Are inversion tables worth the money? | Ask Steven Hefferon

If you look at the cost of the DRX9000 or any of the other spinal decompression treatments you will see that their cost starts at $2500 for 20 or so treatments and a high quality inversion table is less then $300.

Now if you believe or have been told by your health care provider that spinal decompression is right for you then you do not need to spend $2500 to get it done... an inversion table give you the same effect not to mention inversion has many other benefits.

7 key benefits of inversion Therapy for the back pain sufferer!

While relieving your back pain is your primary reason for considering inversion therapy, there are a number of additional benefits many people experience with a regular program of inversion. Here are 7 good reasons to use inversion therapy:

• Maintains your height. Regularly inverting will help you avoid the "shrinkage" that naturally occurs as a result of gravity over a lifetime.
• Improves circulation. When you're inverted, your blood circulation is aided by gravity rather than having to work against it.�In addition, with inversion, gravity helps the lymphatic system clear faster, easing the aches and pains of stiff muscles.
• Relieves stress. Everyone knows that a full-body stretch is rejuvenating! An inversion table provides the same feeling of relaxation as a yoga class - with a lot less effort. Many people find that they sleep better with regular inversion therapy.
• Heightens mental alertness. Any upside-down activity increases the supply of oxygen to the brain, which many experts believe helps maintain mental sharpness.
• Increases flexibility and range of motion. With inversion, your joints stay healthy and supple, meaning you can remain as active as you were in your younger years.
• Improves posture. The stretching that comes with reversing the force of gravity on your body helps you sit, stand, and move with more ease and grace.
• Realigns the spine after workouts. Running and other aerobic activities inevitably compress your spine - often unevenly. One-sided activities such as golf or tennis often pull the spine out of alignment. During inversion, minor misalignments often correct themselves naturally.

Hi Jesse,
Over the past year I have become a fan of you and what you're doing on your
website. I was 33 yrs old when my son was born. When he was 3 months old I
got out of a rocking chair and "tweaked" the wrong way and ended up spending
2 weeks flat on the floor unable to move icing nonstop (luckily I have family
around). I was in soo much pain, I'd wake up in tears..not that I slept with a new
born in the house.

Completely exhausted, I had an MRI that reported I had herniated my L5-S1
disc area. That started my journey into researching how to take care of my back
and how to get those core muscles some strength after pregnancy. 

3 unsuccessful cortizone injections later, hours of physical therapy, meds etc.
nothing worked. I used to be a marathon runner and lead a very active lifestyle.
I was determined to get back to enjoying my family and life!

Then one night in my quest I came across your website and the inversion table.
I ordered your books, dvd's and an inversion table. It changed my life! I'm hooked
and have been pain free for over 10 months now. I'm doing pilates, run in the
water, "hang like a bat" on the table as my husband calls it, and chase my toddler
around all day without any pain.

Gratefully,
Kate Berman,  34 & fit mama of an active 22 month old. :)

That's awesome!

I've said it so many times before, but it deserves repeating here again now...

Most people get the best results when they COMBINE multiple treatments and
remedies together.

Here's the combination that we have found to work the best for the largest
number of people:

1. Identify and address muscle imbalances, which are almost always the
underlying cause, by using the Lose The Back Pain system

2. Reduce pain and inflammation with safe and natural ingredients like the
ones found in Lifezyme Plus

3. Decompress the spine with some form of traction or inversion therapy

4. Address trigger points - with help from a trigger point specialist or can be
done at home using our trigger point self treatment system

5. Improve your mental / emotional state and wipe out negative stress and
there are many ways to accomplish this. A few products we recommend
are the Stress Less video and Mind Body Pain Relief

Well, I hope you find the video about inversion therapy informative and keep
your eyes peeled as I have several more videos I'll be sending you over the
next few weeks.

In fact, I have one about sciatica where I'll show you one of THE most effective
stretches for sciatica... plus an other video showing you many little things you
can do to reduce or better manage pain while at work.

So, that's all for now... talk to you again soon.

Does inversion Therapy work? YES and HOW...

What is Inversion Therapy like?

Let's take a look at what a back pain sufferer will go through in a typical session. First, you do not need to go into full inversion to get the benefits. (Note: It will take time before you will be able to tolerate full inversion.) Here is a simple guide for beginners:

First 2 Weeks: Adjust the table to go to 20-30 degrees for 1 to 2 minutes, once or twice a day. Slowly increase your time until you become comfortable with the process and the position. The best way to tell if you're getting used to the inversion table is whether or not you can relax while you're using it.

My Story of Inversion Therapy and Back Pain

With 15 years in the health and wellness industry, I have seen a lot of fads come and go and in the mid 1980s, gravity boots hit the seen and that started a new revolution for treating back pain, sciatica, Herniated disc and numerous other forms of back pain.

Today we don’t use moon boots but we do use a spinal decompression technique called Inversion Therapy… I have written extensively on all forms of spinal decompression and there effectiveness, I encourage you to read the report and the studies that have been done in the last 20 plus years as a treatment for back pain.

Does Inversion Therapy help for Herniated Disc?

Inversion helps in two ways, the first is when you are inverted,
the natural pull of gravity allows a separation of your vertebrae,
which lessens the pressure on the discs in between each vertebrae.
The action of increasing the space margins between the vertebrae
can actually create a mild suction in the disc, which may help
encourage the bulged disc return to its proper place.

The main benefits are realized by increased circulation and waste
elimination to injured discs. In the opinion of many medical
professionals, several sessions of intermittent traction are the
best way to help the body dissolve a bulged disc.

The length of healing time will vary with different people.
However, it has been our experience that you should hang three or
more times every day for short sessions at an angle most comfortable
for you.
