How Does Therapy Featuring an Inversion Table Work?
Treatment methods are becoming more innovative than ever. Even gravity can be utilized in different ways to administer treatment. More specifically, your chiropractor can use gravity and an inversion table to address your health conditions by providing a treatment known as inversion therapy.
For those unfamiliar with inversion therapy, it involves positioning the body upside down to create traction. Applying traction directly to the spine stretches it out and creates larger spaces between the vertebrae.
Stretching the spine to create bigger gaps between the vertebrae is helpful because it alleviates pressure. Reducing the pressure level prevents damage to your vertebrae, spinal discs, and nerves emerging from the spinal cord. The stretching motions are also beneficial because they promote better circulation. The improved circulation can help injured body parts recover faster.
By improving circulation, inversion therapy also reduces inflammation.
Inversion therapy can be used to address a wide array of conditions, including back pain, neck discomfort, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, sciatica, pinched nerves, and scoliosis.
Inversion therapy’s underlying mechanics focus on improving spine health. You can experience the benefits of treatment featuring an inversion table in Kailua Kona, HI, by partnering with Dr. Ichishita of Big Island Chiropractic.
What Can You Expect During Inversion Therapy Sessions?
Inversion therapy differs from other treatments designed to address musculoskeletal conditions. Consult with Dr. Ichishita in Kailua Kona, HI, before trying inversion therapy to ensure it can work for your current condition.
As long as your chiropractor has cleared you, inversion therapy should cause no issues. A standard inversion table comes with safety harnesses to keep a patient in place. Your chiropractor can also set the inversion table at the right angle to maximize the benefits of treatment while maintaining your comfort.
You should know that inversion therapy can elevate your blood pressure. The elevated pressure level may affect your eyes the most. To mitigate that increased pressure, your chiropractor will carefully control the duration of treatment. They can modify the length of your treatment based on how your body reacts.
