Apparatus for applying multi-dimensional traction to the spinal column
A physical medicine table for treating a patient's spine that is capable of providing precise, repeatable, and effective traction force treatment to a patient in multiple dimensions to adjust an unhealthy spinal structure towards a normal, healthy structure. Generally, the spinal structure treatment can be applied to a patient using the described traction device to secure the patient to the adjustable support portions and selectively impart a combination of longitudinal Y-axis traction forces, lateral X-axis traction forces and/or sagittal Z-axis traction forces to the patient using a control system in accordance with a prescribed treatment regimen.

Plantar fasciitis treatment method and device
A device for treatment of plantar fasciitis is provided. The device includes a foot strap, a thigh strap and a resistance band. The foot strap includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface of the foot strap is sized to secure around a foot of a user in between the ankle and toes. The thigh strap also includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface of the thigh strap is sized to secure around a thigh of the user. The resistance band includes a first end attached to the foot strap and a second end attached to the thigh strap. To treat the plantar fascia, the user bends their foot downwards and curls the toes against the resistance of the resistance band.

Cervical collar device for applying a constant upward push force
A cervical collar device for applying a constant upward push force includes a flexible neck brace and a constant upward push force device. The flexible neck brace includes a top and a bottom with a height therebetween, and a first side and a second side with a length therebetween. The height and the length of the flexible neck brace is configured for placement around a neck of a user. The constant upward push force device is positioned inside said flexible neck brace. The constant upward push force is configured to provide a constant upward push force between said top and said bottom of said flexible neck brace.

Portable traction device with sling
A sling of a portable traction device cradles a user's head and includes a pair of shock cords attached at opposite ends of the sling. The ends of the shock cords opposite shock cords are anchored is anchored to a structure, such as a closed door at the hinged side of the door, between the door and door frame, using an anchor, at a height, to generate a tension vector at an acute angle relative to the floor. The tension applies cervical traction.
