What are people's experience with Inversion tables?

As I indicated to popolopo in a private post, I experienced debilitating right hip pain from lumbar spinal stenosis for several months before trying an inversion table. I could not walk for more than a couple of blocks or stand for more than a few minutes. I carried a little camp stool with me so I could sit down for some relief. I tried several PT sessions, 3 chiropractors, dry needling, acupuncture, massage, all with no relief from the discomfort. Then I tried a friend's inversion table (Ironman brand). Within three days I was back walking and had no issues standing. I used it daily for a number of weeks, and now, a year later, I use it about once a week. I would suggest finding a chiropractor that uses an inversion table as part of a treatment plan.

I read the reply above and learned something unexpected. I’m having surgery in January for a lateral herniated disk and severe stenosis. I’ve wondered why my R hip hurts so much. Drs here in GA only shrugged their shoulders.
I bought the best inversion table by Teeter. I could not use it because I got worse. Maybe because of the lateral herniated disk. They have a great return policy. Make sure you read EVERYTHING with the product. You only need to go just a little past flat position to receive benefit.
For vertigo what helped me was my husband watching the video by the 2 PT guys on the Epley Maneuver.
