Special Health Advisory:

2000 Year Old Back Pain Treatment
Covered Up...

Could a true back pain cure with an
incredible success rate get covered up?

Even if it has millions of success stories and a
2000 year track record?

Would you believe that for over 2000 years the medical community has been ignoring a time-tested and proven treatment for back pain?

As you've likely experienced, most doctors are too busy treating the symptoms of back pain with treatment like anti-inflammatory medications, electrical stimulation, ultrasound and cortisone injections, and they simply ignore what is one of the biggest factors that contributes to back pain.

This contributing factor is spinal compression...

What is Spinal Compression and What Causes It?

From the moment we are born, our bodies are at the mercy of gravity, a force that continuously creates pressure and stress on all of our muscles, bones, joints and ligaments.

By far, the part of the body that is affected most by gravity is the spine. The combination of gravity and muscle imbalances shove the vertebrae together, pressing on the discs. 

The inner core of your discs consists of jelly-like material that acts like a shock absorber system, providing flexibility and cushioning when you are sitting, standing or exercising. 

During your normal daily activities, gravity causes fluid to squeeze out of your discs into adjacent soft tissue.  With less space between the discs, you lose some height.  When you sleep, some – but not all – of the fluid soaks back into the discs.

During a typical day, you can lose as much as ¾ inch in height!  And because there's only a partial recovery at night, the average person loses ½ inch to 2 inches in height by their senior years.

Insufficient distance between the vertebrae can result in nerve root pressure, which in turn causes pain. 

To make matters worse, very often the pressure on the discs is not distributed evenly.   Your discs were not designed to cope with such uneven pressure, and sooner or later it will be too much for them to withstand.  The discs will bulge, herniate, causing spinal damage and likely, a life with chronic pain.

Even the slightest increase in spacing can be enough to allow a herniated disc to pop back into place or relieve pressure from a compressed nerve.

Use This 2000 Year Old Treatment To Decompress Your Spine
and Eliminate Your Pain

What is this mysterious treatment that has been proven effective but is being ignored?

Inversion therapy.

Inversion therapy is a method of treating back pain by diminishing the influence of gravity, reducing the compression of the vertebrae and discs and allowing the muscles and ligaments that encase the spine to relax.

This is typically performed on what's called an inversion table. The table allows you to lie on your back relaxed, in an inverted position.  This position eliminates some or all gravitational compression, depending upon how far back you position your body.

Inversion therapy is the safest, quickest and most effective way to increase the space between your vertebrae.   Numerous clinical studies published in reputable medical journals have confirmed that inversion really does increase the separation between the discs of the spine, which brings relief from back pain.

For instance, one study considered 175 people who were unable to work due to back pain.  After eight inversion treatments, 155 of the patients were able to return to work full time. 

How Well Does Inversion Therapy Really Work?

You're probably wondering whether or not inversion therapy really delivers long-term, lasting relief from back pain and sciatica... so here are some success stories from people who have used inversion therapy to get rid of their back pain:

And here's another one:

And If Pain Relief Wasn't Enough...

While this advisory concentrates on whether or not inversion therapy helps alleviate back pain, we should mention other benefits people experience with a regular program of inversion:

• Maintains your height.  Regularly inverting will help you avoid the "shrinkage" others your age are showing because of the cumulative effect of gravity over a lifetime.
   
• Improves circulation.  When you're inverted, your body can circulate your blood aided by gravity rather than having to work against it.  In addition, with inversion, gravity helps the lymphatic system clear faster, easing the aches and pains of stiff muscles.
   
• Relieves stress.  A full-body stretch feels rejuvenating!  And the inversion table makes that relaxation easier to attain than climbing on a jungle gym or taking a yoga class.  Many people sleep better with regular inversion therapy.
   
• Heightens mental alertness.  Any upside-down activity increases the supply of oxygen to the brain, which many authorities believe helps you maintain mental sharpness.
   
• Increases flexibility and range of motion.  With inversion, your joints stay healthy and supple, so that you can easily remain as active as you were in your younger years.
   
• Improves posture.  The stretch that comes with reversing the direction of gravity helps you sit, stand and move with more ease and grace.
   
• Realigns the spine after workouts.  Running and other aerobic activities inevitably compress your spine, frequently unevenly.  One-sided activities like golf or tennis often pull the spine out of alignment.  During inversion, minor misalignments often correct themselves naturally.
   

Is Inversion Therapy Safe?

Of course, if all those benefits came with any significant risks, we would not recommend hanging upside down as a method of relieving back pain. 

For many years, the biggest concern was that inversion therapy would increase the chance of stroke.  However, according to Roger Teeter, one of the pioneers in this field, "In 25 years, I have never seen a case – published or unpublished – where inversion caused a stroke."

Some users get concerned because their face gets red when they are inverted.  But this is actually a good thing because it indicates that blood flow to the brain, eyes, skin and hair is increasing.  Over time, you get used to how different it feels when you are inverted.  If you are uncomfortable, simply invert at a lesser angle or for a shorter period of time until your body gets accustomed to inversion.

If you have high blood pressure, heart disease or an eye condition, or if you have had fusion surgery, you should check with your doctor before inverting.  Keep in mind that extensive research shows that inversion therapy is as safe as most daily activities.

What Should I Look for in an Inversion Table?

Around 400 BC, Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, strung up a patient on a ladder with ropes and pulleys to treat his back pain.  Inversion therapy has come a long, long way in comfort, construction and convenience since those days.

We have spent the last three years testing every inversion table and device on the market in order to find the best one to recommend to people who'd like to experience the benefits of inversion therapy at home at the same time that they are addressing the muscle imbalances that cause their back pain.

An inversion table for reducing your back pain should be safe, sturdy, adjustable, durable and convenient for home use.  It should adjust easily to a variety of inversion angles, including full inversion – completely upside down.

The ONLY Inversion Therapy System We Recommend

The Inversion Therapy System we recommend has all of these qualities.  Not only is it the most sturdy, durable inversion table we tested, it's also the safest and easiest to use. Plus, it comes with a five-year warranty which is unheard of among other inversion table manufacturers.

But in our opinion, its most important feature is that it allows you to go back to full inversion if you choose.  Many inversion tables don't allow you to invert all the way, which severely limits their usefulness for eliminating back pain. Included with this particular inversion table are a laminated user manual and an instructional video on DVD.

But before telling you about the special discount we negotiated, let's look at what's special about the inversion table that we recommend.

-       Safety.  Unlike other inversion tables, the Inversion Therapy System passed the rigorous safety testing of Underwriters Laboratories, an independent testing facility.  This product is rated as safe for use as Medical Equipment in a Clinical Setting, where demands are more severe than in the typical household.

-       Complete range of inversion angles.  Unlike other inversion tables, the Inversion Therapy System table can invert you at a complete range of angles, from a slight downward tilt to a full upside-down inversion.  You control the angle you want, and you can change it instantaneously.

-       Durability.  Made of high-carbon steel, this inversion table is so strong and well-made that it carries a five-year warranty.  In the manufacturer's tests, it lasted 50,000 cycles without any structural damage, while the best competing table lasted only 14,000 cycles and the worst failed at just 288 cycles.

-       Quick and easy to assemble.  With one-quarter the number of separate parts as competing tables, the Inversion Therapy System assembles in less than five minutes.  No need to be a mechanical genius to set it up!

-       Adaptable.  Anyone who has a height between 4' 8" and 6' 6" or weighs up to 300 pounds can use this inversion table. 

-       Convenient for home use.  You don't need a lot of floor space to keep your inversion table handy, since it folds easily for storage in a closet, in a corner or under a bed.  In addition, you don't need to wear any special kind of clothing to use it.

-       Includes user guide and telephone support.  The Inversion Therapy System is extremely easy to use, and comes with a laminated, easy-to-follow printed user guide as well as a video guide illustrating its use in action.  Not only that, if you have any questions about how to use it, or how to incorporate inversion therapy into your back pain reduction program, simply call us toll-free and we'll provide answers.

Medical Studies

1.  Sheffield, F.: Adaptation of Tilt Table for Lumbar Traction. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 45: 469-472, 1964.
175 patients who were unable to work due to back pain were treated. After eight inversion treatments, 155 patients were able to return to their jobs full time. Study concluded that the main basis for improvement was the stretching of paraspinal vertebral muscles and ligaments and possibly the widening of intravertebral discs.

Study found significant improvements in a variety of diagnosis including spondylolisthesis, herniated discs, lumbar osteoarthritis with sciatica, and coccygodynia. Patient experienced traction in a modified hip flexed position.

It is worth noting that previous to his use of inversion therapy, Dr. Sheffield regularly used mechanical traction with weights and pulleys. He considered inverted traction much more effective than mechanical traction.

2.  Nosse, L.: Inverted Spinal Traction. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 59: 367-370, Aug 78.
Study found emg activity (an indicator of muscle pain) declined 35% within the first 10 seconds of inversion. Study found that inversion increases the spinal length. Study concluded there is a correlation between a reduction in emg activity and an increase in spinal length.

3.  Gianakopoulos, G, et al: Inversion Devices: Their Role in Producing Lumbar Distraction. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 66: 100-102, Feb 85.
Study found all subjects experienced intravertebral separation in the lower lumbar vertebrae. Study concluded that although mechanical traction has been used for centuries, only gravity assisted traction (inversion) offers an effective means of achieving pelvic traction at home.

4.  Ballantyne, Byron, et al: The Effects of Inversion Traction on Spinal Column Configuration, Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, and Perceived Discomfort. Jour of Orthopedic Sports Phys Ther. 254-260, Mar 86.
Study concluded that inversion can be an effective means of spinal traction. Subjects inverting in the hip flexed position experienced greater separation between the lumbar vertebrae.

5.  Kane, M, et al: Effects of Gravity-facilitated Traction on Intravertebral Dimensions of the Lumbar Spine. Jour of Orthopedic and Sports Phys Ther. 281-288, Mar 85.
Study found gravity-facilitated traction (inversion), produces significant intravertebral separation in lumbar spine. Study concluded gravity facilitated traction may be an effective modality in the relief of low back pain.

6.  Goldman, R, et al: The Effects of Oscillating Inversion on Systemic Blood Pressure, Pulse, Intraocular Pressure, and Central Retinal Arterial Pressure. The Physician and Sports Medicine. 13: 93-96, Mar 85.
Study concluded that full inversion using oscillation procedure presents no risk to normotensive healthy subjects.

7.  Dimberg, L, et al: Effects of gravity-facitliated traction of the lumbar spine in persons with chronic low back pain at the workplace.
116 people were enrolled in the randomized controlled trial which lasted for 12 months. A randomized controlled trial with two training groups and one control group was conducted to asses the effect of gravity inversion on pain level and absenteeism due to LBP. Average age = 44 years. 77% men
Group 1: used inversion for 10 minutes 1/day
Group 2: used inversion for 10 minutes 2/day
Group 3: control group

Results after 12 months of training program: 1. The employees in Group 1 and 2 decreased sick days due to back pain by 33%. 2. Average sick days to due back pain fell by 8 days per individual in the treated group. 3. "Inversion is an efficient and cheap way to improve employee health and possibly reduce sick day costs to the employer."

8.  Nachemson, Alf, et al: Intravital Dynamic Pressure Measurements in Lumbar Discs. 1970.
Study measured internal disc pressure (in the 3rd lumbar disc) through a range of activities, including standing, sitting, bending and vertical and supine traction. The study suggests that a traction load of 60% body weight is sufficient to reduce the residual pressure of 25% standing body weight to zero.
