Teeter FitSpine X2 Inversion Table (Blemished)

I am almost 80 years old and have spinal stenoses, a couple of herniated disks and a list of other back issues. My cardiologist recommended I try an Inversion table. Yes, I said cardiologist. He was chewing my butt about the amount of exercise I was getting, while I was explaining that the amount of exercise I do is related directly to my level of back pain. He said that he has had back surgery and still suffers a good deal of pain, but an Inversion table really helped him. I started doing research and quickly decided that Teeter brand of table was the best bang for the buck when it comes to features, construction, design, and ease of assembly. The fact that a renewed one was available at a good price also helped. The first time I tried the table (20 degrees for three minuets) I noticed an improvement in my back. I've been using it three times a day for two weeks now and slowly increasing the angle and the time. My back continues to improve. My wife also uses it with the same good results that I am experiencing. The renewed table we received was like new with the exception of one small part that was cracked but did not affect the operation of the table. A call to Teeter customer service quickly got a new part on the way. Assembly was simple, even for and old man. The inversion table is built like a tank and very simple to adjust for the difference between my wife and my own physical size. I realize that this is not going to cure my back issues, but it is sure making life a lot more comfortable.
