Has Anyone Bought an Inversion Table?

[Lewdog]

My neurosurgeon today recommended I try using an inversion table for healing degenerative discs in my lower back. Has anyone here tried one? Bought one they would recommend?

I see one on Amazon with 4.5 stars that is only $139 and free shipping with my Amazon Prime membership. The one that the guy sells on tv all the time that has the pressure points on it is over $300!

I've been using a Teeter Board (the one on TV) for over 10 years when my back started bothering during long runs. I highly recommend them. My best friend who loves to golf thought he may have to give up the sport. I begged him to try the Teeter Board so he got one. He's been using it for 2 years and plays at least 3 times a week and is driving the ball longer than he ever has. My back has not gone out on me since I got it 10 years ago.

Don't get a cheap one your back is worth the high quality one. The cheap ones feel rickety especially if you are a big guy (don't know if you are or not, just FYI). Anyway good luck with your back.

why not some form of exercise to stimulate your body to heal?

Pilates or yoga are examples. You could get into something specific that you can always use.

Those are things to go along with the inversion table. The inversion table helps use the gravity of hanging upside down to pull your vertebrae apart so that the damaged discs can start to get blood flow into them again.

Oh I fully agree that yoga is great and would be a great complement to inversion. What yoga won't do is decompress your spinal column which is what inversion does.

Maybe that's why sloths like to hang by their toes from trees.

My sciatica occasionally flares up. A few months ago it did, I went on Craigslist and found several for sale. I ended up paying around $60 bucks for a perfectly good one. I used a few minutes a day and the results were great. I use it occasionally and think for the price it is a great purchase.

Good point! Have you ever seen a sloth hunched over using a walker? Well there you go.

When I got mine that was about the new price, they've gone up a lot since then. $319 for a new refurbished model is a really good price.

some forward bends can do something similar; anywhere you are at.

It's not going to be the same. There are times where I've 'thrown my back out' by just bending over to dry my feet when I get out of the shower. My issues are in the lumbar region of L4-L5 & L5-S1.

yes; an inversion table may be quite helpful in that situation.

Yep before I got the Teeter board all I would have to do is a little bend and twist the wrong way and I would feel it stab in my lower back. Then I'd be doing a stiff shuffle walk for a week.

I got one from an ex-gf way back when, but I no longer use it. The concept is great, to decompress the back, but in my experience it introduces stretching on the knees and ankles may not be desirable. If it could secure the hips, that would solve that issue. I would suggest getting a pullup bar of some kind to help decompress that way. Also a BOSU balance trainer (the one with the flat bottom) is amazingly useful for exercise such as situps. Just leaning back on it in the situp style position can get the back to loosen up and even do a crack here and there.

I just do Yoga ...

 

[Marion Morrison]

I got one and used used it twice.

Don't have anything in your pockets, it's like that spinny car ride at the carnival.

Found out today that my insurance company will cover getting one of these. All I need to do is get my doctor to write a prescription, which he already said he'd do, and then find a medical equipment company that takes my insurance that sells them. That's pretty cool and unexpected.

I saw on TV that the Teeter got certified as an FDA medical device. What a deal!

 

[Unkotare]

I had one of those once, but my dinner kept falling on the floor.

Probably why the price rose drastically.
