Cure for Back Pain

     Got back pain?  A pinched nerve?  I think we may have actually found the solution for you.  It is called the teeter.  My wife’s brother got one as a gift for her.  She was having a bit of pain in her back after trying to run and get back into shape.  It was a cinch to put together and amazingly, since she has been using it, her pain is gone.

     Here is a description about how it works from a related site:

Teeter Hang Ups are a line of inversion tables designed to make it easy to recline in an inverted position by one's ankles. The user controls the degree of inversion -- from reclining just a few degrees (recommended for new users) to completely upside down. The manufacturer doesn't claim any medical or health benefits beyond temporary relief of back pain and says it's not for everyone.

Reviews say it's important to seek medical advice before using an inversion table. Persons with certain medical conditions, such as glaucoma or bone weakness, should not use inversion tables, experts caution. Professional reviews of inversion tables at the University of California, Berkeley, Wellness Letter and at WebMD.com say pain relief is temporary. Experts consulted say they are not convinced of any long-term benefits to spine health.

However, most of the user-written reviews we found say the Teeter Hang Ups inversion tables work, with owners reporting consistent pain relief plus a pleasant sense of stretching. At Amazon.com, for example, about 90 percent of the users reviewing one of the least expensive Teeter Hang Ups models, the EP-550 (*Est. $300), say they're very satisfied with it. Users do urge reviewing the instructional DVD carefully, and some warn against using the device without someone nearby in case you need help. Please note that some reviews we found are for an older version of the EP-550, the F5000, but they still give a good sense of customers' satisfaction with the table.

     We can agree that we don’t know of long term benefits -- yet it is our experience that it works to relieve pain.  If you are starting a work out routine and you find that your back has a started to ache -- the teeter will work to assist you.  Just make sure you have someone help you when you first try it out.  It can be a little scary, but when you get used to it -- it is a great device.
