@spadgera Welcome to Connect. Have you consulted a spine specialist about your pain? The best thing to do would be to ask your doctor if an inversion table could help or if there could be any risks associated with it. It can't fix a problem that needs surgical correction, but being upside down may help temporarily take off some of the pressure caused by gravity in being upright.

I've also responded in this discussion where you can connect with others about inversion tables. This was my comment there.

Has your spine been evaluated by a specialist?
