It was amazing. I've only experienced symptoms once, since, and did a little experimenting and the inversion definitely does the trick. I've had my inversion table for many years and bought it specifically for the carpal tunnel after hearing a woman remark that hers had been cured. Even if I had only used it that one time, it would have been worth the cost (about 200 dollars US). Plus, I haven't had to go to the chiropractor at all since I've had the inversion table. I had heard of a chiropractor that had one in his private office but didn't offer the therapy to his patients. He just used it for himself! Since then, I use it for everything "chiropractic" in nature and sometimes just for fun!" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/inversion-board.html&name=RF_24232 /Remedies/inversion-board.rss2 Thu, 19 Mar 2009 00:00:00 EDT [BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] Gerald from London, Ontario/Canada writes: "For 6 weeks, I have been using an inversion board twice a day for about 5 minutes each time. I do not go into 180 degree position, but I am closer to 135 degrees. I have found this greatly reduces back pain and I have more flexibility. Recently, I was told I should not use this therapy if I have glaucoma. I don't have glaucoma but I did have a detached retina that has been repaired. There is no doubt that when hanging I feel increased eye pressure. As I have had my retina detached about 9 months ago, is there any contraindication for usage of inversion therapy." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/inversion-board.html&name=RF_20860 /Remedies/inversion-board.rss3 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 00:00:00 EST [YEA] Andrea from Ontario, Canada writes: "A year ago my husband suddenly came home from work bent over in horrible back pain. Had the symptoms of Sciatica, however the Xrays and MRI showed nothing in the area. He was put onto anti inflammatories and pain killers which he hated. 2 weeks of laying in pain and no answers, His knee started swelling as well. I hauled our inversion table out of the basement and got him onto it, that is the one thing that started getting him upright again and moving. After a few days, he was pain free and it hasn't returned. He stands in one spot in his job,on cement so I believe compression is happening with the discs of his spine. The inversion board is terrific and I highly recommend it for anyone in back pain. Just start out easy and work you way eventually into full inversions." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/inversion-board.html&name=RF_20833 /Remedies/inversion-board.rss4 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:00:00 EST [YEA] Deirdre from Atlanta, GA writes: "Neck and Shoulder Pain Remedy: I have had neck pain for years! It's gotten worse lately from all the time spent at the computer each day. My posture starts off great at the beginning of the day and becomes progressively worse as the hours pass. My eyes start to burn and I strain my neck forward trying to read the text on the monitor. As a result of holding this bad posture unconsciously for hours, my neck and shoulders ache non-stop. I am also starting to walk around in this position, with my neck thrust forward and my shoulders up. It's not good! After thinking about it for the last year or so, I decided last week to get an inversion board to help with my neck and shoulder issues. Turns out to be a great investment. I paid $165 for one on Amazon after reading all the reviews (I went with the Ironman). I now hang upside down at varying degrees (45- 90 degrees) 2-3 times a day for about 10 minutes each time. Upside down I feel the blood bathing the lymphatic areas in the groin and armpits. After a few minutes I come back up to the starting position and can feel the blood rushing back down to my feet before I invert again. It feels great! Whereas a week ago I could not tilt my head forward without experiencing pain, now I can do so no problem. Tension in the scapula area is mostly gone. It's a mini-chiropractic adjustment each time I get on the board. I can feel (and sometimes hear) my spine pop into place. I was a gymnast as a child and loved being upside down. I find that I still love to be upside down -- it brings back a lot of great memories! One note: consider wearing Timberland boots if you want to invert to 90 degrees, otherwise the clamps pinching your ankles get painful after a few minutes. Also, be careful if you consider the cheaper version of inversion and buy the boots that you clamp into a bar at the top of a door. My husband has a friend that did this when he was alone in the house and couldn't get back up to unstrap himself! It was about an hour before someone came home and found him (alive, but scared). With a board, you control the angle of inversion and can easily pull yourself up by the side bars."
