EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph from the year 1900 showcases a collection of body-straighteners, also known as halters, designed to correct various spinal deformities and postural issues. The image reveals a range of halters, each unique in design, with some featuring rounded shapes and others more straight and rigid. These medical appliances were intended for patients suffering from curvature of the spine, rounded shoulders, and other similar conditions. The use of body-straighteners dates back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, when the understanding of spinal health and posture began to evolve. These devices were believed to help correct deformities and improve overall body alignment by gently pulling the shoulders back and straightening the spine. The patients would wear these halters for extended periods, often several hours a day. The design of these body-straighteners varied, reflecting the different approaches taken by medical professionals to address spinal issues. Some halters were more comfortable, with soft padding and rounded shapes, while others were more rigid and straight, focusing on applying pressure to specific areas of the body. The choice of design depended on the individual's condition and the medical professional's preference. Despite their widespread use during this era, body-straighteners were not without controversy. Some critics argued that the prolonged use of these devices could do more harm than good, potentially causing further damage to the spine or restricting natural movement. Nevertheless, they remained a popular treatment option for those seeking relief from spinal deformities and postural issues.
