The Thompson Technique is also referred to as a drop table adjustment and is highly recommended by chiropractors to treat joint problems of the body using low force. It’s also known as one of the most common spinal manipulation methods, which use a specialized drop table with different adjustable segments that cover and support each area of your spine. When the chiropractor applies force on the spine, the table moves down and moves a specific part of your spine, which provides you relief from pain.
