Can I Use Inversion Table With Non-hodgkins Lymphoma?

I see where someone has asked a similar question previously, I just want confirmation. About 2 years ago I was talking with a nurse on day and mentioned I had an inversion table, she commented that they were nice and had heard that it also allows the lymph nodes to drain so it probably had Heath benifets too. However, I have since been diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma.....so I was just wonderng is there any reason not to use the inversion table....we just recently drug it back out of storage and I have yet to use it since being diagnosed.

I can't think of any reason why you shouldn't be able to use the inversion table, which is typically used for back pain. It would have no significant effect on the non-Hodgkins lymphoma. I have not heard that it helps the lymph nodes drain or that that would be a health benefit. You can use the table if it helps you feel better or if you have a back problem, but not because you think it will help the lymphoma- it won't.

Hope this answers your query. If you have more questions, I would be happy to answer them.
