Back Inversion Table

May 25th, 2011

Are you experiencing back pain? Do you find it difficult to work or go about everyday activities because of your back pain discomfort? Can’t find the exact cure for those pains? Then a back inversion table is just what you need.

The most common cause of back pains today is lumbar muscle strain. The lumbar area, or your lower back, is the widest part of your back bone and carries most of the weight of your upper body. Gravity acts on our bodies, pulling us downward. This force puts pressure on our lower back as it pulls our upper body downward as we go about the day (This is why they say we become shorter at the end of the day and taller just after waking up). Activities such as weight lifting, manual labor that requires carrying heavy things, or accidents like slipping and falling on your behind or slipping down the stairs increase the pressure on your lumbar area. Using a back inversion table can help lessen this pressure and prevent damage on your intervertebral disks (or the cartilaginous disks that serve as cushions between your lumbar bones) and make even the most common activities such as walking or sitting very painful.

Inversion is a tried and tested method, dating back as early as 400 BC. Inversion therapy, as it is called, works by suspending a person from the lower body so that the force of gravity pulls the body from the other side. By hanging from your feet as you would do on a back inversion table, your joints will be decompressed as pressure will be applied along the same alignment but in the opposite direction. It also helps in stretching the spine, and is considered a natural and efficient way to relieve back pain.

Inversion therapy doesn’t just cure back pain. It has also been noted to relieve stress, maintain one’s height, improve posture, increase flexibility, realign your spine after a workout, improve circulation, reduce varicose veins, reduce headaches, and increase mental alertness.

Choose the best back inversion table that suits you. Many varieties are available on the market. Designs range from manually-rotated tables to machine-operated tables, with prices ranging anywhere from 0 to 00. In buying your own inversion table, make sure to check out all the features for each table. It should be safe, sturdy and convenient to use at home. Adjustable and foldable inversion tables specially designed for home use are available in the market.

Back pain is a common experience for people who have turned 40, and for those who are involved in heavy labor, sports, or any activity that puts pressure on the back. Inversion therapy has been proven to be a sure, safe and natural way to alleviate back pain. It’s recommended to have your own back inversion table so you could get rid of that back pain effectively. With that back pain gone, you can go along with your everyday activities and live your life to the fullest.
