A Thompson Drop Adjustment is a chiropractic technique that uses a specialized chiropractic table known as a Thompson Drop Table. This technique is designed to enhance the precision and effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments, particularly for the lumbar spine, pelvis, and lower extremities. Underneath each segment of the table, there is a drop piece that is raised slightly during the manual adjustment. When the chiropractor applies the thrust, the drop piece quickly releases, creating a drop in the table's surface. This drop allows the joint to move slightly, reducing the force required for the adjustment while enhancing precision.
An activator is a small handheld instrument that can deliver a gentle low force adjustment to the spine. The activator can be used as an alternative to manual adjustments. This method can be used on those who have preexisting conditions that manual adjustments are contraindicated or for those who are hesitant of manual adjustments.
