I have a bulging disc and degenerative disc disease has anyone had success with!
Question:
I am on serious pain meds but am getting tired of taking them, also went to first treatment of PT and traction table today, and I am suffering. I had to take 5 of these tablets (percocet 7.5) over three hours to get any relief. Has anyone tried an inversion table and had success before I go buy one? Any other success stories besides a shot into the spine? I don't think I can do that. I would almost rather have surgery than have a shot into my spine I really really really do not do well with needles.

When my SI joint is out, it is impossible to function and I really dislike the haze that pain meds induce!! I have had an inversion table for 2 years and believe it was heaven sent!! It is, however, an acquired taste as alot of people are not comfortable hanging upside down. Also if you have circulatory, heart or any type of balance or inner ear problems, this is not the treatment alternative for you!! Definately try one before you buy one. If you do decide to take this path.purchase a well built quality model! Good Luck!

I have an inversion table and I really do think it helps with my lower back pain and my neck pain. However, I do not have a bulging disc - I just have disc degeneration. I use the inversion table, ice, go to Ceregem (free massage tables) and occasionally use ibuprophen. A lot of walking in the water and sometimes a hot tub. AT
