Thompson Technique

The Thompson Technique uses a treatment table built with segments that drop slightly the instant your chiropractor applies pressure. That small, timed drop adds a gentle assist to the adjustment, so less manual force is needed to move the joint.

Treatment starts with a posture analysis — checking how your spine, hips and legs sit and move to find where movement is restricted or your body is out of balance.

Once the restricted segment is identified, your chiropractor positions you on the corresponding section of the table and applies a quick, controlled thrust. The table drops a fraction of an inch as they do, adding momentum to the adjustment without extra force from their hands.

You'll likely feel warmth in the treated area right after the adjustment. Some people feel looser after a single session; others need a short course of visits, depending on how long the restriction has been building and how your body responds.
