Description

  The present invention relates to a trimming instrument for correcting human bone distortion.

The body of a human who has started to walk on two legs to support the enlarged brain is balanced (absorbs the shock) as a whole with the brain as a fulcrum to prevent fractures when receiving an impact. Therefore, distortion is likely to occur not only in the spine but also in the whole body.
Therefore, strain itself is a healthy reaction of the skeleton to impact, but if strain remains, it causes pain and illness depending on the location, so it is the cause to cure such pain and illness. It is necessary to correct (manipulatively) the bone so that it is restored to normal.

In a conventional manipulative operation or a manipulative device, the spine or indirect stretching is performed, and in that case, a predetermined force is suddenly applied (when the bone returns to normal, for example, a sound such as “buzz” is generated. Often).
However, when a rapid force is applied to the distorted portion of the bone, the bone once returns to a normal state. However, since the cartilage between the bones is difficult to be corrected, the bone correction state does not continue. According to the inventor's knowledge that correction of cartilage is important in manipulative treatment (when the bone is distorted, the cartilage is also distorted, and the distorted cartilage compresses the nerve, causing pain and worsening the function of the organ). It is preferable that a force is applied to the device so that the bone including the cartilage is returned to a normal position gradually and gradually over a certain period of time.

As mentioned above, in order to correct the spine in an ideal state over time, in a supine state or sitting on a chair, it consists of a plastic hard plate formed with a solid curved surface that fits the back and waist, A body type that corrects the spine by weight is proposed (see Patent Document 1 below). However, this body type is difficult to be corrected because force is applied to the entire back, and the cartilage is also not corrected.

According to engagement Ru integer-body device in the present invention, depending on the position of the bone to perform corrective and prone state or supine state on the bed of the person receiving the manipulative or bone in this state is distorted on the surface side of the body The pressing element is pressed against an obliquely distorted portion, and this state is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 20 minutes). If the bone strain has returned after a predetermined time, it moves to another strained portion. If pain is felt before the predetermined time elapses, the distortion has already been corrected, and the process moves to a portion having another distortion. In this way, a healthy skeletal structure that includes cartilage (provided that there is cartilage between the bones) and gradually returns the bone distortion to a normal state is not easily distorted (distortion is difficult to return) can do. This orthopedic device is suitable for correcting distortions of the hip joint, sacrum, lumbar vertebra, thoracic vertebra, posterior bone, cervical vertebra and occipital bone.
The weight can be selected according to the person receiving the manipulative treatment.
