How does inversion therapy help with a herniated disc?

When inverted, the natural pull of gravity allows a separation
of your vertebrae, which lessens the pressure on the discs
in between each vertebrae. The action of increasing the space
margins between the vertebrae can actually create a mild
suction in the disc, which may help encourage the bulged
disc return to its proper place.

The main benefits are realized by increased circulation and
waste elimination to injured discs. In the opinion of many
medical professionals, several sessions of intermittent
traction are the best way to help the body dissolve a bulged
disc.

The length of healing time will vary with different people.
However, it has been our experience that you should hang
three or more times every day for short sessions at an angle
most comfortable for you. Do not over-do it-this is not a
“no pain, no gain situation.”
