ABSTRACT:
An automatic, therapeutic device is provided for treating spinal problems, including problems with intervertebral disks and spinal curvatures. The device is patient interactive, providing circumductive motion including oscillatory lateral flexion, rotation and longitudinal extension and compression of the spine. Patient supports and an adjustable, motor-driven articulated interconnection between the supports are provided, whereby rotation of the interconnection imparts circumducting motion to the patient's spine. The interconnection is a shaft formed by coaxial axles, including a hollow axle and a core axle received therein, which can be adjusted longitudinally relative to each other to adjust the degree of circumduction motion; the speed of rotation is also adjustable. Adjustments may be accomplished while the device is in use.
