What Is the Thompson Drop Table Technique?

The Thompson Drop Table Technique is a chiropractic method that utilizes a specially designed table with segmented sections called "drops." During an adjustment, these sections briefly release or "drop" a small distance as pressure is applied, allowing the spine and joints to move with less force than traditional manual adjustments.

Developed by Dr. J. Clay Thompson, this technique provides a comfortable and effective way to restore proper motion and alignment to the spine and pelvis.
