Read on as I show you some helpful information about the inversion table. This will include its role and whether it is right for you or not.<\/p>\n
What Is An Inversion Table?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n It is a table that is padded and connected to a metal frame with hinges. It works by inverting your body, and this is achieved by strapping yourself on the table and allowing the table to flip over slowly.<\/p>\n What Does An Inversion Table Do? <\/strong><\/p>\n For you to understand the role of an inversion table, you need to know about the anatomy of your back. Your spinal column contains vertebrae that are stacked on each other. The spine allows you to rotate, twist, bend, stay upright and protects the spinal cord. The joint formed where the spinal bone connects with each other allows the movements. Also, there is a disc known as inter-vertebral disc at each joint connecting the bones.<\/p>\n The disc is made of tough elastic material that creates space between the spinal bones for nerves branching out and also serves as a shock absorber. The disc can experience micro-trauma, and it can even get compressed and prematurely degenerate as time goes on. Once the disc gets damaged or degenerated or compressed, it cannot regenerate or heal easily, especially in an adult.<\/p>\n This is where the inversion table comes in. Its primary role is to stretch or decompress the joints and discs in the spine. Even though its benefit might be controversial, it may help you improve the amount of blood flow and nutrient in the area. It will also alleviate pressure on the tissues around the nerves that are present between the spinal bones.<\/p>\n How to Use the Inversion Table\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n There is no straight answer to this question. Only you can answer it, and that depends on two factors. These are:<\/p>\n However, you need to get the inversion table and try it for a few weeks before you can tell if it works for you or not.<\/p>\n\n
