Inversion therapy is a method of treating back pain by diminishing the influence of gravity, 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 an inversion table. The table allows you to lie on your back relaxed in an inverted position. This position eliminates some or all of the gravitational compression, depending upon how far back you position your body
Degenerative disc disease is a loss of height of the disc and combining multiple treatment approaches together in order to decompress and generate balance and stability in the spine is very important for long-term results, So Inversion therapy can be very effective. Numerous clinical studies published in reputable medical journals have confirmed that inversion really does increase the separation between the discs of the spine, which brings relief from back pain for many.
