This results in increased blood flow to these sensitive tissue. Drawing more blood and nourishment to the joints can help in the regeneration of damaged tissue, particularly the spinal discs. The elongation and proper alignment of the spine enhances blood-nourishment flow to the spinal discs, which may prevent the degeneration commonly manifested as chronic backache and spinal disc and nerve damage. Spinal traction is often used as a rehabilitating measure with remarkable success even in cases of extensive disc deterioration. Standing and sitting has an adverse effect in venous blood flow from the lower extremities back to the heart.
Gravity causes blood stasis in the legs and abdominal region.
As a result, venous blood is incompletely evacuated from these areas and our overall perfusion is diminished. Inversion remedies this situation by reversing the effect of gravity, using gravity to aid in the removal of venous blood from the legs and abdominal organs. The venous blood is able to recirculate because its return to the heart is more rapid. There is a surge of vitality throughout the entire body. The stimulation caused by enhanced circulation is nowhere more profoundly felt than in the brain.
