Teeter Hang Ups EP-950 Inversion Therapy Table

I had my first L5-S1 back surgery in 1987 after a MVA, a 6.5 hr neck cancer surgery in 1999 and have a fused C5/C6. I've had many spinal problems since and have had constant chiropractic care and massage every year since 1990, costing a small fortune.

I then suffered a severe compression injury at T8-T11 Oct 2008 when I hit a large pothole with a motorcycle. Five MRI's in 09 (grand total of 18!), many DC's, MD's, massage therapists and finally "pain management", plus a desperate visit with a neurosurgeon for one last opinion, he stated there was nothing they could do but medicate, leaving me with very little hope, extremely limited ability to move and living with a great deal of pain. Nothing had helped.

Having had at least two other pre-owned generic inversion tables years ago, and one inversion seat two years ago, none of which I really liked, I saw an ad on TV a week or so ago for the Teeter and decided to give this another try. In the very short time I have used this I have at least some noticeable relief and no difficulty using the machine.

I also use and highly recommend the FANTASTIC, Robert's moist heating pad (never have to add water but you will need to put towels or a very heavy shirt on top due to it's high temp) which covers the table to help loosen the muscles before and during use.

This quality table is extremely well designed and made. I am very pleased with the purchase!

Had I not gotten this unit with the extended release mechanism for the feet, it is quite likely I may not have gotten off the table after the first two uses as I could barely stand up and certainly could not bend over whatsoever. I also could not have done without the extended hand rails.

I have so much pain (I had a severe reaction to the Magnevist dye used for an MRI in Jan 06 which has locked up my spine and joints since), I very slowly first lower my butt down on the table after a session, slide out one foot and unlock the foot release, very slowly get off the machine and then stretch bending forward for a few minutes. I've only used a minimal degree of inversion, but this table has been great. The $3.99 over night shipping with Amazon Prime was superb.

It has been the ONLY means of dealing with my spinal injuries that has allowed me movement the past couple of days and I now have some hope for recovery and betting back to riding our Gold Wing.

If you have any doubt as to which table model may be right for you, I highly suggest called the Teeter factory before you purchase.Get more detail about Teeter Hang Ups EP-950 Inversion Therapy Table.
