I would say it depends on how you feel physically. I had back surgery about 12 years ago and recently bought the Teeter Hangups, and it made dealing with pain a whole lot easier. I wish I had bought it a long time ago. I don't take pain killers or see the chiropractor since I started inverting. If you can try one before buying that would pretty much answer your question. I Love mines.

I can't answer that from a medical standpoint, but I have had 2 broken vertebrae and have two crushed discs with sciatica on both sides and it gives me relief. I have had to put it away for a while as I now have a fractured rib and torn rotator cuff on the left side. I love it and was using it 4 or 5 times a day, sometimes just for a minute or two, but loved the relief. Built like a tank, I'm 250 lbs.

It has been good for my back problem so far. I'm 81 yrs old and for these ole bones it's a great relief. Feels so good after I do my 3 minutes several times a day. It's not a cure but sure beats anything else I've tried.

As far as I know/remember, that is correct. It works here in the U.S. And it doesn't require the liquid stuff, either. I used it quite a bit before having heel spur surgery.

I found the seat to be quite comfortable because of its solid low back support. I have had spinal operations and deterioration and this unit was just great for me. I am 73 and I started with 20 min sessions and now sessions of an hour watching evening news etc are no problem at all.

I have been using this on my lower back for over a year, and it helps me a lot. When I'm experiencing severe back pain, OTC meds do nothing to help it, and I will take prescription pain meds only as a last resort ... and usually not even then. This unit doesn't get rid of severe pain altogether, but the pain lessens significantly so that I'm functional and can get back to my life. If I'm experiencing moderate back pain, this unit can ease that completely.

That is up to you. You can use it whenever you need it for as long as you can tolerate it. I mostly use mine at bedtime, and have fallen asleep bare-skinned for the entire night. I've woken up with it slightly stuck to my back, but had the best nights sleep! Many people cannot tolerate doing that; my husband can't even take it for 2 minutes. I use it for Lupus myalgia and pain from cervical disks. It has been a God-send.

My 21 year old son does have mild back troubles, but this didn't seem to affect it one way or another. However, most medical professionals will tell you to strengthen your stomach muscles to help your back, so in theory, it would work....BUT....as a person who has had three back surgeries, I would think this type of exercise machine a bit too extreme for someone who has serious back troubles. If your back troubles stem from muscle strain, it may help...but if you have a bulging disk, sciatica or spinal stenosis, I would try something less strenuous.

I don't believe so. The stretch you get is more helpful for lower back pain.

Ohhhh yes! It makes all the difference in the world. But be careful. Get someone to run their first and second fingers lightly down your spine as you slightly bend forward. They should be able to feel where the spine is out of line with the other vertebrae (you will know too). DON'T PUT IT ON THE VERTEBRA...but off to the side. Be very gentle and only use it once in the same place. Finish the examination with fingers. I truly believe the more conservative you can be with it the better it works. It is a medical tool and can cause much harm if abused or overdone. It may not work for some people because they may injure tissue and/or knock other vertebrae out by being careless. I also use a brace to support the area. Keeping it in place is much better than using the tool. It has been a lifesaver to me. After suffering for years, I have used it about 6 months. It stays in place much longer than I ever dreamed. A good chiropractor is the key to doing it right, but my back was going out almost at the blink of an eye and I wasn't able to get to one. Good exercise will also make help strengthening the muscles keep it in place. Check Youtube if nothing else. I use it as quickly as I can after it goes out. Since your muscles are trying to keep it from moving, it won't be immediate. If you lie down a time with cold followed by heat in the area it will work as quickly as a pill. I hope this helps.

I have not used it that way but I am sure you can. I bought it for my daughter who has carpal tunnel in both wrist. She said its the only thing that helps here. I use it for my back after 4 spine surgeries and a fusion this is my relief from the pain. My whole family now uses it for all pain. The roll on is so easy to use also. Love this stuff never go anywhere with put it with me

I'm not sure what results you are expecting to see or exactly why you are interested in using this product after your specific surgery, but I would tell you to print out the product details and discuss them with your doctor before purchase or use. This product will stretch your back and spine and can be uncomfortable in the beginning. It did help me but everyone is different. I strongly advise you to check with your doctor first in lieu of your recent surgery.

You definitely should ask your surgeon this question. nearly all of the workouts are full body and many include core twisting and bending. You may be able to modify some of the lighter workouts eventually, depending on the kind of surgery you had you may need to wait. I recommend walking. Lots and Lots of walking just after back surgery. good luck!

I used it for my lower back close to the tailbone area. I'm sure you can use it for the tailbone area also.

I use the back magic twice a day. I use the first level (there are 3 levels). I use it not only to stretch my lower back but also to stretch my thoracic (middle to upper back) due to stress or long sitting at work. Use a pillow for your head when you are using it in level's higher than 1 one or when you're doing the thoracic stretch. Roll off the product when you're done.
