ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, a static or passive spinal alignment device includes a first elongated section and a second elongated section spaced therefrom. The first section and the second section are each dimensioned to buttress a respective side of a patient lying supine on a generally flat surface. The side buttressing straightens the alignment of the spine and maintains the spine of the patient in a spaced relationship to the surface between the thoracic vertebra and a sacrum of the spine. Body weight then urges the spine downwardly to reduce lumbar lordosis. Means are provided for attaching the first section to the second section and for supporting each of the first section and the second section on the surface.
