What Is Inversion Therapy And How Effective Is It?

Back pains are the most common types of problems suffered by office employees, especially those who are required to work in front of the computer for long hours. Back pain is usually caused by aching muscles due to poor posture and lack of stretching and exercise. Thus, if you sit for long hours, you should get up every few hours and do some stretching.

Back pains cause 50% of sick absences and is also one of those pains which cannot easily be cured by medicines. You should really make an effort to relieve back pains. The most common day to day effective relief for back pains are acupuncture, exercise, hot compress and learning proper posture. But, if these remain ineffective, there is yet another method to instantly relieve back pain. It is called the inversion table therapy.

How does inversion therapy work? A recent ad announced that the therapy was developed by NASA. But this treatment has been used for thousands of years and the person who developed this was actually Hippocrates. Hippocrates is known as "The Father of Medicine."

Back in the old days, people, especially those who were manual labourers, would suffer from back pains and go to him for cures. He has come up with an instant cure which is now known as the inversion therapy. He would hoist his patient up a ladder and make him lie upside down. He would then use ropes and pulleys to pull their backs and straighten it, relieving muscle soreness.

Tests show that the inversion table therapy decrease pain by 35% in as little time as 10 seconds. 86.5% of patients with severe back pains who cannot anymore go to work, experience total relief, allowing them to go back to work. And 70.5% of patients who were already scheduled for a back operation were able to feel well enough to cancel their operation, saving them huge sums of money.

Inversion table therapy is an effective way to re-balance the body, help the circulation, stimulate the brain and relieve pressure on the abdominal organs. It works fast, yet it is safe and effective.
