Hang Up on Back Pain: Explore Inversion and Traction Solutions for Spinal Alignment at Bad Backs
Inversion tables are therapeutic devices designed to help you decompress your spine, relieve back pain, improve circulation and promote relaxation through inversion therapy. Inversion therapy essentially involves hanging upside down or at an inverted angle to counteract the effects of gravity on the body.
The most famous brand Teeter was designed by Roger Teeter in the early 1980s in the USA after suffering from back pain. He wanted to find a non-invasive solution for his back pain, and the brand has gone on to become the market leader in inversion therapy with more than 3 million units sold.
One of the primary functions of an inversion table is to decompress the spine. Throughout the day gravity compresses the spine, leading to spinal misalignment, muscle tension and pressure on the intervertebral discs. Inversion tables allow you to recline at various angles, reversing the gravitational force and elongating your spine creating space between the vertebrae. This decompression may help alleviate pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, potentially reducing back pain and improving spinal health. By allowing your body to stretch and elongate in an inverted position, muscle tension can also be reduced, promoting relaxation and relieving stiffness.

Some people suffering from joint pain, such as hip or knee discomfort have found reducing the compressive forces on the joints can also help alleviate pain and improve mobility. It's important to note that while inversion tables can offer benefits for certain individuals, they may not be suitable for everyone. People with certain medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, glaucoma, heart disease or herniated discs, should always consult with their medical professional before using an inversion table. Proper instruction and supervision is also recommended, especially for beginners, to ensure safe and effective use of the equipment. The Nubax traction device from Perth offers and an alternative lower back traction option without the need to go upside down.
