Claim Text:
1. A computer-controllable laser therapy treatment table, for use in providing non-surgical spinal decompression laser treatment protocols to treat soft tissue damage and herniated disks, said computer-controllable laser therapy treatment table comprising: a frame having a first end, a second end, a top and a bottom; a body support table, said body support table being secured to said frame, said body support table having an opening in said table being at a distance from a periphery of said body support table; an enclosure with an opening into a cavity therein, a portion of said enclosure being fixedly secured to an underside of said body support table, with at least a portion of said opening in said enclosure configured to interconnect with said opening in said body support table; a first linear actuator secured within said cavity of said enclosure and being adapted to drive a carriage on said first linear actuator in a positive and/or negative X-direction; a second linear actuator having a portion being secured to said carriage of said first linear actuator to thereby be movable in the X-direction, and with said second linear actuator being adapted to drive a carriage on said second actuator in a positive or negative Y-direction, said carriage of said second actuator thereby being capable of simultaneous motion in both the X and Y directions; a laser hand-piece comprising a class an attachment means being secured to said carriage of said second linear actuator and configured for thereon providing releasable support for said laser hand-piece; a cushioned gland with a portion being fixedly secured to a top of said body support table, over an entire perimeter of said opening in said body support table, said cushioned gland comprising an opening, at least a portion of said opening in said cushioned gland configured to interconnect with said opening in said body support table; said cushioned gland configured to seal said enclosure and said body support table against a patient's spinal region to prevent laser light from escaping therefrom; a motion controller configured to control said first and second linear actuators, and being usable to position said laser hand-piece along an X direction and along a Y direction and to selectively engage said laser hand-piece to emit laser light through said opening in said enclosure, and to track according to a specific pattern of motion according to one or more pre-programmed treatment protocols to thereby treat spinal soft tissue damage and herniated disks; a spinal traction system configured to concurrently provide traction to a region of a patient's spine; and an adjustable cervical support section comprising:
