Manual Adjustment: Thompson Technique

Specialty Treatments in Chiropractic Care

This is a specific chiropractic method and is a variation of the Diversified technique that uses a special table with several segments called drop pieces. These segments can be cocked up a fraction of an inch, so when the thrust is delivered, the table will drop this fraction of an inch.

​The object of the drop is to distract (open) the joint during the adjustment. The drop pieces assists the thrust, while minimizing the force required for the adjustment. Cavitation of the joint may or may not occur. 

After completing a leg check analysis, we will determine the type of misalignment- cervical, pelvis, etc. and then adjusts the legs using a combination of multiple thrusts on various joints.

We have specially designed Drop Tables at our Lewisville Chiropractic office to be able to utilize the Thompson Chiropractic Technique for our Patients.  At Shine Chiropractic, we strive to provide the best Techniques to help you with your specific pain or issue.
