ABSTRACT:
A chiropractic apparatus employs first and second measuring devices to determine the amount of anterior/posterior, superior/inferior and lateral displacement of selected skeletal features, particularly the ilia notches, from predetermined reference positions. A patient support assembly employs left and right sole and heel pedal plates rotatable about lateral and longitudinal axes, which allow the operator to position the patient, so as to negate any measured deviations of the skeletal features from the predetermined reference position. A separate upper body alignment device utilizes an overhead target which displays thereon preferred and actual intersections of the major vertical axis running through the skeletal frame of the patient with the pedal plates operated to further position so as to bring the axes into correspondence. Inclination of each pedal plate from the horizontal is read from universal readout gauges which provide data utilized in the construction of heel and sole wedges for insertion into the shoes of the patient. Accordingly, a proper overall position of the skeletal frame is achieved and maintained.
