I had a problem with back and leg pain a few years ago. An MRI showed a cyst applying pressure to the spine at l4/l5. An orthopedic spinal specialist prescribed PT and injection. After a couple of months the pain was worse. I saw a neurosurgeon and he prescribed surgery that was done the same week. That did it. It was one night in the hospital and then sent home with pain drugs which were never needed. It was like a miracle.

The point is it might be worthwhile to get another opinion, maybe from someone like a neurosurgeon/spinal specialist. Good luck!

Spine doc recommended pt for the first attempt. Injections if pt is unsuccessful.

Thanks for sharing your story. Gives me hope.

Thanks to this thread I purchased this table about a month ago, when it was on sale for $97. Took me about 45 minutes to assemble myself, using only the tools in the kit. Only difficult part was attaching the table itself to the stand, without an extra set of hands (wife was traveling). I've been quite happy with the table for alleviating symptoms (pain and numbness due to stenosis) while getting checked out by a spine doc. Will be starting PT next week, but, 10 minutes on the table (8 minutes at 15' and 2 minutes at 30') 2x/day has kept the pain mostly at bay so far. Also started doing some yoga stretching as well... thinking about taking a few yoga classes to learn positions and work on core strength.

Thanks again for the suggestions here.

Hmmmm.... That's quite a lot of positive testimonial... I've been wrestling with some lower back issues for years...
For $125... Might be worth trying... About the cost of 2 visits to the Chiropractor.

Any comments on this one with heated lumbar? Is the heat useful? LINK

The one without heat is only $15 less.. Probably worth the extra $15 to go for the one above? LINK

ETA: When I posted these links the 4800 was showing up at $125 Prime and the 9600 was at $110.
Currently, the 4800 is not coming up as Prime and the prices from 3rd party sellers are a bit under $150.
Guess I waited too long... LOL.
