ABSTRACT:
A vertebrae diagnostic and treatment apparatus. The diagnostic and treatment apparatus includes a controller having inputs selecting various modes of operation of the controller and an indicator providing a display of the initial movement of the vertebrae and the subsequent movement under applied force from the diagnostic and treatment apparatus. A patient engaging device driven by the controller includes a plurality of extensible pads mounted externally on a portable housing. A force detection device, such as a load cell with accelerometer, is mounted within the housing in conjunction with each pad to detect the amount of resistance applied to each pad by the vertebrae of the user. A drive source, such as an electrically operated solenoid, causes extension and retraction of each pad in any desired mode, such as simultaneous, oscillatory or alternating in order to apply a pre-determined amount of force and direction of force to the vertebrae of a patient through the pads to provide diagnosis and treatment for vertebrae mechanical dysfunction.
