Anybody have any experience using inversion tables for bulging discs of the lower back and sciatica pain?

Although I have had back problems (herniated disc) I have alway been interested in this idea. The one concern I have with the idea is that if a person does not know where the actuall bulge is could one put extra strain on the area.  
In my case the arching of my back, as in a big stretch, would cause immediate Charlie horses in my calf as well as along the side of my foot, as well as along the bottom of by foot, and by standing up straight would make them go away almost immediately.  
Good luck, and hope there are some positive responses to your question.

My parents had one I used to borrow when I was a teen. It helped stretch the back and muscles but I ended up falling out a couple times. Honestly you would probably get better results going to a yoga class or two or a physiotherapist and get stretches that are specific to your problem.

I'm have serious back issues with discs and doctor did not recommend because it could cause major problems. I feel your pain. Just saying
