Can you use an inversion table after total hip replacement surgery? I have had mine replaced in 2008 right side and 2009 left side. I am no longer in the area where my orthopedic doctor is and don't know who else to ask. cbi231

Hello cbi231,
I can't answer for certain but I think not. I have read where use of an inversion table is unadvisable to THR patients.

I'm sure one of the members will soon respond with a more definitive answer. Until then, hold off on using one.
