Inversion tables explained

Lumbar Traction/ Inversion Tables!🙃🙃🙃 #wednesdaywisdom.
.
.
.
Traction can come in many forms: hanging from a bar, single leg, belt assisted, machine assisted, or inversion tables.
.
.
.

Traction and inversion tables are somewhat controversial due to a large body of research showing NO benefits in regards to the treatment of low back pain.
.
.
.
However, there is some conflicting evidence that shows some select groups of people may have benefits with traction. This includes people with nerve root compression, among other factors.
.
.
.
Of note, traction should never be used as a standalone treatment for low back pain. There also needs to be a well designed rehab program for long term results.
.
.
.
In my opinion, traction is still a great tool for general stretching of the low back, for relaxation in the lumbar musculature, and for some people it provides short term pain relief! It also may have some additional benefits for a select group of individuals including those with nerve root compression.

If something can actually lock around both ur ankles and you are fully suspended from your ankles even 1 minute can reset your vertebrae

if you're worried about falling use the Teeter inversion therapy lx9 incredibly safe and it's weight and gravity-based very easy it picks you right back up simply holding your arm from your elbows to your fingertips up it's great

If the table is set up correctly you can move it up and down by simply moving your arms.
