Dynamic halo gravity traction system and method

A modular and mobile halo traction system comprising:

• a halo ring coupled to a pulley system movably connected to a support assembly, the halo ring for dynamic traction coupling of a patient's cranium during use of the system;
• first and second support members configured to support a portion of the body of the patient in an upright position during use, the first and second support members spaced and coupled by a connecting support member wherein the halo portion is movably connected with the connecting support member via said pulley system;
• a biasing system comprising a biasing member disposed within a biasing member housing that is coupled to one of the support members and said pulley system;
• and
• a force adjustment assembly comprising a fixture plate movably selectively coupled to said biasing housing, and said fixture plate being fixedly attached to said biasing member, and a tension selection pin for coupling said fixture plate and biasing member to a desired tension with said biasing member housing.

A method of providing modular and mobile halo traction system for reducing spinal deformity of a user, the method comprising the steps of:

• suspending a halo portion comprising a ring for supporting a portion of a patient's body during use with a first and second support members;
• coupling and spacing said first and second support members with a connecting support member;
• the halo portion movably coupled with the connecting support member by a support line;
• providing a biasing arrangement comprising an inline biasing member disposed within a biasing member housing that is coupled to one of the support members by said support line;
• and
• adjusting the tension in the biasing arrangement with a support plate that is coupled to the biasing member within the biasing member housing.
