has any heard of inversion therapy?

Question

i heard it on the view the other day when they were talking about depression then rosie did a demostration . has anyone else heard of this

Answer 1

I didn't see the show you refer to, so I'm not certain if I'm talking about the same thing.... I know of inversion tables or boots with which a person can be suspended upside down, or nearly so. It is supposed to take the pressure off your discs between vertebrae and lessen back pain. I know it can help you feel better if you have very bad back problems. As far as depression, or any other sorts of ills, I somehow doubt it. Sounds like the "newest rage" that will "cure all". Also, I wouldn't listen to a THING Rosie O'Donnell says. She's too much of a windbag.

Answer 2

"Inversion therapy for back pain is an old idea that waxes and wanes in popularity. Now it seems to be waxing: the Internet offers a variety of tables (at $200 and up), chairs, boots, and other devices to facilitate hanging upside down. But there is little evidence that inversion therapy produces any benefit for back pain, except perhaps a temporary one. This is a form of traction—a method that's largely been discarded for treating back pain.


Inversion devices, according to Dr. Gary Brazina, an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist in Los Angeles, don't actually reverse the effects of gravity or increase the space between vertebrae, though they may temporarily extend the spine and briefly relieve muscle spasm. Potential side effects from hanging upside down include bleeding into the retina and headaches. It can also make some back problems, as well as hypertension, worse.


If you have back pain, consult a professional skilled in back care. Ask about treatments and exercises for your back. Inversion therapy is unlikely to help and may be harmful. Be skeptical of the wild claims made on websites selling inversion devices.


Bottom line: Don't try inversion therapy, especially not if you have heart disease, hypertension, glaucoma or other eye diseases, or are pregnant. If you do decide to try it, at least make sure there's someone around in case you need help."

Answer 3

I've heard of both immersion therapy and aversion therapy, neither of which should be demonstrated by Rosie on The View. Seek the advice of a professional counselor if you're interested.

Answer 4

I saw her do that too. I had never heard of it as a therapy for depression. I wonder what the principle behind it is. It doesn't make sense to me.

I had severe chronic back trouble for years and during that time I bought what was called an Orothopod which was a device by which you hung upside down from your knees. Your thighs and legs were cushioned and it felt kind of good. It does feel like you are giving your body a stretch. However, I could never see that it did me any good at all for my back pain. My chiropractor has one that he charges people to use. I think apart from making me feel like it stretched me out and that felt good, apart from that it didn't help me.
