Anyone used Inversion Tables?

[npeiquomitniojerx]

Has anyone out there ever tried using an Inversion table for bad backs? My son has a back problem and I was thinking about buying him one for Christmas. Interested to know what others think of this.

Hi jeannie
According to me for your child I suggest some exercise because he is very young at this time so I not suggest you drugs and medicine and I feel that the positions that seem to work best for quick but temporary relief are:
1. lay on the floor on your back with calves and feet up on a chair or sofa,
2. Try laying prone on your elbows, laying on your stomach lift your upper Body and rest on elbows (I find a pillow under my chest also helps) but be sure to start with a small elevation and don’t go far enough to cause extra pain and for the through study about this exercise and relief areas you need to visit it [link=http://www.medical-health-care-information.com/Health-living/Back-pain/index.asp]http://www.medical-health-care-information.com/Health-living/Back-pain/index.asp[/link] they explain it with pictorial help . I hope these help but I will also agree with others that if your child feel more pain then it needs to be diagnosed, sounds to me like the sciatic nerve is getting pinched causing the pain on the left side, but I am not a medical professional so all this is give on the net material and hope it will help you. Good luck and hope you feel better soon,

Hi Jeannie,

My partner has had some back problems including sciatica and she eventually gave up with the GP and went for an alternative. She tried something called Spinal Touch and I went with her for the treaments to see what it was about. Essentially it involved getting her to stand on a flat board with her feet in a certain place and then the therapist checked the alignment of the spine,neck,shoulders and hips against a plumb line from the back and the side. From this itwas determined how "far out"her posture was. Once this has been graded, the therapist got her to lay face down on a therapy couch with a bolster underneath so she was positioned in a certain way, and then applied pressure at a certain point around the buttock whilst massaging very gently in little circles certain points across her back. After the first session she could already tell that she was standing differently, and another check up against the plumb line confirmed it. In all I think it took 4 sessions before she was totally straightened up, but it definitely made a difference for her.

Love and Reiki Hugs

Thanks for replies, think there is a mix up here as my son is actually 34.

I am also interested in the inversion table. Looking forward to hearing from those who have tried them. I noticed a banner ad on this forum at one time, but didn't click it fast enough before it changed.

A long time ago I saw a woman who had what I think was called a Nordic Table - that inverted and also vibrated. It's not something you could have at home asthey are very expensivebut I did find it helpful.
