austind's Full Review: Teeter Hang Ups F5000 Inversion Table
At 61, I have suffered from back pain for over 40 years. In 1962, I fell from a building and suffered 3 compression fractures. In the 1960s and 70s, I raced motorcycles. Since that time, I have had frequent, recurring and sometimes debilitating back pain. Lower, middle, upper back, you name it - I have had pain everywhere.
I have been to physical therapy, Chiropractors, medical doctors. I have been to exercise physiologists and trainers. I have been worked out and worked on by a martial arts champion. I have taken Flexeril and Hydrocodone like candy. I took 500mg of Naprosyn (Aleve) twice a day for 8-10 years on doctors orders. I have been told I need surgery. I have read Dr. Sarno's book, "Healing Back Pain" (which did help a little).
In other words, I have done it all, been everywhere and taken everything including some things I won't mention here.
Then, a couple of months ago, I bought a Teeter 5000 Hang-up. I am not cured and I am not claiming this is a miracle product. I still have back pain. But I have to say, this really helps. Morning and evening, I hang at an angle for 3 minutes. Then I go back to horizontal for a minute of rest. Then I go to full vertical for another 3 minutes during which I do some twists and bends.
I cannot explain to someone who has never been in the pain I have or who has never tried inversion therapy what a difference I feel after a session. It is wonderful. It's only been a couple months and it gets better all the time. When I first started using it, I could not get off the table for 5 minutes after hanging until my spine re-compressed. Now when I am done I put on a back belt (Back-A-Line) for 10-15 minutes. But I need it less and less.
I use my Hang-up EVERY day and will continue for the rest of my life. This is, beyond a doubt, the best investment in exercise or fitness equipment I have ever made.
I purchased from the Comfort Store in Columbus Ohio and got a scratch and dent model for $30.00 off.
