Inversion Therapy for Back and Sciatic Nerve Pain Relief

One of the major forces working against men and women since the beginning of human existence is the effect that gravity has on our bodies because we walk upright. This constant pressure from gravity directly effects our spine as the combination of gravity and our weight work together to compress our spine. What this compression does is it compresses the discs which are basically shock absorbers between each vertebrae. This compression of the discs literally squeezes the fluid out of the discs and into the soft tissue adjacent to the spine. As we lose this fluid, the vertebrae compress tighter and tighter together to such an extent that the average person can lose as much as 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch each day. At night, when we sleep, our discs regain some of this fluid, but not all of it so that by the time we are 60 years old or more, most people have lost as much as 2 inches in height!

This compression of the discs do not only cause us to shrink over the years, but it is often the root cause of excruciating chronic back pain or can even cause serious injury such as a herniated disc. As the vertebrae compress closer and closer, the root nerves are pinched causing back pain. This is also often the cause of other forms of back pain such as sciatic nerve pain.

So just what is a person supposed to do to reverse this gradual compression process due to gravity. The answer is actually so very simple and basic that it has been used as a treatment for back pain for over 2,000 years. This obvious method to reverse the effects of gravity on our spine is to actually reverse the effect and pressure of gravity and the only way to do that is to hang upside down. Although the initial concept of hanging upside down goes again everything that we feel is natural, but done properly using a solid and secure inversion table, we have the perfect avenue to reverse the compression of our spine. This spinal decompression therapy is known as inversion therapy and can be the answer to your quest for a pain free back or sciatic nerve pain relief.
