Chiropractic Techniques
Thompson Technique
A chiropractic technique that uses a specialized drop table to assist with comfortable, precise adjustments.
The Thompson Technique uses a table with sections that drop a short distance during the adjustment. The drop assists the adjustment, which allows a lighter force to be used compared with some manual methods.
Whether it is appropriate for you is determined by your evaluation findings, history and comfort.
How we decide
Which technique is used — and how much force is involved — is a clinical decision based on your evaluation findings, your history and your body, not simply a preference for a particular kind of adjustment.
