The quick simplified explanation of how these "back inversion machines" work is as follows. The weight of your body lies flat on the table as you invert. (Your ankles are locked). When you are inverted the force of gravity helps stretch out your body. By stretching the body you decompress the spinal column, providing proper air and fluid flow.
Part of the reason why you may be experiencing pains is because the spine and vertebrae are being compressed, due to poor posture and the effects of gravity. Compression causes pressure on discs and nerves and the end result is the pain you are feeling now.
