A logarithmically increasing decompression force is applied to a spinal column in a progressively changing direction lying in the mid-sagittal plane. This focuses the decompression force as compared with a straight-line pull. A table to achieve this decompression force has a fixed table section, a moveable table section, a reciprocating arm which acts as a movable pre-tension section, a vertically adjustable upstanding support supported by the pre-tension section, an attachment point attached to a tensionometer-head associated with the upstanding support for attachment to a harness, a moveable table section drive for extending the moveable table section from the fixed table section and for retracting the moveable table section toward the fixed table section, a reciprocating arm drive for extending and retracting the reciprocating arm from the movable table section, and an upstanding support drive for driving the upstanding support to different vertical positions.
