The Teeter has a 5 year warranty they shipped mine FedEx. Came in perfect condition, this thing fixed my back and neck pain that I have had for years.
I got the EP-650 from there website no tax no shipping.
Dude what the hell did you do for ups I am a upser and you are scarin me . I have done it all from unload to loading to driving now I am a part time sup in the a.m. I love the fast pace and I have been getting in shape but my lower back hurts am looking into getting an invert table does it help after awhile or is something you have to do everyday? Thanx
when u say that your inversion table was broken after 2 weeks, are u talking about the Teeter inversion table or some other brand? Thanks for answering this question.
Sorry you had a bad experience witht he table CD. You said you have DDD?? Its not as debilitating as many believe and its not a disease.(Its just plain old arthiritis)We ALL experience DDD some time in life, its the effect of gravity on us over the years. The trick is to eat right, stretch and excercise your muscles. Im sure the inversion will help many as long as they are careful. I found out I had DDD at 39. My doctor said it was mild and normal for my age and not worry but to keep in shape
hi there i was watching your video and i must say something to share my experience. i have a bad back as well and i went under magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) and i was found to have a bulging and pertruding disk on L1 and L2. for people that dont know this is the area just under the center of the back. i got the teeter hang ups boot straps and i also went to full inversion and had success. do not do full invert if pain is to strong during full invert tho,...use caution people and good luck!
Go see Dr. Schiffer in Fremont CA. He'll clean up that L5--S1 in no time and you'll walk out of the office with a bandaid (or two) on your lower back.
I am sorry to say but you may have reached the point of no return with your back injury. But you will never know until you have reached an ideal weight, instituted an excellent and well balanced diet and exercising every day - even if just walking.
Then when you are at your ideal weight and are somewhat fit, try the table again for very short periods of time, 3 mins 2X a day and see if the inversion will slowly help your back.
thanks! tried it for my husband, Went totally upsidedown. different brand, but I will be buying this thing tomorrow!! Thanks!! Your video sealed the deal!
These things are great. I've got one, not the Teeter there's a lot of different ones, and love it. My advice is just get on it and fix the problem. I had a terrible shoulder problem not to mention some back pain and it works like a charm.
I have a similar problem as it's my L5 and L3 that are most damage, the sciatica I have from this injury is insane, so I bought an inversion table and like you said when upside down it feels great but as soon as I am upright again all the pain comes rushing back to my left leg. I think the table may be good for preventive care but if someone already has serious problems they may not benefit from it or even make their problem worse. Thanks for the upload, it was very informative.
Glad to know it helped you! Did you add the text comments on the video? I know I checked a you tube video for a lovely little girl singer we love and someone had added annoying text comments. Did someone else add the text saying that you returned the table because it stopped working after about a month or so, or did you add itt? The table has worked very good for my husband and myself, but we just want to know for sure.
Thanks for sharing your input and good luck to you!
CD - given the nature of your injury you should definitely not have gone immediately into hanging entirely upside down. It may have really helped you had you started out very carefully, say at 20 degrees, and then increased slowly, say 5 degrees each week to a MAXIMUM of 45 degrees. According to my chiropractor there is nothing more to be gained in pain reduction / traction / healing going beyond 45 degrees anyway, only increased risk. Those of us with injuries shouldn't even consider 90 deg.
Reading The Mind Body Prescription or Healing Back Pain by Dr. John Sarno will cure your back problem or a host of other ailments the mind creates to "help us" this is a must read for anyone who is experiencing pain and acknowleding this information will alieve years of debilitating pain These books and philosophy by Dr. John Sarno as well as Monte Hueffle are lifesavers . Check em out everyone Im sure you will agree.
Thank you for sharing this... I have a question though-- how do you get over all of that blood rushing to your head? I get dizzy very easy... just wondering. Thank you!
Give the guy a break. He aint tellin yinz to go do it. It worked for him. And hell, my bottom four has like no juice left in em. And any relief I get on my back is a God send. I want one bad. However, he didn't say how long he hung for. I ve heard you can go straight upside down, just for super short periods of time and work ur way up. Hell, its gotta be better than being super compressed all the time.
Don't ever do what this fool did. Go fully inverted first time , good way to screw your self up worse. rest level let the muscles relax before you you come fully baclk on your feet. . You can also rock from short of level to a bit of a incline it works like the DTS ,,strech , release ,strech release. /anyone who has a screwed upo abck and jumps on one of these and goes full invert first time gotta have a hole in their gene pool Sorry dude ,it's no an advisable.move.
I am a Straight talking No messing Sort of Guy and I have to Say that This Fat Lad Should Not be hanging From his Ankles until he has Lost at Least Five stone!
I am Not Being cruel But Trying to Sort the Chubby Fellow Out It might Be Safer to Spend Some Time In the Sauna and Decreasing his Intake Of Pies and Cakes by at Least Fifty Per cent!
I Feel sure this will be more beneficial To His Overweight Carcase than him trying to Stretch His Fat Out in Length!
To the video poster. Your a big guy to be on a teeter. Wouldn't your weight be devastating to your back if your hanging upside down from the git go? Gotta be bad for your knees and hips too.
I've tried inversion tables and found that my pain increased after getting off. I talked with both my Dr. and physical therapist and they said inversion table help with the relief of pain temporarily since it decompresses troubled discs (I have two herniated disks) but the muscles that wrap around and to each vertebrae don't. Once your upright again, the muscles tighten up for a bit, creating more compression. This is also a result while you hang upside down for too long. So, I gave up on it.
I bought one. It feels good to hang but when I go to the upright position my spine compresses back and really hurts.
I would think if I would go inverted then back to level and stay at that position to heal. But I guess if there is no more cartliage left between the disc,I have no hope for recovery.
The worst thing is when you have to fart while inverted. It takes a lot of effort to force the gas up instead of down. My advice it to first uninvert yourself.
That is a Great Point DowntownCanon I Just Got Myself Unstrapped From The Table and I was Pulling My Pants Down as I made My Way to The Bathroom and I Hadn't sat Down Before It Came out of My Rear with The Speed of an Exocet Missile!!
These are The Things They fail To Mention In The advertisement!
LOL that was the fear the mass media instilled in the people back in the 1980's don't believe them, they want you to pay them for their counsel instead of relieving your back. Do what your intuitions guide you to do and you will find the truth instead of the lies some of these doctors profess.
the way you relax your ankles and legs has extreme effect of whether the inversion will be successful, make sure your ankles and feet are very comfortable (eg: slightly bent knees) before going inverted, any tension or pain while going inverted will cause certain muscles to tense up and cause additional misalignment and discomfort.
I also bought one of these tables as a last resort to surgery. I have the exact same disc problem as you, only mine is completely ruptured. I got on the table everyday for two week, between 3 and 5 minutes. My back pain has completely gone away. If you have back pain, try this before surgery, it is worth the time, effort and money opposed to the cost many, many doctor bills....
The company "Ironman" sells one on Amazon for $150. The build quality is quite good and it works just as well. Don't need to spend $250-400 on the Teeter.
So I guess what I wanna ask it.. when you felt that the table was working for you, did you ever for even a second feel that the pulling made your pain worse? Thanks a lot and I really appreciate the review.
Hi. I got lower back pain and I was thinking about getting an inversion table. So to get a sense if it would work, I tried stretching my spine by hanging my back loose by supporting my self only with my arms (very very similar to hanging down from a chin-up bar with your feet not touching the ground). I can hear my spine cracking, but my lower back actually hurts more as I feel my lower back tendon being stretched/pulled. So I'm very hesitant. I wish I could find a store where I can try it out.
Thanks for the info! I was thinking about getting an inversion table for my evil back, but I think I'll try one out first. Heading out to see my doc this morning for my back, we'll see what he says.
yes I have an inversion table too and it works!! My brand of table is a LIFEGEAR and I bought it second hand for 125$ Canadian. Only complaint is it make my eyes feel like they are going to explode.
HAHA!! i used to work for UPS Freight, and other freight companies, trust me, the guys on the dock just don't give a crap!! can't blame them, contrary to popular UPS belief, they don't get paid enough to give a crap.. anyway, thanks for sharing your experiences, just bought one today for my wife for her hip ( arthritis ) hope it helps!
You are right! I applied there in the 90's, and was going to start out as a "Thrower." As soon as I saw them doing the job, I knew why they called it that. Every person was just throwing packages from the back of the truck onto the conveyor. I turned it down. Now I am in Sales and I am so glad...
@prdgyair It's not they aren't paid enough it's that they really don't give a crap. Believe me I have had yrs of exp with these guys as I work in production and had to deal with shipping.
By the way, if the table started causing you pain it might be you were using it too frequently. It shouldn't be used more than a couple of minutes and it's fine to skip days.
It would also be wise for you to study up on Feldenkrais method as this too has helped my back very much.
I have the same exact problem in pretty much the same area...except I also have pinched and damaged nerves as a result...I'm curious on how the teeter table would work for me.
nope. it seemed 2 get worse the mor i used it. i stopped using it and things felt a bit betr but no wer near wer they shud b...still in pretty severe pain evryday.
Sounds like it worked and then did not as you know you cegin to get desparate after a while. I'm there! It looks like it worked for some better than others. I know you late written post says the pain became insane again, sorry. Have you ever tried it again?
I have had three spine surgeries and have been told that at some point, I will have to have two more. I have rods and screws in my lower back, L into S. Further, have had two neck surgeries, C7-C4, with three fusions overall in addition to the rods and a plate in the neck. I have been told that all but one of my disks are bad.
However, when I started having discomfort in my hips, decided to give Teeter a try since I did not want to think about hip surgeries as well.
I'm an inverstion table user, and I love mine; yep, had to do the full inversion to really get the improved alignment going. I didn't read all comments, and I'm not bringing this up to be mean: You're kind of a big guy (I used to be about 50 lbs heavier) have you tried cutting some weight and THEN trying this regimen?
I have always had large muscles but yes, I actually lost weight prior to using and I was in excellent shape when my injury happened, which was the catapult for all my other conditions. I was a lot lighter when I 1st tried using it. I weigh more now than ever before as a direct result of inability to be active, coupled with crappy ,easy to make food. If I could cut weight now, I'd be exercising/working/all the stuff I can't do. Other than eating apples and oranges all day wich i might need 2 do.
cd, I had surgery about 4 years ago for a herniated disc. (L5-S1). Things were going great, but I reinjured last week. I have a 5mm herniation pinching my S1 nerve again. I'm going to start rehab next week, but have been thinking about an inversion table. Now I'm not sure. It's a big investment for something that may or may not work. *sigh* If rehab doesn't work, I'll have to see my surgeon and consider another surgery. Maybe fusion.
id try the table 1st. i have advanced degenerative disc disease which is different than wut u hav. u may b in luck. if it dusnt start helping after a month or so, id possibly sell the table and consider other options.. wut was the surg, wut did they do? fusion? disc replacement? i also hav (and never had) any leg pain.
Have you tried the Sacro Wedgy? I have degenerative disk disease also. A PT friend of mine loaned me one to use. I just bought one today on Amazon for $33.
I use it 20-30 minutes twice a day. In only 2 weeks it has made a big difference. (I can now walk for short distances with no pain.) I am getting an inversion table next week.
jcole11: Have you possibly seen or considered a chiropractor? As a current student at Palmer we are informed that an adjustment may be made to the segments above and below a herniation/fusion. My understanding is that increasing your core strength is likely only to help. I have a spondylo involving L5 slipping forward off of S1 and the advice I was given was to increase core strength and given exercises that may reduce the amount of slip. If you haven't done so already, try calling. Great video!
Thanks for the advice. I have very gud reason 2 b leev the chiro I was seeing broke a vert in my bak. L% facet. he twisted me so hard it drew tears! he was also treating me 4 an injury that he hadnt seen an mri for, malpractice. my core strength rivaled that of professional athletes at the time it all happened. tho i dont no wut may make my discs "regenerate" with the soft tissue they need. lak of spinal cuvature, ddd, stenosis and broken vert...pretty mesd up LOL
LOL wow! I'm sorry to hear. As far as regeneration goes unfortunately there isn't much you can do. Although the disc problem may or may not be evident in x-ray, the ddd certainly would and it should've been looked at further. It would be harder for the chiro to damage the body of the vert but it certainly could break other structures (ribs most frequently). I def inform other chiros that I can't be adjusted in side posture because of a spondylo. I'm surprised they even tried that with you!
the moron hadnt seen an mri wen he was doin this shit. i didnt no n e better. i hav had extensive treatment dun 4 the ddd--all kinds of crap that hasnt dun n e thing. stil glad i tried tho. had 2 lern bout sum stuff.
I'm glad you have had a positive experience with an inversion table. One thing that is key (talking from experience, having used mine for two months now, regularly). People with high blood pressure or vertigo / dizziness should start at a slight angle (20 degrees or so), then work their way up after continued sessions. Complete inversion (90 deg) increases blood pressure to the head / brain and stresses the body's circulatory system more. Adjust your angle DOWN if you feel faint, dizzy at 1st
Been a while since I watched this vid. I'm pretty sure I DIDN'T have a positive experience in this video...I'll have to check. If I am right, your ad will be deleted and marked as spam.
You should review YOUR OWN DAMN VIDEO and what you said (glowing endorsements at 1:49 and right towards the end of vid)..before posting this bs follow up comment Tom. Your attitude should be deleted and MARKED AS SPAM
Someone gave you a thumbs down already...interesting. I definitely should have reviewed the video prior to leaving my comment. I did watch it again and I can't remember for the life of me what I did with the follow up video. U are 100% accurate. I fully endorsed the product in this vid. I apologize for being so inaccurate and egregious. I am also going to give you a thumbs up since you were right, regardless of the needless use of profanity.
Like i care if someone disagrees with me disagreeing with your innaccurate follow up comment to my comment. I just thought you posted before you even reviewed the situation, and your comment to mine was uncalled for. I do, however, appreciate you correcting your previous statement though. Thanks. Have a good one.
I wasn't making the statement about the thumbs down to be negative or aggressive in that way it just seemed weird that someone did so quickly after your comment. I'd imagine I'd be getting like 60 views an hour for that to happen and that is certainly not the case.
Also, if one of these tables works for you...lucky you, big time!
All is good. I REALLY hope you are able to find some relief, short of drastic (and dreaded) surgery (if you haven't already)....best of luck and wishes to ya
I actually DID have surgery. The doctor said that he wanted to do a fusion and I asked if there were anything less intrusive, he told me yes. He said that he could shave the bone down a lil. I asked if that would give me back relief, he said yes. I had the surgery and later found out that the operation he gave me was designed to alleviate leg pain, I had leg pain 1 day for 30 seconds a year prior to the surgery. Thanks 4 ur condolences as well.
No. Not for me. Although, I have degenerative disc disease and arthritis/stenosis as well as a broken vertebrae.
My back actually got worse until I stopped using the machine, then I sold it. I don't see how it wouldn't help someone with more minor problems though. I did get relief while completely inverted, but that was too temporary.
LOL. It's all good. I did get relief...for a temporary time. If I could live upside down, I probably would. Just never get back up after that though. OUCH!!
I am only 25 and I have had really annoying lower back pain pretty much my whole life. My friend got one of these and I can't wait to try it out, it sounds like the gravitational force would be really great as I feel that my back is full of pounding pressure.
Life long journey! LOL Just got my massage today....More like torture. But, offers some help! Chrio really helps too. But, i will get a tilt table and use it!
I have scoliosis and a busted tail bone along with NO curve in my neck (probably cause my back is so twisted) I am wondering how many folks are jacked up like me have tried the table?
I bought the one that could support my weight so that might be a concern. Also, I didn't realize how uncomfortable the ankle supports were...thought it was due to my weight but I had 2 females with no weight issues use it and their ankles were killing them as well. So, I recommend getting the gravity boots. It helps alleviate the ankle pains.
I have a twisted pelvis and a bulging disc and I think I have lost about a half an inch in height and am thinking about getting one of these but am not sure which one I should go for, I'm 23
I just purchased a Teeter EP 550 sport from EvolutionHealth because it includes gravity boots. This is way more comfortable on my ankles. I've noticed a huge difference from just a few days of use.
I've had a chronic back condition for the last forty years, which results in pain in one or both legs, plus pain in the small of the back. A few nights ago, I was in misery, and couldn't sleep for the pain I was experiencing. Later the following day I was in a sporting goods store, and they had one of the Teeter inversion tables on display. I bought one, used it that evening, and got total relief. While it may not be the answer for everyone, it's definitely worth looking into.
Totally agree, especially for sciatica!! The way it pulls the vert apart and creates room for the nerves to freely move is amazing. Makes sense to me.
Thanks for the review, ordered mine yesterday from Home Shopping Network. I found a 15% off coupon which saved me $44 and free shipping. Do a google search for HSN coupons, they also have the 5 payment flex pay for those of you that rather make 5 $50 payments without a credit check. I do cubicle work all day, and its taking a toll on my back, posture, and a good nights sleep. So hopefully the teeter will help prevent anymore damage.
Just got mine today.. Easy to control and use. Fear quickly faded after a couple tilts.
I have pain for 2 years, L5-S1. Cant carry anything up stairs, barely myself. Finally PT didnt work after 10 weeks. Trying this. Shot worked some 2 weeds ago.
I will try to evaluate the inversion bed on its own merits. First tilt seemed to help, definately elimated the pain during tilt. Hopefully it will help re-hydrate my disks and give my nerves some space.
I got no relief unless completely upside down locked. Although, it started killing me shortly after...I don't get it. Seems like a no brainer to me...frustrating!!
i've just brought mine today off ebay, i have a torn disc and a shallow disc l4/l5 and constant pain for four years unable to sit for long or stand still but got worse where couldn't walk for no more than 20 nminutes without having to lie down on back to relieve pressure, was gonna try steriod injection to numb my lower back then physio sent for me and suggested pilates and within 2 days the pain had gone
I heard in order to strap your feet in on these tables, you've got to bend over. Is this true? Bending is quite painful and scary for me (as it must be for many with lower back pain) so it would be nice if I didn't have to bend over to use this.
my back has been hurting so much for about 3 days tried every thing heat pads cold hot pills all that bull and my body said come try this and you won't be sorry dude i did 2 session maybe 3 mins each and bam i left thier relieved still a little pain but i'm getting one it's like magic i can't believe this products a real winner
I have 2 bulging disk and a bone spur. I went thru spinal decompression thru my chiro, and it helped lengthen my spine and relieve about 90% of my sciatica pain. Now I use an inversion table daily just for the sake of keeping all of my hips, upper, and lower back stretched, and it truly has made an difference.
I got mine a month ago out of the trading post for 100 dollars used. It is a teeter F6000/7000 . Absolutly love it and my back pain is history. Best money spent this year.Good luck with your back recovery. I hang out everyday for at least 10 mins.
Thanks for the video, I've been debating on whether or not to purchase one of these and this video sold me. Good luck with your back and to everyone else's. Later.
I have tried both along with alphabiotics and it helped my muscles but my muscles weren't the problem. My muscles are still incredibly strong. The bone on bone pain is the horrible thing.
cd, i have the same back issue, degenerative disc and a bulged disc in the same area. keep on trying the nversion when you have pain, but also do some back exercises to strengthen your back. the stronger your back AND abs = your core, the more stable you'll be, with less pain and you'll be able to be more active.
Does your every day life feel better all the time or just when you hang up?

@kennedy7955 Man I never thought about that *l* I was worried I waisted $600 after reading about cdukshn1st issue after a months.
I only invert for 5min a day in the morning and before bed and do the stretches the dvd showed when i have the table set at a 60 degree.
I wanted to try my T.E.N.S unit when i invert but dont know if its a good idea.

You can also rock from short of level to a bit of a incline it works like the DTS ,,strech , release ,strech release. /anyone who has a screwed upo abck and jumps on one of these and goes full invert first time gotta have a hole in their gene pool Sorry dude ,it's no an advisable.move.

I am a Straight talking No messing Sort of Guy and I have to Say that This Fat Lad Should Not be hanging From his Ankles until he has Lost at Least Five stone!
I am Not Being cruel But Trying to Sort the Chubby Fellow Out It might Be Safer to Spend Some Time In the Sauna and Decreasing his Intake Of Pies and Cakes by at Least Fifty Per cent!
I Feel sure this will be more beneficial To His Overweight Carcase than him trying to Stretch His Fat Out in Length!

To the video poster. Your a big guy to be on a teeter. Wouldn't your weight be devastating to your back if your hanging upside down from the git go? Gotta be bad for your knees and hips too.

I've tried inversion tables and found that my pain increased after getting off. I talked with both my Dr. and physical therapist and they said inversion table help with the relief of pain temporarily since it decompresses troubled discs (I have two herniated disks) but the muscles that wrap around and to each vertebrae don't. Once your upright again, the muscles tighten up for a bit, creating more compression. This is also a result while you hang upside down for too long. So, I gave up on it.
dedmonwakin 2 years ago
I bought one. It feels good to hang but when I go to the upright position my spine compresses back and really hurts.
I would think if I would go inverted then back to level and stay at that position to heal. But I guess if there is no more cartliage left between the disc,I have no hope for recovery.
Lay off. No job,no insurance plenty pain.

The worst thing is when you have to fart while inverted. It takes a lot of effort to force the gas up instead of down. My advice it to first uninvert yourself.

Hello EasternMerchant I Have read your Information given On Inversion tables and I Can see You are a Balanced Person!
It is Good to meet You!
Keep On Doing what You are Doing Friend!
Fryersmuck 2 years ago
the way you relax your ankles and legs has extreme effect of whether the inversion will be successful, make sure your ankles and feet are very comfortable (eg: slightly bent knees) before going inverted, any tension or pain while going inverted will cause certain muscles to tense up and cause additional misalignment and discomfort.

I also bought one of these tables as a last resort to surgery. I have the exact same disc problem as you, only mine is completely ruptured. I got on the table everyday for two week, between 3 and 5 minutes. My back pain has completely gone away. If you have back pain, try this before surgery, it is worth the time, effort and money opposed to the cost many, many doctor bills....

Inversion has never made the pain worse for me.
JTMarlin8 2 years ago
Hi. I got lower back pain and I was thinking about getting an inversion table. So to get a sense if it would work, I tried stretching my spine by hanging my back loose by supporting my self only with my arms (very very similar to hanging down from a chin-up bar with your feet not touching the ground). I can hear my spine cracking, but my lower back actually hurts more as I feel my lower back tendon being stretched/pulled. So I'm very hesitant. I wish I could find a store where I can try it out.

Hanging from a pull up bar feels completely different. I don't know why, but I've got both in the same room.

By the way, if the table started causing you pain it might be you were using it too frequently. It shouldn't be used more than a couple of minutes and it's fine to skip days.
It would also be wise for you to study up on Feldenkrais method as this too has helped my back very much.
Good luck to you

I have had three spine surgeries and have been told that at some point, I will have to have two more. I have rods and screws in my lower back, L into S. Further, have had two neck surgeries, C7-C4, with three fusions overall in addition to the rods and a plate in the neck. I have been told that all but one of my disks are bad.
However, when I started having discomfort in my hips, decided to give Teeter a try since I did not want to think about hip surgeries as well.
Teeter did the job.

I'm an inverstion table user, and I love mine; yep, had to do the full inversion to really get the improved alignment going. I didn't read all comments, and I'm not bringing this up to be mean: You're kind of a big guy (I used to be about 50 lbs heavier) have you tried cutting some weight and THEN trying this regimen?
erandbro70 3 years ago
I have always had large muscles but yes, I actually lost weight prior to using and I was in excellent shape when my injury happened, which was the catapult for all my other conditions. I was a lot lighter when I 1st tried using it. I weigh more now than ever before as a direct result of inability to be active, coupled with crappy ,easy to make food. If I could cut weight now, I'd be exercising/working/all the stuff I can't do. Other than eating apples and oranges all day wich i might need 2 do.
cdukshn1st 3 years ago
cd, I had surgery about 4 years ago for a herniated disc. (L5-S1). Things were going great, but I reinjured last week. I have a 5mm herniation pinching my S1 nerve again. I'm going to start rehab next week, but have been thinking about an inversion table. Now I'm not sure. It's a big investment for something that may or may not work. *sigh* If rehab doesn't work, I'll have to see my surgeon and consider another surgery. Maybe fusion.

id try the table 1st. i have advanced degenerative disc disease which is different than wut u hav. u may b in luck. if it dusnt start helping after a month or so, id possibly sell the table and consider other options.. wut was the surg, wut did they do? fusion? disc replacement? i also hav (and never had) any leg pain.
cdukshn1st 3 years ago
Have you tried the Sacro Wedgy? I have degenerative disk disease also. A PT friend of mine loaned me one to use. I just bought one today on Amazon for $33.
I use it 20-30 minutes twice a day. In only 2 weeks it has made a big difference. (I can now walk for short distances with no pain.) I am getting an inversion table next week.
Have you tried riding a bicycle for exercise.

Ron6093 2 years ago
jcole11: Have you possibly seen or considered a chiropractor? As a current student at Palmer we are informed that an adjustment may be made to the segments above and below a herniation/fusion. My understanding is that increasing your core strength is likely only to help. I have a spondylo involving L5 slipping forward off of S1 and the advice I was given was to increase core strength and given exercises that may reduce the amount of slip. If you haven't done so already, try calling. Great video!

Thanks for the advice. I have very gud reason 2 b leev the chiro I was seeing broke a vert in my bak. L% facet. he twisted me so hard it drew tears! he was also treating me 4 an injury that he hadnt seen an mri for, malpractice. my core strength rivaled that of professional athletes at the time it all happened. tho i dont no wut may make my discs "regenerate" with the soft tissue they need. lak of spinal cuvature, ddd, stenosis and broken vert...pretty mesd up LOL
cdukshn1st 3 years ago
LOL wow! I'm sorry to hear. As far as regeneration goes unfortunately there isn't much you can do. Although the disc problem may or may not be evident in x-ray, the ddd certainly would and it should've been looked at further. It would be harder for the chiro to damage the body of the vert but it certainly could break other structures (ribs most frequently). I def inform other chiros that I can't be adjusted in side posture because of a spondylo. I'm surprised they even tried that with you!

cdukshn1st 3 years ago
I'm glad you have had a positive experience with an inversion table. One thing that is key (talking from experience, having used mine for two months now, regularly). People with high blood pressure or vertigo / dizziness should start at a slight angle (20 degrees or so), then work their way up after continued sessions. Complete inversion (90 deg) increases blood pressure to the head / brain and stresses the body's circulatory system more. Adjust your angle DOWN if you feel faint, dizzy at 1st

I actually DID have surgery. The doctor said that he wanted to do a fusion and I asked if there were anything less intrusive, he told me yes. He said that he could shave the bone down a lil. I asked if that would give me back relief, he said yes. I had the surgery and later found out that the operation he gave me was designed to alleviate leg pain, I had leg pain 1 day for 30 seconds a year prior to the surgery.

I've had a chronic back condition for the last forty years, which results in pain in one or both legs, plus pain in the small of the back. A few nights ago, I was in misery, and couldn't sleep for the pain I was experiencing. Later the following day I was in a sporting goods store, and they had one of the Teeter inversion tables on display. I bought one, used it that evening, and got total relief. While it may not be the answer for everyone, it's definitely worth looking into.

Do a google search for HSN coupons, they also have the 5 payment flex pay for those of you that rather make 5 $50 payments without a credit check. I do cubicle work all day, and its taking a toll on my back, posture, and a good nights sleep. So hopefully the teeter will help prevent anymore damage.

I will try to evaluate the inversion bed on its own merits. First tilt seemed to help, definately elimated the pain during tilt. Hopefully it will help re-hydrate my disks and give my nerves some space.

I heard in order to strap your feet in on these tables, you've got to bend over. Is this true? Bending is quite painful and scary for me (as it must be for many with lower back pain) so it would be nice if I didn't have to bend over to use this.

I have 2 bulging disk and a bone spur. I went thru spinal decompression thru my chiro, and it helped lengthen my spine and relieve about 90% of my sciatica pain.
