ABSTRACT:
A method for alleviating neck discomfort includes the steps of removably attaching at least one pad to a rigid posterior force applicator to set a thickness of a combination of the pad (or pads) and the posterior force applicator to produce lordosis adjustment in a patient experiencing neck discomfort so as to cause a neutral head and neck orientation of that patient, disposing an anterior force applicator, having a substantially continuous, rigid frame with an open central region, on the patient with an upper region of the frame approximately at a lower costal region of the patient and a lower portion of the frame approximately at the symphisis pubis of the patient, and connecting the anterior force applicator to the posterior force applicator with straps at opposite lateral sides thereof with the posterior force applicator approximately at the L3 vertebra of the patient to effect such lordosis adjustment and said neutral head and neck orientation.
