Curvature of The Spine: Scoliosis, Kyphosis and Lordosis
Our spines can curve excessively or abnormally in several ways: Kyphosis refers to excessive front to back curvature of the upper (thoracic) spine, lordosis refers to excessive front to back curvature of the lower lumber spine scoliosis refers to an abnormal side to side curvature of the spine.
There are many potential causes for abnormal curvature of spine and it is always wise to check the cause of your curvature with a medical professional. Commonly it can be due to poor posture, muscle spasm, disk degeneration, injury, etc that often benefits from inversion therapy.
How Does Inversion Help?
Inverting encourages the back into its natural curve, gently stretching and relaxing tight muscles, and decompressing disks.
Can inversion help children with scoliosis? Does age matter?
Our medical advisor prefers to get patients involved with inversion as early as possible. Using inversion to help slow or reverse the effects of scoliosis is helpful at any age, but especially before the bones fully harden at ages 12-14. The size of the equipment may be an issue, so younger children will need an attendant.
There are many causes of scoliosis. Some causes may be problematic for inversion (bone infection, cancer, compression fracture). Most scoliosis in children is related to bone anomalies or calcification disorders, both of which do well with inversion. Of course, if you have any doubt, you should always consult with a licensed physician.

I'm 47 and have had MS for 25 years. Since I was 30 my back has given me pain intermittently, which was put down to age and having MS. At 40 my hips began "twanging" painfully whilst walking... I had X-rays taken which revealed curvature of the spine; osteoarthritis in hips and spine; and displaced discs.
Quite by chance I was watching the television when you demonstrated the table. As I knew stretching the spine is beneficial, I thought I would give it a try, and thank goodness I did. The first few sessions I didn't fully invert but there was a vast improvement in the pain, and next time I took my dogs for a walk, I was upright for the first time in ages. After the full inversion, daily for a few weeks, my back was totally cured (my view). I would estimate that most joints, shoulder, neck, knees and spine have improved 100% and my hips 70%.
I tell everyone about the table. The INVERSION TABLE is the best purchase I ever made, and such an improvement to my life cannot be measured in financial terms, it is priceless. I am so enamored of your product I would like you to use all or part of this letter to promote the wonderful inversion table. Thanks for giving me my life back. Joanne Hall, Theddlethorpe, UK

Hi, The pediatrician who had sent our daughter to the Scottish Rite hospital becasue she had a bit of a curvature in her spine, saw her for his referral last week. He was amazed at how straight her back was and asked her how she did it. She said that when she started using the inversion table, that in just a few months her shoulders were level and she had no more trouble will ill-fitting clothes due to one shoulder lower than the other - great, huh!?

“My wife suffered from severe sciatica for four months… Finally I purchased your inversion table. In less than one week she was sleeping again and the pain had diminished considerably. Purchasing your inversion table was the best thing we ever did.”
- J. Luper
I have lower back pain and sciatica. The honest truth is before I ever inverted… I would have to crawl out of the bed in the morning. The pain was so bad. As long as I invert, there is no signs of pain-
