A chiropractic adjusting chair includes bracing for restraining lateral movement of the legs of a person seated thereon, for aiding in the manipulation of various areas of the spine of a patient by a chiropractor, therapist, or other health professional. The chair includes a base (which may be adjustable for height), a seat, and a pair of adjustable extensions for generally immobilizing the legs. The extensions are preferably adjustably mounted to the underside of the seat portion such that they are adjustable longitudinally and arcuately in horizontal and vertical planes. The forward or distal end of each extension is provided with a padded brace for holding the lower extremities of the patient. The extensions are then adjusted to limit the movement of the patient's lower extremities, thereby stabilizing the lower body during the spine or upper body manipulation procedure and precluding or greatly reducing rotation of the legs and pelvic areas of the patient. The braces at the distal ends of the extensions may comprise various forms, such as generally L, U, or circular configurations, as desired and depending upon the degree of leg restraint desired.
