What Is Inversion Therapy?
Inversion therapy involves lying on a specialized table that allows the body to tilt at various angles, positioning the head lower than the feet.
This inverted position allows gravity to gently stretch the spine and decompress the vertebrae.
Reducing pressure on spinal discs and nerves can help relieve pain and improve mobility.
How Inversion Therapy Works
When the body is inverted, gravity creates traction along the spine.
This helps:
โข Decompress spinal discs
โข Reduce pressure on nerves
โข Improve spinal alignment
โข Increase circulation
โข Relax surrounding muscles
This decompression effect can provide relief for patients experiencing pressure-related spinal pain.
