Traction bed

A traction bed comprising:

• a frame upon which an individual is supportable;
• a first level arm and a second lever arm each pivotably coupled to the frame at a location proximate a first end of the frame and configured to be coupled to one or more locations on an upper torso or arms of an individual;
• a third level arm and a fourth lever arm each pivotably coupled to the frame at a location proximate a second end of the frame and configured to be coupled to one or more locations on a lower torso, a pelvis or legs of the individual;
• a control system operable to direct a force onto each of the lever arms to pivot the lever arms relative to the frame, wherein the force directed to each of the lever arms is separately variable;
• and
• a fifth lever arm coupled to the frame at a location proximate a side of the traction bed and configured to be coupled to a location on the individual and to impart a lateral traction force on the individual.

A vibration table comprising:

• a frame;
• a platform movably coupled to the frame;
• a vibration device;
• a linkage positioned between the frame and the platform, wherein the platform is supported upon the linkage, wherein the vibration device is coupled to one of the platform or the linkage for displacing the platform primarily along a single axis, wherein the linkage comprises four lever arms, wherein the vibration device is located in a center of the frame, wherein the four lever arms are arranged in an X-shape such that each lever arm has a first end supported on the vibration device and a second end supported on a pivot coupled to the frame or supported by the platform;
• and
• a controller for independently adjusting a frequency and a magnitude of vibration imparted to the platform by the vibration device.
