Taking it Upside Down with a Back Pain Inversion Table
from:So many people experience back pain in their life. There are many forms of therapies that have been developed to relieve pain, ease muscle tension and improve the spine. A back pain inversion table is just one of the treatments people use to find temporary relief. Inversion therapy falls under the heading of traction therapy, because it uses tension on the spine.
Inversion therapy uses a back pain inversion table. It’s an apparatus that enables you to lie in a position that causes the spine to stretch using your own weight. The table can be tilted to various degrees depending upon what you’re comfortable attempting. Your feet are secured during the therapy so there’s no fear of falling.
People who choose a back pain inversion table see it as having several advantages over some other forms of treatment. For one thing it’s non-invasive. Another advantage is there are no medications required. Also, it’s up to you how much of an angle the table is tilted. Some people find this form of therapy to be relaxing because it can increase blood flow. In addition, the table is extremely easy to use.
Despite the name, you don’t actually hang completely upside down (though you can if you want too). In fact, you want to start slowly when you use a back pain inversion table. You should begin with a slight tilt for a few minutes and work up to the angle you choose. Any tilting of the table will cause the spine to stretch which relieves pressure.
Your spine compresses as you age. This is due to a number of factors including gravity and loss of fluid in the tissue between the spinal discs. Compression of the spine can result in back pain. The back pain inversion table is intended to offset some of the damage caused by gravity. The vertebrae in the back are separated which temporarily restores the spine.
Using a back pain inversion table will only give temporary pain relief. It’s not a long term solution to back pain. But sometimes that’s all people want – especially when the pain is due to an injury. Temporary relief of back pain can enable you to get some sleep or perform your daily activities.
If you are looking for an easy way to get some temporary back pain relief, a back pain inversion table is a possible solution. You can use the table in conjunction with an exercise program too. Exercising can extend the benefits you achieve using the inversion table.

What to do about too many medical tests
As I prepared to leave the doctor's office after a routine checkup a few months ago, the receptionist handed me a list of blood work for my next visit. I asked whether a PSA was really necessary: My prostate numbers had been elevated after six months on supplemental testosterone, but since I had stopped the hormone, two consecutive tests had come back normal.
