Best Money I Have Spent In Years!
I have been suffering from back problem for years. About 4 weeks ago I started to have extreme pain just above my hip level, in the center of my back. Standing up working for several hours a day has brought this on. It got to the point where I could not stand for more than about 30 minutes without severe back pain.
I was about to seek medical help, but decided to do some research on line about possible other remedies, before going to see a doctor or chiropractor. When I started reading, I found lots of others with the exact same situation that I was in. After a lot of reading, I realized that "Inversion Tables" came up more than any other type of treatment.
I started researching Inversion Tables. After several hours of reading and looking, I settled on the Ironman Gravity 400 Inversion Table. I ordered it on line, it came by UPS and I had the USP Driver actually bring it into my Living Room, as there was no way that I would be able to lift the 85 pound package.
When I open the box, I did not believe the quality of the material of the Gravity 400!! It is so solid and firm, not the least bit cheaply built. It took me some time to get it assembled, due to my back pain, but I was able to get it all assembled in about an hour. I read the manual and cautiously got on it for the first time, having it set for about 45 degrees of tilt.
It took several on and offs to get it adjusted so that I was balanced when laying flat. The first time I went all the way to 45 degrees of inversion, it was very concerning! Felt like I was going to end upside down!
After the very first time of 5 minutes, I got relief from the severe pain that I had 5 minutes before. During that 5 minutes, my back snapped several times in different places of my spine. With each one I could feel a relief of pressure and pain.
I have been using it twice a day for two weeks now, and I have absolutely no back pain at all! I can stand and work for hours on end, I feel tired, but the back pain is completely gone. Almost every time I use the Inversion Table, there is cracking somewhere in my spine, but it is getting less every day.
An interesting side effect, that I have noticed, is that when I get off of the table I am about 2 inches taller then when I get on. Now after two weeks I have actually grown about three quarters of an inch. Must be the muscles in my back are getting retrained to keep the disks separated. I am 81 years young, and have been very active all of my life.
It is hard to believe just how great I am feeling and I give the Ironman Inversion Table all the credit for making it happen.
As I told my wife this morning, the is the best $200 I have spent in years.
