Teeter Inversion Tables for Back Pain: Testimonials

I wanted to use this post to include some testimonials sent to the Healthy Back Institute by individuals who have used a Teeter inversion table for back pain. 

Hopefully these reviews can help you decide whether inversion table is right for treating your back pain.

"I am a diagnostic radiologist who abused his back through sports, hard work and horses for years. About seven years ago, I began to experience back and left leg pain that progressed rapidly. An MRI revealed a lot of degenerative changes in my lumbar spine with two intervertebral discs that were herniated and for all practical purposes 'worn out.' Five years ago I began to experience numbness in some of my left toes with sciatica in the left hip and leg, which progressed to constant pain, loss of feeling and then loss of motor function in my left toes. 

A friend who is a sales rep for radiographic equipment, whom I have known for 15 years, told me he had become pain free in about two months using an inversion table. I ordered one that day. In one week of use, twice to three times per day, the numbness in my toes improved 100%. During the second week, I slept my first pain free night in five years."

"In May, I herniated the L5-S1 disc. My doctor recommended drugs and pain management, but the meds made me sick and I had a several week wait to go to pain management. The pain was intolerable, and I was having a hard time being pleasant at work. Home was a whole other story! I was telling a neighbor about it, and she suggested I come to her house and try her Teeter inversion table. The first time I tried it, the pain down my leg almost completely disappeared.

I borrowed her table and as long as I use it, I feel good. I have gotten better and better. I take Aleve when I do have pain, cancelled pain management and am my sweet old self at home and work. Since I couldn't keep my neighbor's table forever, I have purchased my own and have a couple of friends anxious to try it. I am sooooo happy. I am 60 years old and never expected to feel this well again."
- J. Grieder, The Villages, FL

Inversion Table Alternative for Back Pain: The Nubax Trio

The Nubax Trio is a safe alternative to using an inversion table for back pain.  This device can offer most of the benefits of spinal decompression of the traditional inversion table without having to suspend yourself in any inverted position.

This device was recently developed in Australia, and a recent study shows promise in relieving back pain.  The Nubax Trio offers spinal decompression targeted in the lower back, the SI joint, the lumbar and the thoracic areas. 

Since it tends to target the lower back area, it may not be as effective in relieving neck pain as would the traditional inversion table.

Another type of inversion table for back pain includes the line of inversion tables created by the Teeter company.  The Teeter inversion tables are pretty popular and are known for their sturdy and durable construction, providing good solid support during inversion therapy for back pain.
