Albeit not an inversion table, I spent quite a bit of time in PT with a similar device and had no noticeable benefits. I tried chiropractic care with terrible results.
I've had back surgery and I deal with on-going stenosis and arthritis in my back and neck that creates quite a bit of stiffness. For years, I have been getting facet injections in my neck and back on average every 3 months. I also get the nerve endings in my back burned off every 3 months by a procedure called radio frequency lesioning (RFL). These procedures help, but they are not, for me, a cure.
I have spent thousands of dollars on acupuncture, chiropractors, massage therapy, special mattresses, chairs and other devices. I now realize there isn't a magic fix. I exercise daily and although my marathon days are behind me, I've accepted what I have to deal with and I look forward to every day ahead of me. Life is good!
