Spine Decompression Therapy -
Experts’ Top Recommendations

Your spine is fighting a losing battle with gravity every day.

From the minute you get up in the morning to the time you lay down at night, gravity is pulling on your body compressing your soft tissues and spine.

When you spend your day sitting down (as many of us do) poor posture and lousy office chairs just make things worse.

The end result is chronic back pain and neck pain that won’t get better until you take action. Spine decompression therapy is one of the better actions you can take.

Spine decompression helps reverse the compressive effects of both gravity and your lifestyle. It’s a safe, natural alternative to dangerous back surgery or pain pills that only mask the problem.

The results are so powerful the U.S. Army uses spine decompression to repair the backs of its elite members and NASA claims they used it to “cure” back pain.

After six years of meticulous research on inversion and spine decompression therapy, the U.S. Army Physical Fitness School put spine decompression in their training doctrine, calling it “an ideal way to mitigate the stress of jumping, running, and other strenuous tasks.” And NASA reported an 86% or higher success rate at treating even “chronic cases of disc hernia, bulge, sciatica, and degeneration.”

Of course, you don’t have to be a soldier or astronaut to benefit – regular workers also get impressive results with spinal decompression. Volvo required all employees to use a spine decompression machine daily on company time to combat sick days and back problems. Their employees promptly reduced the average amount of sick time per year by an average of eight sick days per employee.

An Inexpensive, Efficient Back Pain Solution

Spine decompression therapy works …but how much does it cost? It can be run a small fortune if you go for the expensive solutions some experts recommend. The DRX-9000 system found in some chiropractor and physical therapist offices can run you $2,500 – $6,000 for a series of treatments, or more than $30,000 if you want to buy your own machine. While that may be a bargain compared to the more than $50,000 you might spend on spinal fusion surgery, it’s still not a good deal.

A well-designed inversion table or lower back decompression system will give you the same benefits as a DRX-9000 machine for a fraction of the cost. Both approaches use the same inversion principles Hippocrates laid down more than 2,000 years ago. Why not put a safe, efficient back pain relief system in your home for less than $500 instead of wasting your money?

The team of experts at the Healthy Back Institute has reviewed dozens of spine decompression machines. Manufacturers send them to us to review all the time, but they’re not all equal. We simply refuse to recommend some of those overpriced pieces of junk. Feel free to look for those low-price, unsafe non-bargains at Walmart or Amazon.

There are really just two spinal decompression systems we’ve tested and can recommend at this point. Both systems are backed by real research – and they won’t cost you an arm and a leg, either.

Spine Decompression Therapy Option #1

The first type of spine decompression system we recommend are inversion tables.

The word inversion implies “upside down,” but inversion tables can provide spine decompression with as little as 15% inversion. By placing your body in a position gravitationally opposite from the way you spend most of your day, you can counteract the side effects of compression.

Inversion tables offer effective spine decompression and often bring fast pain relief along the whole length of your back, including relief from hip and neck pain. They can help combat pain from degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, pinched nerves, and arthritis.

The level of traction on an inversion table is controlled by gravity and your body weight, and it works fast. According to a 1978 study, you can feel up to a 35% decrease in your pain in as little as 10 seconds with one of these tables. Many back surgeries have been cancelled after patients used an inversion table as few as eight times.

The key to safe, effective inversion therapy is to use only a quality inversion table. This means an inversion table made from strong, stable high-carbon steel that will support years of safe use. With a table like this, you can fully invert in comfort and even feel confident doing additional strength-building activities to improve your spinal health.

Spine Decompression Therapy Option #2

The second spine decompression system we recommend, the Nubax Trio, provides middle and lower spine decompression even for those who can’t invert or aren’t comfortable with inversion systems.

Due to the way it works, the Nubax isn’t an option for upper back or neck decompression, but is highly effective for spine decompression therapy from the shoulder blades down through the SI joint. It’s also small and portable, making it useful for those without much room to spare.

While it’s a much newer technology than inversion tables, the Nubax has already gained impressive credentials. In one study by the School of Sport Science, Exercise, and Health in Western Australia, the Nubax was shown to give 100% of users improvement in physical function, stiffness and pain within the first three weeks. And since you control the level of traction, users of the Nubax can get even greater spine decompression than with an inversion table.
