Inversion tables are a help to some cases of back pain. I myself benefit from it. Have not been to a back cracker for two years and I had been going for a long time. The older you are you should not invert yourself as far upside down. Any degree past 90 relieves the spine, opens the disks. Dont go over very far. Now there are alot of back problems that should not use inversion, talk to a doctor. I know of a lot of people that have been ruined by back surgery and a few that it has helped rid the pain. I myself am a big chicken when it comes to any type of surgery so that is out for me. Now the shots are a great help but some people have had bad reactions to them. A fellow I worked with had a bad reaction, made him sick and lost work, lost 30 lbs which he didn't need to lose. Just be careful and consult your doctor.
