Does anyone have or use an inversion table?

[Kellydelly]

I am looking for solutions to my sciatica problem. I have already tried PT, but wasn't impressed and can't afford to hop from one PT to the next, trying to find someone that works with my schedule and actually helps me (I was put on a traction machine several times and it made my lower back worse). I was thinking maybe an inversion table could help. Does anyone have one and like it? Anyone with sciatica use it and have relief? TIA

We have not.
However DH's chiropractor says he loves the inversion tables. They really boost his business once people use them.
So from that comment -- no way would I use one.

I had sciatica really bad. And I used PT and a chiropractor several times a week for weeks.
Then you just have to find what works best for you.

I wouldn't be using the inversion table to do ab workouts, which I guess is one use for them, only to stretch out my spine and let some pressure off my disks. The chiropractor I initially saw for my sciatica actually jacked up my back worse, I didn't have any lower back pain before he touched me! I only had a pain in my rear. Now I have pain in both areas .
