Inversion Tables and Back Stretching: Better Ways to Treat Back Pain
Recently The Wall Street Journal published an article regarding the current trend in treating back pain. Persistent back pain can be a chronic issue for persons over the age of fifty, and that 30 million Americans regularly suffer from back pain. The number is expected to grow as the U.S. population ages and face degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis. Back pain ranks second behind the common cold for physician visits and accounts for 25% of all workers compensation claims. The article indicated that the current patient treatment includes excessive x-ray and CT scans and radical spinal surgeries to fuse vertebrae in the lumbar region, costing the health care system more than $90 billion annually. Moreover, many of the CT and X-rays are unnecessary and the back lumbar fusion surgeries can take up to a full year for recovery. Over treatment of back pain can lead to expensive and dangerous care than leaves patients in worse shape.
Now several medical experts are touting a more conservative approach: continued stretching, strengthening and flexibility exercises along with pain medication, if needed. Described as the new Back Pain Recognition Program, the goal is to reduce the number of scans and expensive treatments and adopt treatments that are proven to work. For many patients, the most effective treatment for back pain is much less invasive. Acute back pain usually subsides in four to six weeks with pain management, minimal bed rest, and a return to physical activity. Studies also showed than prolonged bed rest and limited physical stretching activity is not helpful. The highlights of the new plan include:
- Stop Smoking: Smokers with back pain have more sever symptoms.
- Maintain normal activity and avoid bed rest: Bed rest can lead to health problems such as joint stiffness, muscle wasting, and pressure sores.
- Use X-rays and CT scans only when appropriate: Program considers scans unnecessary in the first six weeks after the onset of pain unless indications of a more serious disorder is apparent.
- Use epidural steroid injections only when necessary: injections may be unnecessary unless symptoms include radiating pain such as sciatica, or herniated disc.
- Hold off on surgery: Half of patients with radiating low back pain recover spontaneously.
RelaxRate.com has a wide selection of inversion tables and back stretching devices that fit into the new program from the National Committee of Quality Assurance. Physical activity that provides for back stretching and flexibility gains are very important to back pain treatment. Inversion therapy and back stretching therapy are part of the right care for aching backs.

whether you trained all winter in the gym or braved the outdoor chill, warmer weather makes for a much more convenient workout. You dont have to drive to the gym to get a good workout. There are stairs outside that you can run up and down. Or you can do step ups on small walls or benches. How about modified pull-ups by using a handrail that is waist high. You can incorporate stairs, step, and pull ups in your workout and begin to master the movements. Remember that is you are just starting your work out routine, stick with the low intensity option, then after some time, you can ramp up your workout intensity.
Maybe you try to start working out, and in the past after 2 weeks, you find your interest waning. Maybe you wonder how long it takes before the exercising and working out on home fitness equipment becomes a habit. Experts in the home exercise equipment space advise people that it takes about a month of regular exercise before it becomes a routine. Imagine at that point that all your hard work will become worthwhile. It is all about changing your mind and body to adapt to your new home exercise schedule. It also takes about a month before you start to notice the results, such as weight loss, increased strength, and higher levels of energy.
For you to be successful, you need to slowly transition into your home fitness exercise schedule and workout equipment programs. You can understand that it may be difficult to go from zero to 7 days a week work out routine immediately. Instead you should start with 4 days a week. As you start to see physical changes from your home fitness routines, you can increase your frequency. Another key way to stick to it is to recruit an exercise buddy or attend a fitness class to balance your home workout equipment usage. Both these strategies are supported by research as effective in holding you accountable and motivated.
Finally, you need to keep your mind focused to help you deal with minor setbacks, as well as execute on short term and long term fitness goals.
