Altho the idea behind an inversion table seems reasonable, it can actually injure your back more. Well, let me qualify that remark.....if you are over about 60 years old it can possibly hurt your back more as can a chiropractor. The injections help many people and yes you may have to have the series of three. You can have them every year. However, another way to help your back pain is to exercise a bit more. Walking , bike riding are the best with Yoga added for strength and flexiblity. Eight months ago every step I took was painful now I do three spin classes a week, play tennis several times a week, swim laps and do Yoga 4 times a week. Golf is still a bit painful but nothing like it was before. Start with the simple stuff you can do on your own then maybe go to the injections. These are my opinions about back care, I feel like I've investigated every cure for back problems, I think i should have a Phd in Backology!
