Benefits of Inversion Therapy

Inversion Therapy is helpful to those who suffer from chronic lower back pain, poor circulation, sciatica or scoliosis.

Reduced back pain due to relaxation capabilities, which release tension in user’s spine. For example, in a standing position, gravity pulls the spine downward compressing the discs, vertebral bodies, nerves, and other structures. Inversion therapy changes the physical dynamics with gravity’s assistance to help relieve spinal compression.

 Improved spinal health is said to be a positive outcome of inversion therapy because of how it can improve the space between your spinal discs, ultimately relieving pressure. Did you know that activities like sitting, running, or bending can actually put more pressure on these discs in your spine? The more the tension and pressure increases, the high the risk is for the individual to experience back pain, or other tough situations such as having a collapsed vertebra. There are also other complications that may result.

Increased flexibility of the spine – Any smaller movements that occur in the spine over time can actually help make the body stronger. It’s possible that you may find it a lot simpler to just bend and reach. Inversion therapy is also thought to improve posture. This might be especially helpful if you have a desk job.

Lessens the need for surgery – A 2014 study’s results indicated that the zero-gravity nature of inverting can reduce any tension or compression. Those who published the study also mentioned that inversion could even potentially prevent disabilities that regularly occur from back problems. This means that it can also reduce the need for any back or spinal surgery, which is excellent news for those who have been suffering from chronic back conditions or any pain. An additional 2012 study that was done by Disability and Rehabilitation discovered that individuals who have lumbar disease managed to reduce their need for back surgery significantly after using the method of inversion therapy.

While these findings are quite riveting, it’s still very important to acknowledge that spinal and back problems are far more complex than just a few generalized terms. While inversion therapy is a great method to temporarily alleviate pain, it cannot guarantee that back or spine surgery won’t be required in the future. Even the best inversion therapy should not be considered a reliable alternative treatment for individuals who suffer from chronic back pain. Be sure to talk about your symptoms and conditions thoroughly prior to considering trying inversion therapy as a potential treatment or as a form of exercise, which it is generally not regarded as.

After speaking to your doctor, who should have a very clear and accurate understanding of your symptoms and conditions, you may notice that your doctor may actually advise against doing any inversion exercises depending on whether you suffer from certain medical conditions. Some of those medical conditions include but are not limited to the following:

• Certain bone and joint disorders. For example, osteoporosis, a herniated disk, any fractures, or any spinal injuries.
• Cardiovascular disorders. A prominent example of a heart problem that could get in the way of your ability to use the inversion method as a treatment would be a condition like high blood pressure, stroke, or even heart disease. It’s especially important to note that using inversion methods and exercises can raise the blood pressure of the individual doing the inverting, which can lead to severe complications considering they already are suffering from high blood pressure.
• General diseases or infections including but not limited to ones such as conjunctivitis (also known as pink eye), ear infections, glaucoma, or even cerebral sclerosis.

There are so many factors that can play a significant role in whether or not it’s safe for an individual to try using inversion methods as a way to cope with back pain or alleviate spinal pressure, but ultimately these risks can best be assessed by a licensed doctor who has a thorough understanding of the patient’s medical history.

Safety is the most important factor when deciding whether or not this method is the right one for you, your needs and your body’s capabilities. Inversion tables should not be viewed as a shortcut to back pain alleviation. Inversion therapy is known as the performance of brief stretches in an upside down fashion in order to decompress the spinal discs and alleviate pressure, increasing air. This is very different from being a cure-all. There’s little evidence that inversion therapy provides long-term relief. The most it can really provide are short-term benefits including temporary relief from back pain and increased flexibility of the inverter.
