ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for reforming a spine includes an actuating unit with two recesses respectively defined in each side thereof. Two belts are respectively and securely received in the recesses to enable the actuating unit to be secured round the waist by a belt buckle. A driving device is disposed within the actuating unit. A ram is telescopically fitted to an upper end of the actuating unit and either a chest supporting frame or a cervix traction pole is attached to one end of the ram. The drive device is operated to cause the ram to be moved up and down and the distance between the ram and the actuating unit is changed and thus applies force on the spine to reform the spine.
