Teeter Hang Ups EP-950 Inversion Table with Healthy Back DVD
Taking care of your back is important for your health and pain free life. The lower back supports especially the lumber region, which means it supports more than 60% percent of the body weight. Improper distribution of weight and poor posture cause spinal realignment. The vertebrate gets curved reducing the space between vertebrates. As the space between the vertebrates gets smaller, the discs and the nerve endings between them get crushed, sending shooting pain down the lower back and legs. This pain may sporadic or chronic.
This kind of back problem can be easily aggravated by the slightest movement. A back problem like this limits your movement considerably. The bad news is that you can end up with a back problem even though you are fit. Running and jogging puts pressure on the vertebrate compressing them. As you age compression increases, increasing the chances of chronic back pain.
Treatment varies depending upon the intensity of the pain. Bed rest should be good enough if the pain is low in intensity. However, if the pain persists for more than two days make sure to see a doctor to understand the nature and cause of the pain. Anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen also helps. Sometimes the pain may not subside even after bed rest and medication. If the damage is extensive, surgery may be advised.
Inversion therapy is steadily gaining ground when it comes to treating back pain. It is becoming popular day by day because it is completely non invasive and natural. It uses our body weight to stretch out the spine through traction. Using it for a few minutes every day, does the job.
