About Inversion Tables
Back pain is an uncomfortable and cumbersome ailment for millions of people. It can strike repeatedly and without warning, nearly paralyzing its victims with pain and discomfort. Inversion therapy is an excellent way to prevent and treat chronic or recurring back pain. This form of therapy treats back pain by hanging a person upside-down by their ankles. The only problem with this therapy is a risk of spinal injury because of the procedure's lack of support. Fortunately, inversion tables remove this risk.

A person can lie on an inversion table, and then gradually turn themselves upside down, always fully supported by their ankles. With precise balance, simple arm movements control the rotation of the inversion table. Special tether straps or locking hinges allow users to stop a rotation at just the right angle in order to stretch a specific place in their back. This technique has proven effective for relieving spine compression, elongating the spine, and reversing minor spinal dislocations. Of course, this treatment is not for everyone. People with glaucoma, very high blood pressure, bone disorders, or a history of severe spinal injury or surgery should be careful and check with a physician before administering inversion therapy. However, with a bit of practice and caution, inversion tables can be your ticket to a pain-free and healthier back.

Lack of exercise and strain on the back caused by repetitive of sedentary work are the main causes of poor posture leading to problems with the Intervertebral disks. Pain, tension, and malformation of the spine are often the result. Scientific studies have shown that sedentary occupations such as driving or computer work are responsible for many types of back complaints. The spine is the central axis of the body and is surrounded by a "corset" of muscles which has to be exercised regularly to give it support and flexibility. The KETTLER® APOLLO is designed to relieve pressure on Intervertebral disks and relax tension in the muscles.
