A spinal traction device (10) can include a harness (14) including a waist support panel (18) which is securable to a user proximate the user's hips. The spinal traction device (10) can also include first and second flexible tension members (16a, 16b) coupled to the harness (14). A support structure (12) includes stabilization legs (30a-c) and an upper support frame (24) which supports the first and second flexible tension members (16a, 16b) at a predetermined support height and further includes a harness height adjustment mechanism. The first and second flexible tension members (16a, 16b) can be supported by the support structure (12) at a spaced horizontal distance from one another, such that the harness height adjustment mechanism facilitates movement of the user's hips above the user's upper body such that at least a portion of the user's upper body weight serves to traction at least a portion of the user's spine. Other embodiments provide for support of a user's lower body and adjustability of the traction of the spine.
