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.

Great video. I bought one in 2008 and have never been back to a Chiropractor ever since.. I Swear by them. I use mine everyday and I feel Amazing!

[@StrengthandSport]

Glad to hear it helped!

[@ambitiousbeauty1013]

How many minutes do you do a day?

[@DanielE-dk1ws]

@@ambitiousbeauty1013 Less than 5 minutes.

[@StrengthandSport]

@@ambitiousbeauty1013 Everyone is different - typically working your way up to 10-20 min if it’s tolerable

[@StrengthandSport]

But some people will also get benefit with as little a 2-5 min

[@deannapemberton1323]

Maybe redo this and tell everyone how long and how often now.

[@StrengthandSport]

Good idea! For starters: It is recommended to start for 1-2 min, then slowly progress for 3-5 min, or longer depending on comfort. It can be done daily, or even multiple times a day as needed. Biggest key: listen to your body, and progress slowly.

[@deannapemberton1323]

Thank you so much.

[@nikhilr2761]

What about midback disc protrusion? T4 to t8 will it help

[@StrengthandSport]

Yes- Inversion tables/ traction in general can be really helpful for disc protrusions in both the upper back and lower back..(However- everyone's injury is different- and not everyone will respond the same/ get the same results.

[@fishingbear69]

[@StrengthandSport]

I believe the brand was teeter- but I am not positive!

[@SandyRed881]

Thank you

[@StrengthandSport]

You’re welcome!

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

[@StrengthandSport]

Great tip!

[@jenethdsouza]

[@ScottyPeabody]

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

[@StrengthandSport]

Great tip!

❤Amen Teeter totter too🎉

[@Theneighborino]

The way this guy sounds he doesn’t understand what real back pain feels like.

[@StrengthandSport]

All the videos are quick, informal and often have hints of humor! It’s just my style. But I can assure you that I understand how painful and debilitating back pain can be.
