I also have a friend with chronic back issues and he loves the inversion table. (I think it's a lot less scary than those old ones where you hung in the doorway!) It actually makes sense to me. We spend our whole lives with our spine in one direction, and the force of gravity constantly pulls it down. Seems like tilting upside down and letting gravity work the other way would let those joints stretch and let the discs in between adjust. I've never tried it, but I would!
