Inversion therapy has been used for thousands of years to treat various forms of back pain and sciatica. Here’s what we think about this popular inversion table…
If you’ve purchased or used a Teeter inversion table, please post your comments.
I got the Teeter inversion table and had too take it back the next day. The unit pulled on the ankles too much and caused alot of pain. I tried useing shoes and boots no help for me, Ijust couldn’t use the Teeter.
To make along story short. I after hurting myself last summer (2009) was told I had three bulging disks. After going to the doctor and then to a back doctor; I was told to take pain pills and that surgery would correct my condition. Then I went to a decompression consultation and was told the lenght of time and cost which I did not have enough of I went to a Chiropactor. He suggested (after telling me there are no quick fixes) to look into inversion therapy. After some long reasearch I purchased a Teeter EP950.
After two and a half weeks (I was not fully inverted) I felt my disks slip back in, not pop back in but slip back in. I also have a some wonderful side affects that I did not count on. One of those was that my sciatica pain went away. I use it every day for only a few minutes and only go fully inverted once in awhile. My wifes hips are no longer giving her a problem. WE LOVE OUR TABLE
I’ve had severe back issues for at least 10 years. I’ve had to go for epidural treatments frequently. Unfortunately, the cortisone used in the treatment exascerbated my diabetes. Then I met an old friend who had been bedriddenm but is now walking.He suggested decompression which I tried. It worked wonders, but is very expensive and time consuming. When I saw the Teeter inversion table I decided to buy one. It was so much less expensive than the decompression and allowed me to use it on my own time. I use the teeter now daily, once in the a.m. and once in the evening. Initially it caused pain when I stood up, but after reading an article about gradually adjusting your body to the vertical position, I changed the way I use the machine. I now completely invert, but spend several minutes gradually lessening the angle. By the time I am standing, my pain is completely gone. I don’t know how I lived without it all these years.
