Teeter Inversion Table

Reever — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 03:15:38 GMT

Has anyone tried this device ? As someone who suffers from lower back pain I was considering it but was intimidates by the set up. Is it hard ? Are the results worth it ? I believe Roger is in his 70s. He says he feels great.

My Son own this device and loves it. He has some minor back issues and this helps to keep him aliened so he doesn't have pain. He uses it just about everyday after work and highly recommends it. The set up according to hm was very easy.

My sister got one but it aggravated her back condition. She quit using it and had surgery instead. Then she didn't need it anymore.

I purchased one over a year ago. I haven't tried it out yet. It is still in the box. There are many pieces to put together. I usually put things together myself, but this looks like it needs two people to do it. It comes in a flat box about six inches thick and six feet long.

DH and my youngest son, who owns one, said they will put it together for me. So far, no one has.....so, it sits in the box untouched.

My DH bought an inversion table several years ago. It was no miracle cure for him. He has had two back surgeries and gets regular epidural injections. He still uses the device in spurts. The hard part for us is that it takes up a lot of space and if it doesn't stay set up, it doesn't get used.

We have one that my DH uses more then I do. I use it when my neck or lower back hurts. I find it very relaxing. I don't invert 100% upside down. LOL!!! Don't have to to get relief.

I started using it again since I felt out of whack from walking with plantar fasciitis.

If we did not have one DH would be going to a chiropractor.

DH put ours together. I don't think it was difficult to put together.

Search Teeter Hang Up Assembly on Youtube to check out some videos.

We love it! It is a very personal piece of equipment, your results probably depend on your specific health condition and, of course, how consistently it is used. I think it is helpful for circulation as well as back issues, but again depends on the individual.

@Reever Yes, we bought it last year when DH came down with a severe attack of sciatica. He loves the table, uses it before work, and before bed, and it has helped tremendously when what his doctor recommended didn't much.

@ReeverMine isn't a Teeter but it was not hard to put together. I used it for many years and my neck and back felt great. It is very relaxing. You don't have to fully invert to get the benefit. I did have to quit using mine after breaking my ankle and having surgery for a torn miniscus. My ankle and knee don't feel right after using it now. I want to get an inversion chair now since you don't have to strap your feet in.

I've always wanted one just to decompress my spine and relax. I don't have any back issues. It seems I've gotten about an inch shorter over the years.

I have Fuchs dystrophy(build up of pressure in cornea and swelling) and had to have cornea transplants. My ophthalmologist advised against using this or doing any type of inversion

He also mentioned that if you have high blood pressure it could make that worse.🙁

I have this brand of inversion table, which I’ve had for probably over 10 years.

When my brother, who was suffering with back problems, came to see us I suggested he try ours. Surprisingly, he got on it and completely inverted. During his 3 day stay he kept getting on it and said he couldn’t believe how much better he felt. He went home and bought one.

My son likes to get on it when he comes over and reports it helps immensely. Other family members enjoy it, as well.

I used it a few years ago when I had such painful sciatica. It helped some, which I was grateful for. I can’t fully invert. I can only go down a slight bit. I noticed right away when I got it that it bothers my eyes—makes them feel like they’re bulging out. It’s too uncomfortable for me. I’ve since known of a few others who reported this same problem. And for others, no problem at all. But that fact keeps me from using it like I’d like.

I have been using mine since I purchased a couple months moths ago. Works great dcompressing spine. Costco has one model for a great price...just saw it in warehouse. I bought mine on line so it would be delivered to house( mine is a different model than in store now). I wanted to buy for I’m Costco because if I didn’t like it they’d work with me. It is a heavy item boxed but assembly is easy.

Re: Teeter Inversion Table

Carmie — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 14:12:31 GMT

Hmmm, if assembly I still pretty easy, I will have to try to put mine together myself. It just looks so daunting.

Teddie — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 15:32:36 GMT

Oh my gosh, @Carmie , I don’t remember mine looking like that at all! That looks terrible!

I purchased one from QVC about 20 years ago. Hanging upside down did make my back feel better. The problem I had was the clamps that held my feet in place, bruised my feet terribly.

Eventually I gave the machine away.

@Carmie

While mine needed some assembling, it looked nothing like yours when it arrived.

@Carmie you need to find a young guy ,that tinkers with cars, and stuff ,and pay him to put this together.

Re: Teeter Inversion Table

Carmie — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 22:52:25 GMT

@cherry My DH does more than just tinker with cars. He replaces engines and transmission and even does body work and full paint jobs.

I just need to get him motivated when he is home. I don't know any young men that would be able to put this together for me. Well, maybe one of my sons..he has one that he put together, but he is always working.

I have no plans for tomorrow, so I am going to try to tackle it myself. The box says it goes together in five easy steps. It has been sitting there in the box for over a year.

I am pretty handy. I put furniture and grills and bicycles together. This ought to be fun...NOT.

@Starpolisher I wanted to get one of those too as I have neck and back issues but when I mentioned to my Dr. he said no due to my high pressure. Oh. well.
