Will An Inversion Table Help With My Sciatic Pain

I have been getting many questions about inversion tables and if it will help with patient’s low back pain. For the most part, inversion tables can help your low back by using gravity to decrease the pressure off of your discs. The discs in between your spine act like the shock absorbers you have in your car. Constant load and pressure on these discs and the discs get aggravated.

Before using an inversion table, check with your doctor if the therapy will be safe for you. Since you are inverting your body, a large increase in pressure does go to your head. If you have issues with high blood pressure or even glaucoma, your doctors may not want you to do this therapy.

I am a huge fan of “Bob and Brad” and they are excellent Physical Therapists. Watch this video as they go a little more in depth into inversion tables.
