ABSTRACT:
A backbone straightening device includes a base plate, a platform member firmly secured to the base plate, and a plurality of circular ring-shaped supporting members. The platform member has a vertical cavity and two obliquely angled cavities. The vertical cavity is formed in a generally central area on a top surface of the platform member and has a rectangular opening in plan view, and the two obliquely angled cavities are respectively formed on opposite sides of the vertical cavity. The plurality of circular ring-shaped supporting members each have a cross-shaped connecting member integrally connecting an inside diameter thereof, and the plurality of circular ring-shaped supporting members are removably fitted in the vertical cavity and in the tapered cavities such that the supporting members are exposed above the platform member and such that upper peripheral edges of the supporting members projecting from the obliquely angled cavities are in contact with upper peripheral edges of at least one of the supporting members which projects from the vertical cavity.
