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.

Did you go to a chronic pain masseuse or just get the deep tissue massage at a run of the mill massage place?

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 never felt like it made a big difference for me. Definitely not life changing. Not crazy expensive, but does take up a bit of space. On balance, looking back I'd say impact was negligible. I'm good now and was able to avoid surgery, but have to pay attention to what I do and avoid potential exacerbating activities.

I started at one that specialized in stretching then switched to one that used cupping. I highly recommend cupping

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

Cupping is where they put the heated cups on your back? What about acupuncture?

Dry needling? Dry needling is amazing. It 100% is super effective for my back issues.

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.
