ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for treatment of certain physical conditions by a chiropractor or other health professional in which a patient support, such as a table with separate sections is used to apply a controlled, abrupt force, either singly or in programmed repetition, to assist the health professional in conducting certain procedures on the patient. Force is applied to the patient manually by the health professional but also through the cushion on a separate section of the patient support by means of a double-acting force applying means, such as a hydraulic cylinder. Both the force generated by the apparatus and the total force applied to the patient is displayed so that the health professional can accurately control the procedure and achieve the desired result. The system can be programmed so as to apply a selected number of successive forces at a relatively high rate.
