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.
