Default Inversion table and cortisone shots for back pain therapy

Has anyone used an inversion table (a table that lets you hang upside down) for treating lower back pain?

I went to a surgeon this week for consultation after getting my MRI results. He said I didn't need surgery and gave me a referral to a anesthetist for a cortisone shot. He also recommended the inversion table. He said it would relieve the pressure on my backbone.

Has anyone actually used an inversion table for this purpose? What were the results? Did it really help?

What about the cortisone shots? Do they work?
