Anyone here use an inversion table for back pain?

Bulging disks in thoracic spine. Injured it three weeks ago and still giving me issues. Been using an inversion table for 3-4 days with limited success.

Yes. It worked well. I also recommend full tissue massage and stretching.
You can rock back and forth on the inversion table for about a minute before going into your hang. I did four minutes three times a day when my back was at its worst. It is not an immediate cure but worth it.
ETA: 1 minute of rocking followed by 4 minutes of hanging.

I hated using one. After just a few minutes, it felt like my head was fixing to explode.

My brother swears by it. I do a lot of back exercises to keep mine in check.

I've used one before and kind of want to get another one for the home. You don't have to be completely upside down, just a slight inversion will help.

I tried it when I had a herniated disc and didn't get any relief.

I have one at home that helps a good bit with lower bulging discs. Tip, let your arms hang down. Helps with blood rushing to your head

Everyone's success story will be different. Nerve pain is so unique to each case.
Moat people incorrectly use the inversiin table and just go straight to a vertical flip. 30-40% Incline is best. It's not a game changer but works well for me in between chiro visits.
But if the injury is fresh I would see a reputable chiro after an mri and take it from there.
