Can I Use an Inversion Table After Botox?

April 16, 2009
Asked By:Sue in Brooke in Brooke, VA

I typically use the inversion table (basically a headstand) every other day, which allows me to hang vertically upside down. This helps my spine and neck. I just got Botox 2 days ago and was planning to wait for 2 weeks before using the inversion table. Will this cause a problem with my Botox (got some forehead, crows feet and middle frown lines done).
