Treatment Procedure
The Thompson Drop-Table Technique involves a unique chiropractic table equipped with segmented drop sections. Here’s an overview of the treatment procedure:
- Assessment: The chiropractor will perform a comprehensive assessment to evaluate your condition, including physical examinations, reviewing medical history, and possibly ordering diagnostic tests.
- Patient Positioning: You will be positioned comfortably on the specialized drop table, which has segmented sections that can be raised or lowered.
- Segment Adjustment: The chiropractor will apply gentle pressure on specific areas of your spine or joints. This pressure triggers the drop sections of the table to release and lower slightly, allowing for precise adjustments.
- Table Drop: As the drop sections lower, they create a quick and gentle thrust, enhancing the effectiveness of the adjustment and reducing the force required.
- Repeat Adjustments: The chiropractor may perform a series of adjustments using the Thompson Drop-Table Technique, targeting different areas of concern.
Potential Risks and Considerations
While the Thompson Drop-Table Technique is generally considered safe, there are a few considerations to be aware of:
- Temporary soreness: Some patients may experience mild soreness or discomfort following the treatment, which typically resolves within a short period.
- Rare complications: Although rare, there is a minimal risk of temporary aggravation of symptoms or very rare instances of injury. These risks are minimized by the expertise of our chiropractors.
