ABSTRACT:
A traction device for providing relief to the spinal column in which a person is suspended from the midsection over a pair of support pads. The angular position of each support pad is independently adjustable, thereby enabling the stretching effect of the traction device to be specifically tailored for the particular injury being treated. A control mechanism for adjusting and locking the angular position of each pad, and a pad with a generally saddle-shaped profile is described.
