Abstract: An apparatus for performing spinal decompression has a slanted surface coupled with opposing arm supports for receiving a user, or a grab bar, for suspending the user on the slanted surface under the influence of gravity, responsive to the user's weight. The amount of spinal decompression accomplished can be adjusted by varying the angle of the slanted surface, preferably by providing opposing ends of the table with legs, at least some of which are adjustable. The opposing arm supports and the grab bar are preferably adjustably associated with the slanted surface, for maximizing the user's comfort and for accommodating users of different sizes, and can be padded for added comfort and convenience. The apparatus can be made portable, for storage or transport. The apparatus can be provided with one or more heating pads to apply heat to the upper body, the lower back or the arms of the user.

Abstract: An attachment arrangement is described which converts the reciprocal motion of a reciprocal saw into oscillatory cutting motion of a circular blade. The circular blade is provided between circular sleeves, which limit the depth to which the blade can cut into a substrate. Using this arrangement, wallboard may be cut without reaching studs, wires or pipes situated behind the wallboard.
