ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a portable spinal adjustment apparatus and method for assisting a user thereof to adjust the user's spine. The apparatus includes an elongate member which defines a substantially convex substantially rigid surface which is disposed between a first end and a second end of the elongate member. The convex rigid surface features a radius of about 2 to 4 inches, thereby defining a first side and a second side, and a length suitable to cooperate with and transversely support a body region of the user. The first end of the elongate member supports the elongate member during use thereof such that the convex rigid surface is facing upward, and the second end of the elongate member also supports the elongate member during use thereof such that the convex rigid surface is horizontal. So disposed and defined by the present invention, the convex rigid surface manifests an arcuate fulcrum, whereby employment thereof combined with the effect of gravity and simple leverage, the user is assisted in adjusting the user's spine.
