I'm thinking of buying an inversion table for short term pain management and wondered if anyone had any experiences of these they could share. I wouldn't know what brand to get or how to use them, all I know is a friend of mine swears by his and there seem to be plenty of good testimonies online.
Thanks in advance for any input.

If you have had pelvic traction at physical therapy and it at least temporarily relieved back or leg symptoms, then it would make sense. In my opinion, units that placed your knees and hips at 90 deg. mechanically are better (less tendency to hyperextend your back which may increase leg symptoms in some) plus they are cheaper and smaller. I prescribed a fair number of them over 22 years.
