Yes, I bought a teater totter hoping it would help my cervical pain but when I used it, I could only feel it working on my lumbar/lower back region. It felt like it would have worked if I had low back pain. I have a friend who says it works wonders with is low back pain and if you look at teater totter reviews on any product review website, it seems to get very consistent high markes in pain relief.
I recommend it. Good luck!

I haven't used an inversion table, but I have a home traction unit. I think it is superior to inversion table because you don't have to deal with getting upside down. You lie face down on some pillows and apply the traction yourself.
It was called IsoTrac and was built by a spine patient from Alaska. It's very simple. I liked it and I think it helped. For most of us, by the time we know we have a problem, we really have a problem that is not going to be addressed by this type of therapy. But... I know a few people who have gotten long term relief from such things. Mark Mark

I loved my inversion table. It was always good for some quick relief. I never turned completely upside down using the tether strap at about 45*. If you never used one, start slowly, increasing time with usage.
Dr. FM said post ADR, my inversion table is a no no.
