By connecting the waist elevating belt 30 to the distal end of the waist with the detachable metal fitting 21, the waist suspension treatment device shown in FIG.
Can be easily assembled and used. The footrest 40 can also be easily and easily assembled and used.

The lumbar suspension treatment apparatus assembled to an appropriate height as described above (see FIG. 1) is disposed on a mat M such as a bed or a floor at a treatment site as shown in the figure, and A footrest 40 (left side in FIG. 1A) and a head mat H (right side in FIG. 1A) assembled to an appropriate height size are arranged on the sides, and the treating person places both feet on the footrest 40 and the head. Is placed on the head mat H, the waist is arranged on the waist elevating band 30 on the mat M, and the waist is turned upward. If necessary, the waist elevating band is connected to the base end of the elevating cord 20 by the detachable metal fitting 21 for treatment. I do.

More specifically, first, the treating physician holds the handle 12a from the side of the waist-hanging treatment apparatus, and
, The take-up drum 15 is rotated at a required low speed via the input shaft 13a, the reduction gear mechanism of the speed reducer 13 and the low-speed output shaft 13b, and the take-up drum 15 moves the lifting cord 20 up and down. It is guided by the pulley 6 and is wound at a required low speed, and the waist elevating belt 30 at the tip end of the elevating cord 20.
When the waist of the therapist rises smoothly at the required low speed without difficulty and reaches the required height, the rotation operation handle 12 is stopped by lightly grasping the rotation operation handle 12 or automatically operating the rotation stopping means 12b. After the waist lifting band 30 and the waist are maintained at required heights for treatment, the rotating operation handle 1
2, the take-up drum 15 is reversely rotated at a required low speed, and the waist elevating belt and the waist can be smoothly and smoothly lowered at a required low speed, and the same operation can be repeated by operating as described above. it can. After the treatment of the lumbar region by the treating physician, the treating person can easily operate and treat the same.

In raising and lowering the waist band and the waist,
Since the grip 12a is used to rotate and operate the rotary operation handle 12, the treating physician can easily and smoothly operate the rotary operation handle 12 from the side of the waist-hanging treatment device, and the physician himself can easily and easily perform the same operation. Can be operated smoothly. A speed reducer 13 is provided between the rotation operation handle 12 and the winding drum 15 on the low speed side.
(For example, a reduction gear mechanism is built in), the suspension load applied to the winding drum 15 from the lifting / lowering cord 20 side is significantly reduced on the rotary operation handle 12 side, and the rotation operation handle is somewhat reduced. Even if there is a variation in the rotation speed, the rotation speed at the low-speed winding drum 15 side does not cause any particular difference in rotation speed, and the rotation speed is almost maintained at a required low speed. Operability and therapeutic performance and reliability are effectively enhanced as well as operability.

In the treatment of low back pain such as lumbar disc herniation, it is usually necessary to carry the lumbar disc to the clinic or the home of the healer and use it near the healer. There is a need to improve the operability as well as the handling properties such as transportation, such as the necessity of operating a long-lasting treatment device. It can be lifted and lowered at the required height, and the weight of the upper body part added to the lumbar region of the physician can be eliminated, the muscles of the lumbar region can be relaxed, and even moderately, the lumbar region can be held in a tensioned state. The curability can be improved. In addition, when the footrest and the head mat are applied to the waist suspension treatment apparatus having the above-described structure, a suitable function corresponding to the above-described problem required in the treatment of low back pain is obtained, and the patient is completely cured earlier. In addition to overall excellent handling performance, operability, therapeutic performance and reliability are obtained.

The detachable fittings 4, 5, 11, 21 are not limited to the illustrated example, but various mechanisms can be applied. The specific deceleration mechanism and the rotation stopping means of the speed reducer 13 are not limited to the above description, and various mechanisms can be applied.
