The constant pressure from gravity on our bodies directly effects our spine as the combination of gravity and our weight work together to compress our spine. The compression from gravity compresses the discs in our spine which are basically shock absorbers between our vertebrae. This compression of the discs literally squeezes the fluid out of the discs and into the soft tissue adjacent to the spine. As we lose this fluid, the vertebrae compress tighter and tighter together. At night, when we sleep, our discs regain some of this fluid, but not all of it.

This compression of the discs does not only cause us to get shorter over the years, it is also often the root cause of debilitating chronic back and sciatic nerve pain and can even cause serious injuries such as herniated discs. As the vertebrae compress tighter and tighter, the root nerves are pinched causing back pain.

So just what can a person do to reverse this gradual compression process due to gravity? One thing is to make sure you keep your back and spine strong by regularly doing proper sciatic nerve exercises. The second answer is actually very simple and basic and has been used as a sciatic nerve treatment for over 2,000 years. This method of reversing the effects of gravity on our spine is to actually let the gravity work for you instead of against you and the only way to do that is to hang upside down. Although the ides of hanging upside down goes against what we feel is natural, when done properly using a solid and secure inversion table, we have the perfect solution to reversing the compression of our spine. This spinal decompression therapy is known as inversion therapy and can be the answer to your quest for sciatic nerve pain relief.
