Beds and methods for applying a micro traction force on the body of a user over time to treating or relieve back/spinal pain. Embodiments of a bed according to the present invention provide a section of the bed that is movable relative to other sections of the bed and apply a restorative force to the movable section such that when a user lays on the movable section, the movable bed section is displaced and a tractive force is applied to the user’s body due to a force apparatus applying a force thereto. The movable bed section can be suspended by a tensional support and/or supported by a compressional support in various configurations disclosed herein.
