Inversion tables are used to relieve back pain of all sorts. If you yourself have been experiencing pains in the back, whether from physical or chronic reasons, you may be able to find relief. Inversion tables do wonders for certain situations where back pain has become unbearable.
The disks in your back serve their purpose, but can sometimes move out of place. Other times they may be condensed, elongated, or pinched to create a painful feeling each time your spine moves in the target area. If the injury is due to stress being put on the disk, an inversion table will take the stress off temporarily. Odds are you will still need surgery, but the relief is what is sought.
A side effect of back pains would include a headache or body aches. Inversion tables promote blood flow, which has been known to halt such side effects in their tracks. Once the headache caused from your back aches has passed its prime, taking a few minutes to invert your body will help get your recovery back on track.
In some instances, inversion tables have been known to aid those who have scoliosis. Talk with a physician first, as there are many types of scoliosis which may interact with your inversion table techniques incorrectly. If given the go ahead, you or your child may enjoy slowing or reversing the effects of the disease. If nothing else, it helps the patient relax and find comfort.
Inversion tables are very flexible in what they are able to allow in terms of an incline. From upright to a complete vertical flip, different inclines have been able to target different aspects of back pain. If you are experiencing back pain as a result of disc problems, a full incline is known to do great under certain conditions. Medium inclines are fantastic for problems of stress and lack of blood flow. Finally, a light incline is best suited for the beginner who isn't adept in using inversion tables.
The inversion tables seen on the market today are most excellent in terms of safety and design. That doesn't mean you won't have to learn how to use them properly, and also learn to deal with the nausea that some get in their first time using an inversion table. If possible, look at online videos of the act of using a table, or consult your local gym expert for some advice.
