Will this table help with upper back pain (shoulder blade area)

We find that pretty much upper back as well as neck issues improve with inversion. I have issues with lower back and bad knees so often couple stretching on the table with laying on blocks and massage .

Not necessarily But it shouldn't hurt unless it's too difficult for you to move or lift

I purchased one of these for rotator cuff issues. It probably could help on the upper part of the arm muscles as well.

Yes it does and so does all the others. If you intend just to occasionally use an inversion table, then folding is practical. Since I run a back clinic, I advise my patients to find a permanent place for the unit. Folding up the table is a royal pain and will tend to make you less likely to use the table. For good on-going back stretches and pain relief, I suggest the use of the table at least 3 times a week. A rep would be the following parameters: 1) 45 degrees 2) go down for 20 seconds 3) come up in setting position for 40 seconds (that's ONE rep), then do only 3 reps until you feel you need to do more. Do no more than 8 reps any one session. Good luck.

I purchased mine a year ago to use when I sit and sew all day. My back does not hurt any more and I just sit on it. If too flat... Just add a pump of air!

Two part answer: 1. It'll work for pressing against the back of the shoulder (sandwiching it between your shoulder and a chair, for instance); against the front of the shoulder would be harder, since you'd have to hold it in place and press pretty hard with the other hand, or something; against the top of the shoulder, I couldn't find a way to apply pressure. 2. I didn't find the pillow very useful for shoulder pain, due to the spacing of the rotating-disks-with-bumps inside. They're spaced well for massaging around the spine, lower neck, and shoulders; a little less well for the upper neck; not so well for one shoulder at a time. In vibrate-only mode, I still found that I couldn't get sufficient pressure (with the "cushion" on the top surface of my shoulder) to transmit either the heat or the vibration to the sore area. If my main problem was pain around a shoulder joint, this cushion would not do a good job for me.

I think it does. I was having an issue with my shoulder, bought this shirt and I had less to no pain while I wore it vs. not wearing it. I don't know if it was just a coincidence but I think it may have worked.

I use it in the small part of my back in my easy chair mostly. When I first ordered it I thought it was for exercising but it is not for exercising of the low back area. I have scoliosis.

Not sure, but all my pain is in my neck and shoulders and it helps ease neck pain significantly. I think it certainly helps.

If you adjust a cane very high to keep you upright, it will lessen the strain on your back. I have a bad back and this helps a lot.

Absolutely try it. Also remember that a lot of neck pain can actually just be shoulder pain referred to the neck. So if you have chronic neck pain, I'd suggest trying some exercises to get rid of it - "Bulletproof Your Shoulder is one good resource for shoulder exercises. Good luck!

Yes. But, as some of my problem areas are on my upper back, I had my husband help. It works great.

I had shoulder surgery so I used it around my shoulder, including two pads on my upper back. Their info sheet includes the back. I think there are issues using it around your spine, especially in the neck area. It is a real "Tens" unit so anywhere they can be used this one should work as well.

I don't know about about back and shoulder pain but the Dr. reconmended it for my neck and it really helped with that.

I have used it on my upper back and shoulder area. It is larger than some others sold. I just put the device where I wanted it and leaned against the chair to help keep the sticky pads in place.

the box really does not mention these parts...I have used it on oppsite sides of the neck with good results on the neck...go on either side of the spine (just like the low back) just below the inside of the top of the shoulderblade- if you go higher you will make the arms jump...put it on the back setting...my dad is 80 years old with no illness and reqested I try...I have also done it on my husband...both said it helped alotI am not a doctor- only a therapist- this is not a perscription just a recommendation

I would have to say yes. I bought mine for my lower back and sometimes I have nerve problems in my knees and buttock area so I invert for a few minuets and the pain goes away. I would think that this would help you as well.
