I bought the silly thing about 25 years…

I bought the silly thing about 25 years ago at the Del Mar Fair. I liked it so much I bought a second one for work. It brings immediate relief to my back pain. After about 20 years, one of them started to leak. I contacted the company and they sent me a replacement at no charge. My daughter is a physical therapist and she likes them too. I'm writing this because I just used it again today and I was so happy to have it that I thought I would send this review.

Thank you, thank you, thank you...

Hey Ronald,

I just wanted to express my gratitude for this great product.

I purchased my back bubble almost 15 years ago in San Diego after being inspired by the Del Mar County Fair.

Two days ago, I woke up with severe back pain (8/10), and at first, I tried to self-medicate with ibuprofen 800 mg three times a day, but it didn’t do anything.

So I went to my garage last night and hooked up my back bubble, used it in the inclining position, and I was pain-free instantly. When I was hanging in there for like 20 minutes, I felt pretty good, but of course the pain came back an hour later, but at least I was able to sit in front of the computer.

Today I was able to add some stretching, and now, four hours later, I am pain-free.

I really cannot believe it, and that is why I am contacting you — just to say thank you!

These days I’m living back in Germany, and I would love to see you selling the back bubble over here because it does work.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

All the best,
Holger

Back Bubble is a game changer!

Back in the early 90’s I worked as a manufacturer’s representative and was on the road driving ALL of the time. I would grunt and groan in stiff pain in my lower back while I struggled getting out of my car let alone trying to stand up straight, which was a huge challenge everyday! The Back Bubble changed that and made it so I could hop out of my car and stand straight up with no effort. It was a game changer for me!! I met and purchased my first Back Bubble from Ron Chase back in 1995 at the Del Mar Fair in San Diego. Ron was straight up with me and had me try a demo. I was amazed at how my lower back felt, pain gone.
Fast forward, I am now a retired 66 yr old avid runner in 5k, 10k, half and full marathons. I spend considerable time in Wisconsin helping out with relatives and friends. While in Wisconsin I qualified for the Boston Marathon and ran it in April 2022. The only thing missing was my Back Bubble as I left it at home in California. I’m training for Boston again and there are several exercises that I do to minimize running injuries, and the Back Bubble is one MAJOR tool in my tool box. Oh how I missed it while in Wisconsin, so I ordered my second Back Bubble from Ron Chase who returned and took my order on a Sunday within 10 minutes of me leaving a message for him. Ron is a personable, concerned, customer focused owner. Ron explained my options and I decided on the physicians model.
I am so thankful for the day I met Ron Chase at the San Diego Fair expo. I’ve referred several of my family and friends. You have one life, one body, and many options on how you choose to take care of it, especially as we all age. “I won’t let the old man in”, and Ron’s Back Bubble has helped me keep “him” out. Highly recommend the Back Bubble.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the BEST product I have ever recommended as a chiropractor!…

Reviewed in the United States on Januay 5, 2023
Color: BlackStyle Name: Physician Model Back Bubble
After practicing chiropractic for over 30 years and as a California Qualified Medical Examiner, I can say that lumbar traction is the most effective therapy for most low back conditions. This Back Bubble device is an absolutely ingenious invention that allows individuals to treat their back pain themselves with gentle traction in the comfort of their own home! It works effectively and almost immediately without the risks of potential serious complications, side effects and contraindications that come from using all the other inversion type traction devices. I absolutely love it. I personally use it and recommend it to all my patients. It could even save you thousands of dollars in unnecessary and expensive therapy treatments. I even joke to my patients that the Back Bubble would likely put a lot of chiropractors out of business if more people used it.

25 years of relief

I purchased the Back Bubble some 25 years ago at a golf expo. It's held up exceptionally well, however of late it's lost a bit of air so I'm getting a new one. I have 2 severely degenerated lumbar discs and I'm a passionate golfer and hiker. The Back Bubble, reliably providing instant and sustainable pain relief as well as increased flexibility, has allowed me to continue in these and other activities at nearly 100%. I'm turning 70 in a couple of weeks and still going strong. Great product.

RELIEF !I heard about the Back Bubble from my…re

I heard about the Back Bubble from my brother who said it worked wonders for him. I was a bit skeptical, but after herniating a disc and being very uncomfortable for about 10 days I decided to try it. I used the Back Bubble a couple of times a day with immediate improvement and after a couple of days my pain was gone. Now ,if I have recurrent back pain ,I will use the Back Bubble with similar results. What a relief!
Literally.

I have used this for months for back pain relief.

My Back Bubble

I purchased a "Back Bubble" in San Francisco 20 years ago. Having had issues with my lower vertebrae
for some time I thought I'd give it a try. My first thought was, "will this work?"
Let me tell you that I have used it religiously for the past 20 years and it has never disappointed me!
Today, I needed a part and was thrilled to find out that
Ron is still servicing his product and is passionate about it.
Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

After many years I am still using the Back Bubble

I have worn a heavy work belt for 27 years which has caused me to have continued lower back pain. I bought the Back Bubble about 16 years ago after trying just about everything. I found it offered me the ability to gently and safely stretch my lower back and relieve the nagging pressure from my disc pain. I would recommend this product to anyone who struggles with back pain. After all these years, I go to the Back Bubble before the tense unit

I would not do without my Back Bubble

I have been experiencing back problems for 40 years with many visits to the chiropractor. I have degenerative disk disease in the lower back. I have to be very careful how I bend over to lift anything or the muscles will spasm and I'll be on the floor and not able to move. I've been doing home exercises for years which helped some and then I discovered the Back Bubble 5 years ago and it really made a difference. I use the Back Bubble first thing in the morning and right before doing my back exercises and it really makes a big difference. I spend less time with the chiropractor now that I can get great relief at home by using my Back Bubble everyday. I also use the Back Bubble right before going to bed which helps. I wish I would have discovered the Back Bubble sooner but the last five years having it have been great. I highly recommend the Back Bubble to anyone with back problems because it really decompresses the spine and gives you great relief.

I have used the back bubble for almost 20 years. It gives me instant pain relief where and when I need it, especially in my lower back. Very easy to use and install. When I have questions, I always get a very helpful response that I can trust. Most recently I contacted The Back Bubble store to purchase a replacement chin bar that had disappeared during out remodel. The service was excellent.

I purchased my first BackBubble about…

I purchased my first BackBubble about 24 years ago at a horse show at Griffith Park, Los Angeles, CA. We were at a horse show and my back was killing me for about a week. There was a BackBubble demonstration there and I stepped into the Bubble for about 15 minutes just to see if it worked. I got out, my back felt fine and then asked how much it was (forget the exact amount) and thought it was too much money and left. My family and I walked a few hundred feet and my son nine years old at the time said, "Dad is your back hurting, and I said no". My wife and my son said go back and buy it is not too much money if it works! She knows I have back problems from working in construction for many years.
24 Years later I am still using the BackBubble to fix my periodic back pain in as little as a day or two. FYI, the original bladder just failed to hold air after 24 years. We bought a replacement bladder.
If you have lower back pain, this works. I have never written an approval for any product, however this works.
Thank you, Ron.

Back Bubble still good after 20 years

We purchased a Back Bubble nearly 20 years ago and have used it frequently over the years to relieve my wife's chronic lower back pain without medication. We had a ring installed into a ceiling brace in a walk in closet to allow quick access when needed. The door mount was not available at that time. The Back Bubble is simple to use, and provides quick relief when it takes pressure off the spine. The results for my wife have been best in the inverted position. Walking into and out of the traction positions becomes easy after the first few tries. We are replacing the bladder after nearly 20 years of use, and, since there is essentially no other wear on the Back Bubble, we expect to be able to use is for many more years.

To expensive

This product gives a Good stretch but it's no miracle cure .
My Biggest problem/Complaint is
The hardware used to hang the bubble.
I'm a mechanic for the railroad and if someone sent me parts like this I would send them back !
These hardware parts are cheap,cheap,cheap !!!
The crews strip almost as soon as you get tension on them.
You Do NOT get that nice hanger from the advertisement/commercial .
So know that you will need to hang this in a doorway which is a pain !
You will need to use the backbubble in a doorway, so if you don't have the room it could be inconvenient !
You will need to predrilled the holes .
So you will need a drill,drillbit and a screwdriver.
Other then cheap hardware and it being a pain to hang
((The backbubble itself is a quality product.))
Luckily I can afford the price but I think it may be to expensive for some.
I stretch daily so in
My opinion, if you stretch daily you won't need this .
If it was half the price I would be all in but at its current price it's just
To expensive.
