Lying with your body tilted head downwards to relieve neck and back pain seems irrational. However, you need to reconsider this perception. Spinal inversion is apparently founded in the dawn of documented human health care. Inversion has been around since near 400 B.C. Hippocrates first observed a patient with his knees and ankles bound to a ladder upside down engaged in an early form of inversion therapy.

The original Greek perceptions of inversion are still valid, but today there is a much easier method of relieving neck and back pain than having your family and friends hang you with ropes. The process, spinal inversion therapy, is a natural pathway to a better back and a better body and to reduce back stress or fatigue or stimulate your circulation. Inversion contributes to your overall health via traction, relieving pressure on your spinal discs and nearby structures, stretching muscles of your neck and trunk, encouraging circulation.

When your back relaxes, the rest of your body follows. For frequent and intense symptoms, even reduced pain is a cure for you. An inversion table can also help with flexibility for improved physical performance, reducing the aging impact of gravity on discs, relieving pain related to prolonged stationary work. Spine inversion is a thorough intervention that is convenient. Additionally, tables pay for themselves within a few sessions compared to fee-for-service manual intervention.

Quality products have durable tubular steel frames that are light and strong. Inversion systems are easy to use. You rest your body against foam backboards, your feet into the molded ankle cushions, reaching overhead to initiate your self-care. As your arms reach upwards, your body inverts to the angle of choice consistent with your needs and level of comfort. All your treatment requires is you and your inversion table.

Quality tables have non-skid floor stabilizers and extra-long safety handles to provide easy movement between inverted and upright positions. Tables weighing less than ninety pounds can support frames up to 6 feet 6 inches, weights up to 350 pounds, with easily adjusted ratchet ankle locking systems in consumer market models.

With chronic pain, even intermittently reduced pain is a relative cure for your or my neck, thoracic or low back pain. Spine inversion has been around for more than two thousand years. Spine inversion is at least as effective as manual adjustments and it pays for itself within a few sessions.
