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 users 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 users 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.
