Request an AppointmentWhat Is the Thompson Drop Table Technique?
The Thompson Drop Table, also known as the Thompson Terminal Point Technique, uses a specialized treatment table equipped with a segmented drop mechanism. During an adjustment, a section of the table drops slightly as the chiropractor applies a quick, low-force thrust to the targeted area. This drop allows gravity to assist the adjustment, so the correction can be made with much less force than a traditional manual adjustment requires.
Because the table does much of the work, the Thompson technique is gentle, precise, and well tolerated. Many patients appreciate that it avoids the twisting and forceful movements associated with some manual methods, making it especially suitable for those who prefer a more comfortable experience.
