My undrstanding is it works best when you constantly shift the spine, it segments the discs up to 3mm. I have 3 that are dried up (black on MRI) and the one holding them up is always prolapsed. A study showed people in my situation considering surgeory, 77% avoided surgery via inversion vs only 22% via normal physio. Dont quote me though, not a Dr, and it really only works for certain back issues, very much like mine. You need blood getting back in carrying mositure. It also takes time.

I wouldn't even consider trying to mess with your back without talking to a musculoskeletal specialist or similarly qualified person to advise you.

The consequences of getting it wrong and doing severe damage could be life altering. I am happy to give you the name of a guy I went to see who helped me after 22 years of chronic backpain.

I would look into the Teeter Inversion Tables. They are the only ones that are cleared by the FDA and UL certified. They've been around a lot longer than the Chinese knock off brands, so they know what they are doing. I'd put trust in their product to hold me while upside down rather than use an inferior table that could break while in that position. I've had my teeter for years and I love it! Best purchase I've ever made! They have a lot of blog posts that talk about what their table can do for your back.
