Abstract
A spinal insert provides for a method of spinal adjustment to adjust inter-vertebral spacing and alignment of vertebral bodies relative to a pre-determined reference line determined from measurement including but not limited to the pelvic incidence, pelvic tilt, and C7 plumb line. The device includes an upper arm and a lower arm extending outwardly from a base section defining a frame. An adjustment member is positioned between the upper arm and the lower arm. The adjustment member has a plurality of distinct lengths measured straight through a center of the adjustment member. The adjustment member is rotatable wherein an angle between the upper arm and the lower arm is selectively adjustable by rotation of the adjustment member. Spacing of vertebral endplates using a plurality of the frames described permits adjustment of the vertebral bodies to a desired angle relative to the pelvic orientation of an individual patient.
