(More customer reviews)If you've done your research on whether this treatment is right for you then the table is solid, well made, easy to use, good value. I recommend it.
Am I cured? 90%.
Did the table cure me? It played a part, as did a lot of exercise, massage, posture improvement, h-wave and adjustment.
By the way, for every opinion you will receive an equal and opposite one; for everyone who believes inversion tables are good, you will find one who believes they are not. It's frustrating.
I am a 41 year old amateur competitive cyclist and professional person who sits down a lot. Years of poor posture led to the onset of lower back pain and some sciatic nerve irritation. Enough to keep me off the bike. Late 2008 I was diagnosed with dessicated, bulging L4/L5 discs. I tried the doctor but there's not much they can do beyond symptom management without surgery. Physio but I wasn't impressed. Accupuncture alleviated symptoms temporarily. I was referred to a chiro who employed "non-sugical spinal decompression" techniques, h-wave stimulation, cold laser, conventional "cracking" adjustment, massage and physio.
After 3 months I am 90% better. Back on the bike. There is argument that the spinal decompression (machine or inversion table) only works when you are on it; there is no long term benefit. I don't know. The table provides relief and also provides a platform for core strengthening exercises; that is the key - improve posture and strengthen the core so that vertebrae are held in the correct position and discs are able to assume their correct position.
I use the table 5 mins daily; I am in no discomfort now but it allows me to do some of my core exercises. I also spend 30-60 mins on a mat doing other exercises; it's a serious undertaking but I abused my body for 41 years and I owe it a little TLC now.
It also helps to be very positive, to do things which you feel are helping. The body is a self-healing organism.
Good luck.

Whether you want to reduce back stress or fatigue, stimulate your blood circulation, or work your abs, the Ironman ATIS 3500 inversion table makes a great household accessory. The inversion table contributes to your body's overall health by optimizing lumbar traction, thereby relieving pressure on your vertebrae discs and ligaments. And when your back starts to relax, the rest of your body follows. The table can also help with such areas as increasing body flexibility for improved athletic performance, reducing the effects of aging due to gravity, and relieving lower backaches due to sitting or standing.
However, the ATIS 3500 differs from other inversion tables in a couple of crucial ways. First, by virtue of its ab and core training system, the table isolates the abdominals far more effectively than bench training, letting you build and strengthen your abs daily with just a few minutes of work. And second, the table offers 10 different inversion locking angles, letting you find the perfect position for your body type and symptoms.
The ATIS 3500 is outfitted with a durable oval tubing steel frame and a foam backrest with one-inch of memory foam. The backrest is tough yet durable and extends for comfortable head support. More importantly, the inversion system is a breeze to use: once you rest your body against the backrest and slip your feet into the ergonomically molded ankle cushions, simply reach your arms over your head. As your arms go up, your body gradually inverts to the preset angle. The only inputs are your energy and gravity itself.
Users will also appreciate the tough rubber non-skid floor stabilizers, which keep the table stable while you invert, and the extra-long safety handles, which provide an easy return to an upright position. Other details include a height-adjustable frame up to 6 feet 6 inches; support for up to 320 pounds; vinyl safety side covers to protect hands and fingers; a scratch-resistant powder-coated finish; inverted, foam-dipped hand grips that provide maximum stretching while inverted; and a side holder for cell phones, eyeglasses, wallets, coins, watches, and other small items.
