The treatment of Poi^te-rior Excurvation of thespine, without caries orother organic disease of the vertebral column, is best conducted bythe use of the instrument here figured (Fig. 516), which is constructedessentially on the same principles as that for lateral curvature, with theexception that the back-plate is so arranged as to press upon the pro-jecting spine, and thus gradually to bring it into proper position. In Posterior Incurvation the apparatus here figured (Fig. 517) willbe found the most useful appliance. In fact, all these varieties of spinalcurvature may be successfully remedied by instruments constructed onthe most simple mechanical principles, if carefully attended to andcarried
