Gravity Inversion Table for Back Pain


Inversion therapy is a method of treating back pain by reducing the compression of the vertebrae and discs and allowing the muscles and ligaments that encase the spine to relax.

This is typically performed on what's called an "inversion table". The table allows you to lie on your back relaxed, in an inverted position. This position eliminates some or all gravitational compression, depending upon how far back you position your body.

Inversion therapy is the safest, quickest and most effective way to increase the space between your vertebrae. It is well documented that inversion really does increase the separation between the discs of the spine, which brings relief from back pain.
