Dealing with back pain is obviously debilitating. People end up having to deal with massages, pain injections, chiropractic treatments, pain medication, surgical options and core exercises. Managing pain is definitely something that is possible. One way to manage the pain and improve the overall spine health is to use an inversion table. This is definitely controversial with some people saying that this can help out while others saying that this is impossible.

Inversion Table Role

There are different benefits of inversion table use that can be considered but we should start with the device’s role. It is said that increased nutrient supply can come to the compressed back discs through decompression and compression. Back pain usually appears because a disc is not getting the necessary nutrients. This leads to degrading and break down. The disc cannot heal or regenerate and the inversion table will stretch or decompress. This will reduce tissue pressure around nerves and improve the blood flow and nutrients flow in the area.

Should You Consider An Inversion Table?

We obviously cannot tell you if you should or not because of the fact that everything is connected to the underlying reason why back pain appears. Everything is basically connected to two important factors that have to be taken into account:

• Inversion tables can offer pain relief but that will not happen with all patients. It is necessary to try it first in order to see if you are among those that can actually be treated by it before you decide to buy one.

• The second thing to consider is whether or not long term use will improve back function. In the event that the table can improve the ability to life, sit down, exercise, do house work, walk or any day-to-day activity, it is something that can be considered.

Those that are labeled as degenerative disc sufferers will surely have advantages in using the inversion table and it is quite recommended as an aid that can bring in the pain relief that is necessary. At the moment, the number of chiropractors that recommend the inversion table is growing as more test it and notice the benefits that are associated.

Statistics show the fact that using moderate disc compression is a highly effective treatment that can improve disc spine help. Alternating decompression and moderate compression can easily have a great impact on overall health, together with functioning of the spinal joints and inter-vertebral discs.

Using The Inversion Table

A really important thing to consider with the inversion table is that you have to use it moderately, slowly at first. Inversion of around 15 degrees with a 30 seconds hold, then getting to the horizontal level is usually recommended. Before you buy an inversion table, make sure that you use one that is recommended by professionals and that is really good for your current situation.

Read reviews and never choose something that is not appropriate. There are many interesting options that can be considered and you can choose one that is really good based on what the professionals will tell you.
