I have suffered for years from debilitating lower back pain, and doctors only recommend pills or surgery. It comes and goes, but as of recent it has been really bad, cause stabbing pains in my lower sides, tingling in my toes, and hindering my range of motion greatly. I am young (26 yrs old) and it is ruining my quality of life. Any feedback or advice on inversion therapy is much welcomed

I suppose it depends on what is causing the back pain to begin with. I partially broke my neck years ago, and I find the inversion really helps take the pressure off by decompressing the discs. I also injured my sciatic nerve, and it doesn’t do anything for that. When that acts up, I make a trip to the DO for a manipulation, and that does help. You might consider either a DO (Doctor of Osteopathy), preferably- although a chiropracter can also be of help. The DO has the advantage of being able to offer medications if they will be helpful, but the first choice would be something physical therapy related and less invasive. They tend not to be so hasty advising pills and knives to cure, unless it really is the only or best option.

Causes of back pain can be many and various. I’ve acquired it from lifting, and I’ve acquired it from emotional stress: you always have to look fully at where it may be coming from – but for sure try natural therapies like inversion therapy, yoga, far infrared heatpad therapy before you accept surgery or staying on painkillers!
