Hoop for self-applied chiropractic care

Abstract

An apparatus for self-administering therapeutic pressure to provide chiropractic treatment to a user comprising a first and second side rails; wherein the first and the second side rails are parallel to each other, further the side rails comprises a fixable telescopic arrangement to fixedly adjust length of the side rails; a font cross rail, wherein the font cross rail acts as a thrust vector to provide desired pressure by the user; a back cross rail comprising at least one acupressure tip aligned substantially parallel to the side rails, wherein first and second side rails, the font cross rail and the back cross rail form a closed frame, whereby the adjustable side rails provide fixable adjustment of the frame depending on the user's needs. An upper cross rail, wherein the upper cross rail further comprises first padded upper rest points to act as a fulcrum between the font cross rail and the acupressure tip during the chiropractic treatment to a user's lower spinal area, whereby desired therapeutic pressure is self-administered by the user to provide chiropractic treatment to various body areas through the acupressure tip. In the preferred embodiment, this is through the use of the hoop formed by the rails that extends around the body and is held in front of the self-treating person, with the angles of the side rails extending down the side presenting a ready measure of the angle of the treating instrument on the spine.
