Spinal Demonstrator
Concept Therapy offers the Fleet Spinal Demonstrator, which "sets the
stage" between the DC and the patient to understand and work together toward
chiropractic health. The vertebrae are mounted on a solid cast aluminum upright, curved in
a similar manner as a normal spine. A mechanical ball-and-socket joint allows free
movement in all directions. Rubber tubing represents the spinal nerve trunks between the
vertebrae and the intravertebral disk. Movement of a vertebra results in a visual
pressure on the nerve. It can be adjusted so the patient can see the immediate restoration
to the nerve trunk, allowing health-restoring energy to flow to all parts of their body.
The demonstrator is 34 inches long and weighs 35 pounds.

Spinal Orthosis
FLA Orthopedics offers System-Loc™ LSO Spinal Orthosis, which provides
immediate pain relief from degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, radiculopathy,
sciatica, lumbar disc dysfunction, spondylolisthesis (spondylosis), acute or chronic
strains, and lumbar instability. The orthosis protects soft tissues, reduces flexion and
rotation, and decreases forces on the discs. The ambulatory traction and hydrostatic lift
provided by the System-Loc alleviates pain and increases rehabilitation by providing
effective stabilization and unloading weight and pressure off of the spine. Rigid anterior
(front) and posterior (back) panels stabilize the spine and restrict range of motion. Its
v-shaped anterior panel in conjunction with the patented strapping method provides
abdominal compression and creates a “hydrostatic lift” to relieve the load and
stress on the spine. Transferring the load from the lumbar region reduces pain and
discomfort.
