Spinal Decompression

Non- surgical. Who has done it? Did it work for you? Worth a try?

Are you speaking of the Pain Stretcher that chirocracktors use?

[FireNguns]

I have had it done at the chiropractor and it helped me in combination with steroid injections.

It’s a temporary fix! If you have bad problems I would think twice - even 10 times before getting strapped into that torture device! It only stretches ( or decompresses) millimeters at a time but that can send your muscles around the problem areA/ area’s into horrible spasm’s that may not allow you to get off of the torture table for a while , much less try to take a breath! It’s very expensive and you better do a Lot of research on the Chiro ( practitioner) before you decide to go through with it! I have an extremely high tolerance to pain but I actually crawled out of the office on my hands and knee’s after my last treatments!

Teeter. I have had L4-L5 bulging disc for years. Teeter works well.

I bought an inversion table. Five to ten minutes a couple times a week does wonders for me.

Well worth $125 that I spent on it.

Yes, a quality inversion table saved me from surgery and relieved most of my pain

Get a table with quality ankle cuffs

Bulging L4/5 for me as well. Teeter definitely helps. Start slow and work your way into it if need be. Get in a routine of using it regularly and it’ll help. Ice can be a lifesaver as well. I went through the machine decompression nearly 20 years ago and as mentioned it helped but was a temporary thing. There’s no cure all you just have to learn to move differently and keep your core as strong as possible. Teeter helps decompress daily and in my case has been more helpful than chiro or machine decompression.

While I agree with Bucknaked for the most part, the traction machine definitely helps. I did not experience pain because the traction and "pulling" was slow. Yes, it's not a one-and-done type scenario but it bought me 4 to 5 years of relief with no surgery.

You haven’t stated what your problem is but sounds like, at best, these inversion tables offer only temporary relief, and only for some.

My advice? Find out the source of your pain and have it fixed, even if it requires surgery. Depending on your problem, doing anything less is simply kicking the can down the road.
