The Thompson Drop Table Technique Chiropractic Adjustment

See how the Thompson drop table technique works in this video from Dr. Scott Taylor of Southwest Spine & Rehab. This gentle adjustment uses a special table with a drop mechanism. When the lever is engaged, the section under the patient drops slightly to mobilize the spine.
Dr. Taylor demonstrates on the sacral/SI joint and explains how the dropping motion allows for precise targeting of the joint needing mobilization. The loud noise may seem jarring but patients report the technique feels comfortable. It's ideal for low back issues when patients have difficulty laying on their side.
The Thompson drop table adjustment can also be used on the cervical and thoracic spine. It's suitable for elderly patients, pregnant women, and those who don't tolerate diversified thrust adjustments well.

Would this be okay for a spondylolisthesis

Can this be done on someone with metal on their back?

[@southwestspinerehabchiropr1960]

Great question! It really depends on the specific case and type of metal. It's best to consult directly with a chiropractor to discuss your particular situation.
