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.

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.

He is 81.

@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.
