Teeter Inversion Table
Using the natural forces of gravity with a Teeter inversion table is a terrific method for reversing the daily strain placed on key areas of the body - namely the spine, vertebrae and spinal discs. Inversion therapy is not a new technique for treating pain, especially chronic back pain, but it has only come into wider acceptance in Western society over the past few decades. Over the years, many companies have begun producing inversion tables and other inversion therapy related equipment. Since the mid-1980's, Teeter has been one of the premier manufacturers of high quality inversion equipment. Teeter is on the leading edge in regard to inversion therapy innovation, and you'll likely find a Teeter inversion table is one of your chiropractors favored pain relief tools.
Inversion therapy is a technique for naturally decompressing the spine to temporarily reduce back pain and treat the sources of pain within the body, but technique in this sense is useless without a trustworthy piece of equipment designed for long-term use. Teeter inversion tables have stood up to their reputation during several engineering tests for structural integrity as well as functionality.
Teeter manufactures a variety of inversion tables with an even wider set of features tailored to individual requirements, but on average Teeter brand tables stand up to significantly heavier loads than competitors. Standard medical equipment is required by safety regulations to be able to withstand at least four times the weight at which the equipment is rated. Teeter surpasses this standard by 20% with its average table being able to withstand loads of over 1400 pounds.
Any piece of equipment will eventually fail, and inversion equipment is especially placed under some considerable stresses. During extensive testing of Teeter equipment versus competitor brands, the Teeter inversion table won on every endurance test, continuing to operate when other companies' inversion tables failed. A greater portion of Teeter's tested durability is attributed to the fact that inversion tables from Teeter generally come with far fewer parts than inversion equipment of equivalent type and design. Fewer parts equals less chance for structural failure and lends the additional benefit of a much easier assembly process. And just in case your Teeter inversion table should fail, Teeter equipment is backed by a five year covering structural and soft components.
Teeter has been in the inversion therapy equipment market nearly three decades, and they never cease in their commitment to quality and improvement of their products. I know for a fact that using a high quality Teeter inversion table is one of the most efficient means for treating the sources of chronic back pain in conjunction with a regular traction and physical therapy regimen.
