Inversion therapy has plenty of benefits for the human body. It helps improve posture, stimulate proper blood circulation, and reduce chronic back pain often caused by vertebrae column compression.Highly popular in the early 60s', inversion therapy deals with therapeutic intervention, that uses gravitational forces to help heal the body from different injuries and health conditions. The continuous gravitational pull of the earth tends to exert extra downward pressure on the bones, muscles, connective tissues and joints. This downward pressure would only intensify with time and certain activities like lifting heavy objects, climbing stairs, etc.Studies reveal that spinal compression causes the loss of at least 3/4th height in an average human in a single day.
This would lead to adults losing about 2 inches of their height by the time they reach their old age. While loss of height may not be a concern for individuals, the other issues that arise with this continuous downward pull would interfere with daily activities.Inversion therapy can help treat this concern and offer a comprehensive solution for the same. The therapy aims to utilize the gravitational forces in the opposite direction. The gravity inversion table would turn the body upside down using the feet or ankle.
This would allow the muscles, joints and connective tissues to relax and inflate. This in turn, would help treat a variety of conditions like chronic back pain, neck pain, joint pain and discomfort.Although quite effective in completely treating these conditions in individuals, inversion therapy would take some time to show its effect on the body. Results would take time, sometimes even months, depending on the extent of wear and tear of the related area.Let us take the case of Sciatica, a condition caused by the excess pressure placed on the sciatic nerve due to conditions like prirformis syndrome, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, isthmic spondylolisthesis, etc. While conventional medicines like oral medications, surgical operations and even weight loss programs can help treat the condition, alternative therapies like sciatic nerve exercises can help reduce the pain and dysfunctions caused by the condition. In this case, alternative medicines and treatments like change of diet plans, back stretching exercises, and stress management exercises can also help reduce the pain and discomfort experienced by individuals with sciatica.The options mentioned above are just some of the ways in which chronic body pain can be cured completely. Individuals would need to continue with existing treatments in order to remain free of recurring body pains.
