    It actually looks a lot like spinal halo-gravity traction which is a modern treatment for childhood scoliosis.

      Might be a ‘right principle, wrong execution’ kind of thing.

    My spine is pretty messed up and this actually looks kind of relaxing/nice for relieving pressure. Is Dr. Clark still offering these apparatuses?

      You can sign up for suspension therapy. It’s copay but by aunt did it for years to treat her back problems. It’s not like this where you’re upright, but you’re held up on your side (EDIT: any prone-oriented position) by slings that raise and lower your hip, lumbar, shoulders, and legs at different angles to get your spine to lean into the “straight” orientation in the lateral direction.

      P.S. never go to Chiropractors. Look for certified physical therapists.

    Why does this look like it came out of either a horror movie or a dark souls boss?

    What, no electricity, radium, or morphine? No wonder it was ineffective.
