The drop table technique, introduced in the 1950’s by Dr. Clay Thompson, is one of the most powerful chiropractic treatments available.
As the name suggests, the technique utilizes an adjusting table with segmented drops.
These drops are used to precisely lower various parts of your spine in a rapid fashion, which allows your chiropractor to thrust into the spine at a more powerful speed, but with less force.
An initial thrust kicks the spine into motion, while the table drop targets the affected area of the spine and works it through a full range of motion.
Typical target areas include the dorsal, lumbar, or pelvic areas of the spine.
It is worth noting that the drop table technique, while incredibly powerful, requires no special preparation from the patient.
Your doctor performs a leg check, asking you to flex both legs to full extension in order to compare them.
After the leg check, your doctor adjusts the settings on the drop table to correspond to your weight.
The table is ready for dropping…
And then BAM.
Realignment.
Oh, and one more happy consequence…
Drop table adjustments can even out differences in your legs, which greatly improves your mobility and comfort.
