Inversion and Herniated Disk

Inversion is a natural technique used by USA military personnel to keep them fit and active. Besides the army, it’s used by fitness trainers and is included in some of the exercise programs.


Recent studies have shown that inversion and herniated disk have a relation between them. Herniated disk occurs mostly due to old-age problems. But more often, our lifestyle is responsible for this. Do you know that you measure half an inch longer in the morning than in the evening? This is because the jelly-like substances inside your bony joints gets compressed due to weight pressure and gravity.


When the fluids inside your joints are compressed, they squeeze out naturally. This reduces the elasticity of the cushions that act as shock absorbers. The drying of the joints causes shrinking in the area between the joints from where the nerves pass smoothly.


The compression of the area gradually causes the joints to come closer and exert pressure on the disks. As a result, the disks rupture and bulge out causing herniated disk. The herniated disk then causes problems like back pain, leg pain and foot swelling. The problems depend on the area where the disks bulge out.


Role of inversions in herniated disk:

Inversion of the body is done to relieve the stress of weight from the spinal joints. When a person is in inverted position, the gravitational pull is inverted in the body. This in turn stresses the bone joints in opposite direction. As a result, the space between the joints gets enlarged thus reducing the tensions in the nerves and the cartilages.


You can do the inversion body exercises in inversion chairs that available in the market. With the growing number of spinal pain patients the exercise equipment industry has come up with various inversion chair models. You can buy a chair and perform the exercises of inversions.
