I had scoliosis all of my life and then bought an inversion table. When I first used it everyday, I was on it for twice a day for like 20 min. just to get better flexibility to my back. Then after about 1 month, I started haveing pains in my stomach area. I eventually went to the chiroprator and the x-ray showed my back as perfectly straight. The pains went away and I am totaly sold on the inversion table to straighten the back, just do it for 5 min. a day though. but this may take care of your problem.
