Description

Chiropractic device {Apparatus for spinal column remedy}

The present invention relates to a spinal orthodontic device, and more particularly, to a spinal orthodontic device that is formed to conform to the normal spine of a lying person and can support and correct an abnormal spine.

The human spine consists of the cervical spine, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, and sacral vertebrae, and generally has an S-shape. As shown in FIG. 1, the cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae, forming a convex cervical vertebrae 12 towards the chest. The thoracic vertebrae are located at the lower part of the cervical vertebrae and consist of twelve vertebrae, forming convex thoracic vertebrae 14. The lumbar spine is located at the lower part of the thoracic spine and forms a convex lumbar curve 16 towards the chest. The sacral vertebra is composed of five vertebrae connected to one, and forms a convex sacral curve 18 toward the hip side.

Unlike the spine of other animals, the human spine is heavily loaded by walking upright. In particular, a lot of spinal diseases occur due to sitting or working for a long time or incorrect posture.

In order to treat such spinal diseases and to alleviate low back pain, spinal correction devices and waist guards have been proposed.
