Inversion Therapy for Vein Issues?

Inversion therapy, putting your body into a position where your head is lower than your heart, has been around since the time of Hippocrates in 400 BC. At that time patients were hung upside down from ladder rungs as it was labeled to be in the best interest of their health. These inverted positions are said to reverse the effects of gravity.

Modern inversion therapy is not all that different despite the more updated apparatuses such as gravity boots, inversion tables inversion chairs and hammock suspensions.

Inversion therapy has been touted to help with a wide array of ailments including:

1. Back Pain
2. Sciatic Nerve Issues
3. Fibromyalgia
4. Headaches
5. Sinus pressure
6. Improved heart function
7. Helps alleviate varicose veins
8. Boosts immune system
9. Improves posture and flexibility
10. Better sleep
11. Strengthens ligaments
12. Reduces stress
13. Reduces signs of aging
14. Strengthening bones
15. Helps to maintain height as we age
16. Improves circulation and can help with varicose veins

How long should you invert?

Start out with just 1 to 2 minutes when you are beginning. As you get more comfortable you can extend the time. The idea is to hang or invert letting your muscles relax and release.

How does inverting help varicose veins?

While not a replacement for medical treatment, inversion can help your heart to clear the blood from your feet, legs and lower body. This allows for easier circulation which can assist in draining the blood from varicose veins where it may be otherwise pooling.

Along with the recommendations of compression socks and elevation of the legs inversion can become a great part of a home treatment plan.  To get the best medical advice and form a customized treatment plan for your vein issues please go to EVeinScreening.com for a FREE vein evaluation!
