Has anyone tried an inversion table?

[champagnebrain]

The reviews on Amazon look good. I injured my back in a fall at Christmas and I've been left with sciatica. Walking is painful.
I'm trying yoga stretches. And weight loss. GP gave me painkillers and suggested weight loss too

I've been to 2 different chiropractors at the same practice who contradicted each other. Then I tried an osteopath who tried a few stretches on me and said
'You feel better now, don't you?' And was shocked when I said I was the same.
Inversion tables start at about £120 so the same price as about 3 treatments.

What to do?

It’s not a terribly expensive outlay and some money could be recouped if you sold it on later.

I had back problems some years ago and bought a thing called a back magic, that stretches out the spine, you build up to it gradually and it was fantastic. No back problems since.

Thanks. I had a look and I might get one too. My back is quite arched when I lay on the floor ( I can get my hand in the gap), so I think I could use it. Some of the reviews say it helped with sciatica.
My GP said no to an MRI so I don't know the source of the pain.
