Inversion tables: Who owns one?

[medjay]

I've been thinking about buying an inversion table to help combat my chronic lower back pain and I'm wondering if anyone uses one regularly and has any advice.

Do they work? Are they worth the money? Will it eventually end up collecting dust in the closet? Is there a certain brand I should look out for?

Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to hear something other than the gushing testimonials on inversion websites.

If I thought hanging upside-down would do me good, I would first try it out on the neighborhood playground's jungle gym. Don't forget to empty your pockets and tuck in your shirt.

Doing this during the day might make people think you're weird, but doing it at night might make them think you're a vampire.
