After a couple of months of miserable pain going down my hip & leg (like sciatica) at the same time as I lost my primary care physician (PCP), someone mentioned an inversion table as a possible help. After I read the wonderful reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere, I decided to buy it and I went for the EP-950 because it came standard with most of the stuff that would be an add-on to the 550. Each time I tried it, when I first got off the table, the pain was considerably lessened in my back/hip/leg. Unfortunately, the more I used it, the more painful my ankles became. I wore the lace up shoes recommended and bought a different pair think maybe the top of the shoes were interfering w/ the ankle support system. My ankles became swollen and it felt like a deep tissue bruising, although there were no bruises showing. When I finally was able to see a new PCP, he told me to stop using the table. I did. My ankles aren’t swollen now, but the one still hurts occasionally if it rotates a little too much. And I’ve listed my beautiful new Teeter EP-950 on Craig’s List.
I purchased the Teeter Hang Up from Amazon.com almost a year ago. I have had back problems for almost thirty years with surgery recommended for the past twenty, which I have put off. I have herniated discs of L4 and L5 along with arthritis of my spine, knees and ankles.
Since the 1990’s I have been living with daily pain and in the late 1990’s have had a few weeks where I cannot possibly get in my car or work. On a regular day I had trouble getting in and out of my car, could not work around the yard or do anything strenuous.
Finally by 2009 I decided things were so bad that I could not hold off on surgery any longer and started doing research and happened on the reviews on Amazon.com after seeing one of the Teeter Hang Up commercials. I thought I had nothing to lose but still had limited hope that it would help my situation.
When I got the Teeter Hang Up I went only part of the way back the first couple of days, then decided to take the plunge and go vertical. I made sure my wife was around as I was a little worried about whether my back could go out and of course at 52 years old was not used to hanging upside down. When I first went vertical it was kind of like when I used to go to a Chiropractor. There were some pops and cracks which actually felt good but was disconcerting at first.
By the end of the first week I was amazed that my back felt so much better. After about the second week we went away for a few days and my back pain started coming back since I could not use the Teeter Hang Up. Once I started using again the pain went away again. I then started doing stretching exercises and even sit up and crunches on the Teeter. You can do some great exercises.
I decided to wait awhile before writing a review as I always felt that maybe the relief was temporary or would reverse. But my back kept getting better, to the point that I have not had any pain for several months, and even when we go away for a week or so, the pain does not come back.
Now that it has been almost a year I can now work in the yard, use a shovel, get in and out of my car with absolutely no pain, and am even going to the gym and working out with heavy weights. I can now walk and run long distances which makes me thrilled as I used to run races, but have not been able to in many years. I now am getting in better condition and hope soon to be in as good or better condition than I was in my youth.
I know one thing, and that is that Teeter Hang Ups has made me able to do everything I used to do, and do it pain free. And the best part is, I never even consider having spinal surgery any more. I had talked to my doctors about Teeter Hang Ups and they all said forget it, they cannot work. I am glad I tried it and hope that many other people will try the Teeter Hang Up and Inversion Therapy before jumping in to having surgery.
Although I know that if I permanently stopped using the Teeter Hang Up, my pain would likely return, I now believe that as long as I continue to use it daily, I will never, ever have a back problem again.
Teeter Hang Ups EP-950 Inversion Therapy Table
I’ve been using inversion therapy for over 25 years. It works for me. Okay with that out of the way – I ordered the EP-950. Assembly out of the shipping crate isn’t difficult if you have basic mechanical skills. Watching the video first may help some. Once I started using it I found the table was exhibiting a flexing action that seemed to indicate something wasn’t lined up properly or was defective. It seemed the table was separating from the frame or the table frame was separating from the main shaft. It was difficult to diagnose since I’m in a state of inversion as I’m trying to diagnose it.
I contacted Teeter by email. I got a call back and email within 24 hours. I replied by email and the service department went right to work. Laura, the service rep sent me new hinges, when that didn’t seem to correct it, I was sent a new main shaft bushing. That didn’t get it either. Finally a new table and main shaft did the trick.
This company demonstrated a level of customer service that is sadly missing from today’s typical retail manufacturer. The table is rock solid – I’ve had several over my exercising lifetime this one if by far the best. Would I preferred to have a perfectly working table out of the box instead of having to go through the back and forth with Teeter – you bet. But as a middle-aged guy who has been buying stuff for over 40 years it is a certainty that every now and then things go wrong. It is how the responsible parties handle it that makes the difference.
Teeter demonstrated they understand the customer is the reason they have a business. I wholeheartedly endorse the equipment and you have nothing to worry about if you have any customer service needs.
Happy hanging.
very well engineered and it’s steel. Be sure you review the instruction CD before putting it together since it will go a bit faster. Expect about 45′ until you get it adjusted to your height. I have 2 ruptured lumbar discs and chronic pain for years. 90% better using table 1-2 times daily for 5-8 minutes usually with my headphones on. I’m not fully inverted but it does not look like I will need to be. Those on Craig’s list and such are same price without warranty.
I’m not going into great detail here. I found all that info when researching this product. I wanted the best inversion table I could find and this was time and again what was recommended by most all written reviews.
Very sturdy and well made! It does just what the doctor ordered and I doubt seriously that there are many inversion tables of better quality for home use. There may be better professional gym tables, but I can’t imagine how thay would make a better home version.
A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for and this is a great table! I couldn’t ask for better.
