ABSTRACT:
An axial loading apparatus for applying a continuous compressive force on top of a patient's head which is aligned with the top of the patient's head. The compressive force serves to strengthen the spine. The patient can direct how much force is applied and for how long the force is applied and as the patient's strength and resistance increase, the weights can be increased and the length of time can be increased. The axial loading apparatus comprises a frame member which has a base portion, a vertical portion affixed, and a top inclined portion connected to the vertical portion. The axial loading apparatus further comprises an actuator mechanism for actuating the load onto the patient's head, a locking mechanism for preventing undesirable loading, and a loading and holding mechanism for loading onto the patient's head.
