Traction of the spine causes the lengthening of the muscles and ligaments near the spine, which can reduce muscle spasm. It is this process of "traction" that has helped many users to find short-term relief for back pain.
Traction is purported to help restore fluid to load-bearing joints and disks. This can improve posture and flexibility resulting in relief from back pain, even if relief may only be short-term.
Some users have found inversion tables to help reduce back pain, most likely because it can relieve disc compression and muscle spasms.
Other accounts of users include experiencing an increase in mood apparently from the increase in blood flow and oxygen to the brain.
