Abstract:

A chiropractic table system for providing effective treatment of sacroiliac joint pain in a patient. The chiropractic table system generally includes a table with an upper opening, a first support member extending through the upper opening and a second support member extending through the upper opening. The support members engage the hip portion of a patient lying upon the table. The support members are separated thereby separating the sacroiliac joints, then the support members are counter-pivoted with respect to one another thereby torquing the hip portion of the patient and then the support members are quickly lowered a distance to set the hip portion of the patient as desired.

International Classification:

A61F 500

US Classification:

606237

Abstract:

The invention comprises a chiropractic table having a main table with a pair of slots in the upper surface of the table and a chiropractic back engaging spinal treatment mechanism is mounted in one slot and a lower posterior engaging sacral iliac treatment mechanism is mounted in the other slot. The back spinal treatment mechanism comprises a pair of back engaging ridge members in the slot with the upper edges of the ridges projecting above the upper surface of the table for the back of a patient to rest upon on opposite sides of its spine. The ridge members are movable downward and bilaterally away from one another in reaction to frontal pressure upon the patient with stop members at the outer end of their movement with springs urging the ridge members back toward one another whereby a treatment operator may press down on the chest/arms of the patient and the impact reaction upon the ridge members will produce the ridge members to separate apart while engaging the patient's back on each opposite sides of the spinal column to cause realignment of spinal sublucated components of the patient. The lower posterior sacrum engaging mechanism for the sacrum of the patient to rest upon comprises a pair of posterior engaging ridge mechanisms for engaging the sacrum posterior of the patient and reactive to downward pressure upon the patient to spread bilaterally apart to engage medial posterior superior iliac spine of the patient's sacral iliac joint tor realigning the same.

Abstract:

A chiropractic device having front and rear portions, a central semi-circular raised portion extending upwardly from the upper surface of the device and notches formed in the sides of the front portion of the device. A patient rests his or her torso on the device by placing his or her sternum on the central semi-circular raised portion of the device. The device has first and second sides, each side having a front side portion, a middle slanted side portion extending outwardly from the front side portion to define a notch in the front portion of the device, and a rear side portion. The patient's arms are accommodated by the notches formed in the sides of the front portion of the device. The central raised portion places the patient in a superior position for treatment and protects the patient's chest from being pressed against the upper surface of the device during treatment.
