Based on over 50 years of research and clinical use, drop piece adjustments are lighter, gentler, and without many of the twisting positions that
can accompany diversified adjusting.
Thompson Chiropractic Technique uses a drop piece in the table to help adjust joints that are not moving normally.
During
a drop table adjustment, the table is first set to the patient's weight. The doctor then places the contact hand on the
segment to be adjusted. A gentle thrust is applied, setting that area of contact into motion, which in turn, activates the
drop piece. When the drop piece stops, the force of gravity, combined with the force of the doctor's thrust, is translated
into the targeted joint and the soft tissue of the body, producing the desired change in the joint and the surrounding muscles.
