Back pain is one of the biggest health complaints that people has these days. This is can be due to various reasons like wrong posture, arthritis, obesity, improper seating, spinal disc injury, etc. Some of them can be treated easily by introducing certain changes in your lifestyle. For others, inversion therapy is indeed an option to go for. In this therapy, patient is hung upside down in an inversion therapy table. This table is designed specially for the therapy and is easily available these days at affordable rates. Once the patient is hung upside down the gravitational pressure on his or her nerve roots and discs in the spinal cord gets reduced which results in increased space between the vertebrae. Often it is seen that the reason behind intense back pain is the compressed discs. When the discs in the spine gets compressed the fluid in between protrude out and put pressure on the nerves which leads to intense pain. On inversion, the body weight exerts gentle traction on the spine which helps it to elongate a little bit and hence adequate space is generated which will prevent the fluid from protruding out. Inversion therapy also helps the muscles to relax and results in increased blood flow, thereby causing less painful spasms. This therapy should be practiced by seeking medical advice. The people who suffer from high blood pressure, heart diseases, glaucoma, fractures, etc should not practice it at all. For others, depending upon the intensity of pain, physician can advice you to invert your body twice or thrice a day. The number of times will be reduced as the condition gets improved. The flexibility and mobility of the body can be increased with the help of inversion therapy. The exercises are easy to perform and once you get used to it you will start enjoying the benefits as well.
