Thompson Drop Technique
Gentle, Precise Adjustments with Advanced Drop-Table Technology
The Thompson Drop Technique is an innovative chiropractic method that utilizes a specialized drop-table to provide gentle and effective spinal adjustments. This approach combines advanced technology with expert precision, offering a comfortable and efficient way to realign the spine and restore balance to the body.
At Physical Healthcare of Jacksonville, our chiropractors are highly trained in the Thompson Drop Technique. If you’re recovering from an injury or managing chronic pain, this method offers a safe and non-invasive solution for achieving lasting relief and improved mobility.
What is the Thompson Drop Technique?
The Thompson Drop Technique focuses on precise spinal adjustments using a segmented drop table. This table is designed with sections that gently drop down when a controlled force is applied, allowing for smoother, less invasive adjustments compared to traditional manual methods.
This technique is rooted in the principles of spinal biomechanics and aims to correct misalignments, reduce nerve interference, and improve overall function. By integrating gravity-assisted movements and targeted adjustments, the Thompson Drop Technique delivers effective results while minimizing discomfort.
Key features include
- Segmented Drop Table: Each section of the table corresponds to a specific spinal region, ensuring targeted care.
- Controlled Adjustments: The drop mechanism allows for smooth, gentle realignment.
- Patient Comfort: This method eliminates the need for twisting or forceful movements, making it ideal for sensitive conditions.
How Does the Thompson Drop Technique Work?
The Thompson Drop Technique is performed using a specialized drop-table mechanism and expert chiropractic assessment:
- Evaluation and Diagnosis: Your chiropractor will conduct a detailed assessment, including spinal alignment checks and leg-length analysis, to identify areas of dysfunction.
- Targeted Adjustments: Using the drop-table, the chiropractor applies precise pressure to specific areas of the spine or pelvis. The table drops slightly in response, allowing for smooth, gravity-assisted adjustments that are both gentle and effective.
- Follow-Up Care: After each adjustment, your chiropractor monitors your progress and provides personalized recommendations for supporting your recovery.
