Hi. My chiropractor specifically warned me to never use an inversion table.
Now, I am 62, I have all kinds of injuries from car accidents.
So, his warning may not apply to you.
I don't remember exactly what he said. I just remember asking him whether it was a good idea and what he said in response was enough for me to never consider it.
I think there was talk about "too much blood to the brain" or some such problem, you know...outside of my back and sacro-illiac injuries. Too forceful of a therapy, at least for me.

excerpt:
"Another study published in July (2019) found that inversion caused significant changes in intercranial pressure and blood flow, which the researchers wrote can increase the chance of complications when used in patients with a history of elevated intracranial pressure. For this reason, they recommended that inversion therapy should be used with caution. Increased intracranial pressure can damage the brain."
