Abstract
A spinal traction and exercise device adapted to be secured about the spine for imparting the desired lordotic shape into the cervical, cervico-thoracic, thoraco-lumbar, and lumbar regions of the spine and manipulating the spine and surrounding tissue to promote fluid and cellular exchange in and around the intervertebral discs. The device includes a cervical unit and a thoraco-lumbar unit and is designed so each unit can work independent of each other or in conjunction with each other. The device includes a frame, upstanding neck and back supports carried by the frame inflatable bladders carried by the neck and back supports, restraining arms or straps for securing the device to the user's body such that the bladders are disposed below and adjacent the user's spine, and means for selectively inflating and deflating the bladders to force the cervical, cervico-thoracic, thoraco-lumbar and lumbar spine to curve forwardly and apply angular/circular traction to the spine. The method of the present invention results from operation of the device.
