Used inversion tables

When it comes to health, there is not a thing that the people would not try in order to get back to a previous, healthy state. The problem is in the fact that many people do not do one thing when it comes to health prevention and avoiding certain medical issues with some basic rules. Unfortunately, some medical problems cannot be avoided with things like healthy dieting and exercising.

Back pain problem

This problem can happen for various reasons. For example, if we suddenly raised some piece of furniture, nerves in the spine that come out of the vertebrae can get inflamed and start causing pain. Also, this can happen because of a desk job, when a person is forced to sit for many hours in a day. Of course, people who are active in certain sport activities are at a higher risk of getting affected by some back pain issues, especially if we are talking about martial arts (such as judo, aikido and similar). Back pain can be treated in several ways, depending on the actual cause and the symptoms. Medicaments can be used, physical therapy, electro therapy also.

Alternative methods

There are some additional things that can be tried in order to eliminate the back pain and reduce the pressure applied on the backbone. One of more interesting methods is an inversion therapy, which is applied with the help of the inversion table. It is a table that can be rotated backward when a person is on it, so that the head is down and the feet are up. This might be a good therapy because it should alleviate the pressure from the backbone, thus relieving the problematic nerves. This induces the relaxation of the surrounding muscles and other tissue. Inverted position actually removes the effect that gravity has on our body, the backbone particularly. The main goal with this therapy is to increase the space between the vertebrae that eliminates most of the problem, and to induce complete stretching of the back area, although, it has to be mentioned that just one session is not enough. Some studies tell us that at least 8 to 10 sessions are needed to remove the problem.

Inversion tables

This therapy can be performed at home, which is great for those who need to apply it occasionally or for a long period of time. So, that requires buying a new or choosing from used inversion tables. Since, hopefully, inversion table will not be needed after some time, it would be smart to buy a used table. Of course, some things have to be checked – the shape of the table and the functioning of the inverting mechanism. If possible, it would be for the best to get a used table with a warranty that did not expire yet.
