Dr. Root wrote about this in his book "No More Aching Back". In it he suggested some exercises and stretches that cured me of back pain, and the Chiropractor. I bought several copies and used to give them away to friends who experienced back pain. It has worked well for them!

I used it 3 days straight and the pain I had in my right hip went away for the first time in 7 years! I overdid it considering I went totally vertical 180 degrees from the start, consequently I have been having muscle spasms in my quads and glutes for a week now. Been to the chiropractor three times and needed to take Flexeril, which did nothing...As soon as the spasms stop I'll be buying an Inversion table but I'll be starting at 60 degrees!

I have pain that ranges from moderate to severe and it seems to move around. Lately it has been L5-S1 issues. My new years resolution is to use the inversion table for 10 minutes a day even if I feel ok. It has really helped me in the past. Sometimes I feel my vertibre seperate and your disk slip back in. It's worth a try. Just don't over do it. I can get myself completely inverted, but sometime this is too hard on L5-S1. I can't say this is a cure yet. I will chime back in after a month of using the table every day. I have a Teeter inversion table at home. I have pain that ranges from moderate to severe and it seems to move around.

There are several causes for back pain, the most being spasms in muscles of the core. The hips, thighs, butt, lower back and most importantly the abs are what cause back pain. When you hang upside down it allows the muscles of the abs to relax, stretch and loosen. As they do they release their grip on the muscles of the lower back and as this happens those muscles quit tugging on the lower back and pelvis pulling them out of alignment. When these muscles are all stretched and relaxed your lower back and pelvis are allowed to go back into natural alignment and as this happens you eliminate sciatica and lower back pain. It's the spasms in the muscles that give you problems. Inversion therapy cures this. It worked for me and I've had back issues my whole life. Hope this helps you and happy new year!!!
