Roger, I'll have to look into that. My mom rented him a hospital bed so he can stay down stairs. Their room is upstairs and he was having big issues before he had the surgery. I'm sure that hospital bed isn't comfortable at all either.

I'm no doctor, and I can only pass on what worked for me. I'm an extreme user, going fully vertical suspended from my ankles like a bat as opposed to reclining at some lesser angle, and as a result I don't hang very long. I've learned to totally relax my muscles in my back to let the joints decompress, and that takes away the pinched nerves for me. I actually went to sleep on it once, waking after about 45 minutes! My feet were "asleep", and I had to give it a minute or two for the dizziness to abate, but my spine was definitely decompressed!! Basically if traction in a hospital bed is a consideration an inversion table accomplishes the same thing without all of the sand bags, pulleys and cables and harnesses.

Again, it works for me, but might not be right for your Dad. He should probably chat with his doctor about it before using one.
