Back Pain Relief Using the Drx9000 – How You Can Avoid Inversion Table Hangups
Have you ever had to endure — even for just a few moments — an annoying and often nagging pain along the side of your leg?
Then you may be suffering from sciatica which results from the sciatic nerve fibers being compressed. These nerve fibers run from the lower back in the lumbar region and through the sciatic foramen, behind the thigh and down your legs towards your feet.
The pain from sciatica can be varied: dull or sharp, tingling or burning, numb or accompanied by sporadic shocks of pain from the lumbar area going down the back of the thigh towards the feet. Any movement affecting the lower back such as sitting or even standing up can be painful.
Some people have found inversion table therapy to offer some lower back pain relief.
Inversion tables are specially designed tables that permit the patient to hang upside down or at an angle in an effort to alleviate back pain. Sometimes, gravity boots are used in conjunction with the inversion table. In a way, inversion therapy is similar to spinal traction or spinal decompression therapy.
Although traditional western doctors are sometimes reluctant to recommend inversion tables or inversion therapy for back pain, there are claims that it can be effective. The reasoning or principle behind the treatment is simple. Much of the back problems people have are the result of aging – in other words – living a long time with gravity constantly pulling down.
The idea behind inversion tables is that your weight is turned upside down (or at least angled) and by having your weight suspended from your lower body you are putting equal and opposite gravity pressure on the joints and spine. Therefore, in effect, you are doing the opposite of what happens naturally — the constant “weighing down” on the body by the pull of gravity when you are standing upright. This is intended to reverse or reduce the pressure on the discs between the vertebrae and help reduce the wearing down, or degeneration, of those discs.
Another type of spinal therapy device that is gaining popularity is the DRX9000. This machine is a kind of sophisticated traction table that employs a computer-controlled oscillating pull-and-release motion to relieve stress on the spine. According to the manufacturer Axiom Worldwide of Florida, this special oscillation motion prevents the body from going into spasm which is what can happen with traditional constant-force type systems like traction tables and inversion therapy systems.
Always consult with your doctor or medical professional to understand fully your healthcare options and associated risks.
