(Newswire.net — January 11, 2018) — Although many people are sold on the benefits of inversion therapy; a good number of them only know of inversion tables. But while inversion tables may be the more popular option when it comes to correcting physical problems such as back pain, inversion chairs can also provide many benefits to their users. Some of these benefits are unique to the brand of inversion therapy the chairs have to offer. Here is a look at why an inversion chair is worth considering if you believe that inversion therapy is the way to go.
1. Better for People with Joint Problems
If you are experiencing heart problems, arthritis, and ankle problems in addition to the back problems you are trying to resolve through inversion therapy, then an inversion chair is the ideal option for you.
This physical therapy device will let you apply traction to your back without putting unnecessary strain on your joints. With an inversion table, the hip, knees, and ankles take quite a bit of pressure during the therapy. This can prove unbearable and even hazardous for people with joint problems; which is why an inversion chair would be the better alternative.
2. Good for the Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system helps get rid of waste from the body. The more effective this system is, the better your health will be. Inversion therapy, the sort delivered by an inversion chair, promotes this process. That means after using an inversion chair, your body should have less waste; which should leave you feeling better and healthier.
3. Promotes Greater Flexibility
The spine takes plenty of abuse from sitting and standing. While lying down might help relieve some of this physical strain, it does not do as good a job as inversion therapy does. With an inversion chair, gravity helps reverse some of the damage it does on the spine by improving your flexibility. The small movements in the spine caused by inversion therapy also help to make it stronger; which is especially useful for those who spend most of their day sitting down.
4. Inversion Chairs offer all the Health Benefits of Inversion Tables
Although inversion tables are more popular, the health benefits they offer are also available to users of inversion chairs. Inversion chairs can resolve and manage back pain, sciatic nerve pain, herniated disc pain, headaches, and so forth.
The inversion chair can also improve flexibility and posture, increase height, and promote joint health. Additionally, inversion chairs can improve the respiratory system, the circulatory system, the immune system, lower stress and improve cognition, improve appearance and even reduce the effects of aging such as wrinkles.
5. Helps Avoid Back Surgery
Back problems, when neglected or treated improperly, can often call for more drastic interventions like surgery. Spinal surgery can be very risky, not to mention expensive. However, with an inversion chair, the problems that might develop into issues requiring surgical interventions can be resolved well ahead of time.
Final Thoughts
The best inversion chairs, in addition to providing the above benefits, should also give you a painless use experience. A chair lets you start from a sitting position, which is a more natural posture. From there, you can make adjustments until you attain the target angle. Good inversion chairs are also durable, comfortable, and sturdy enough to support heavy weights.
