A member asked:
What are the risks of using an inversion table and how to use it safely? can it increase height and can it cause conditions like hyperplasia or acromegaly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not consequential: Some enjoy the passive stretch this provides to the core back muscles. Like any health related practice you should have no health issues before you try this as decided by your doc. It will not change your height or trigger any significant complication for people in good health.
