Re: Eye Problems...

As with any therapy, you will find positive and negative opinions. I did read about eye pressure caused from Inversion, but I think we just have to go slow if we feel pressure. Like lesser angle. we always must remember that we must invert only as long as we are having fun. Stop the inversion, if there is any pain, dizziness, headaches etc. The "no pain no gain" statement does not apply when inverting.

Although I totally respect my chiropractor for fixing my back, he said he was against inversion. Then I read, how chiros are scared that if ppl start buying Inversion tables, they will loose their customers. here is what I read...

"The chiropractic profession is often associated with medical alternatives. However, it has been our experience that although there are a small percentage of chiropractors that have been using inversion therapy for decades to help their patients, the chiropractic industry and chiropractic colleges have willfully and intentionally ignored this extraordinary therapy for more than 40 years because it was perceived as a threat to their practices. Dr. Robert Martin a chiropractor himself was heavily promoting inversion therapy in the 1970's. Instead of viewing it as a benefit to their patients the chiropractic industry viewed it as a threat to their incomes. Now that they have the DRX 9000 and other decompression machines where they can charge a lot for the therapy they are promoting Decompression Therapy as one of the greatest therapies ever developed. Well, what do they think inversion therapy does? And we know the chiropractic colleges knew about inversion therapy going back at least to 1980 when our company demonstrated it to some of the major colleges. Yet we know that even to this day most chiropractic colleges will not even mention it to their students. Up until the late 1970's or so traction was still very common in medical hospitals. Then everything changed and drugs and surgery became the rage and the medical profession who had been using weighted decompressions therapy commonly for hundreds or even thousands of years all but forgot that simple traction is often the best therapy for compressed disc problems."
