Have you ever heard of the Thompson Technique?
It’s one of the most gentle and precise ways chiropractors restore proper motion and alignment to your spine — without the twisting or cracking you might imagine!

Using a special “drop table,” this method allows your body to realign naturally with minimal force. Perfect for those with sensitive joints, seniors, or anyone nervous about adjustments. What is it?

Instead of relying on heavy manual force, the drop mechanism uses gravity and momentum to achieve the adjustment. Benefits
✅ Gentle & Comfortable – Ideal for patients who prefer a lighter adjustment or are nervous about manual “twisting” techniques.
✅ Precise & Targeted – Drop pieces allow highly specific corrections.
✅ Efficient – Adjustments can be completed smoothly and quickly.
✅ Safe for Many Conditions – Often used for seniors, children, and post-surgical patients.
✅ Encourages Proper Alignment – Helps balance the pelvis and spine, improving posture and nervous system communication. https://www.facebook.com/reel/747448573863186

Hands-on or instrument-assisted?
Learn how each method restores alignment and eases pain. ✋⚡

1. Manual Chiropractic Adjustments
The chiropractor uses their hands to apply a controlled, sudden force to a specific joint.
Often involves a quick thrust or a short lever motion to mobilize the joint.
Benefits:
High precision—allows for fine-tuned adjustments based on palpation and patient feedback.
Can adjust a wide range of joints and ranges of motion.
May provide immediate improvement in joint mobility and pain reduction.
Considerations:
Some patients may find it uncomfortable or intimidating.

Mechanism:
• The high-velocity thrust stretches joint capsules, ligaments, and muscles.
• This stimulates mechanoreceptors—sensory nerve endings in joints that detect movement and position.
• Activation of these receptors sends signals to the spinal cord and brain, which can:
• Reduce abnormal muscle tension around the joint
• Improve motor control and coordination
• Modulate pain perception through the central nervous system

Effects:
• Often produces an immediate sense of relief and increased range of motion.
• Can help “reset” hyperactive or imbalanced reflexes in muscles.
• May reduce nerve irritation from misaligned vertebrae, improving communication between the brain and body.

2. Instrument-Assisted Adjustments
Uses a spring-loaded or mechanical instrument (e.g., Activator, Impulse devices) to deliver a gentle, controlled force.
The instrument delivers a rapid, low-force impulse to the joint.
Typically used on the spine, extremities, or sensitive areas.
Ideal for patients who prefer a gentler approach or can’t tolerate manual thrusts.
Benefits:
Lower risk of discomfort, bruising, or muscle guarding.
Can be used on children, elderly patients, or those with certain health conditions.
Considerations:
Usually doesn’t produce the “crack” sensation, which some patients associate with effectiveness.
May be slightly less versatile for certain complex spinal restrictions compared to skilled manual adjustments.

Mechanism:
• Gentle impulses stimulate the same mechanoreceptors, but without a high-velocity thrust.
• Provides low-level sensory input to the nervous system, which can still:
• Relax muscles
• Improve joint motion
• Reduce pain signals transmitted to the brain

Effects:
• More subtle than manual adjustments but still effective for nerve modulation.
• Ideal for patients with sensitivity, post-surgery conditions, or chronic low-grade pain.
• Can be used repeatedly without overloading joints or nervous system signaling.

3. Strategic Combination
Many chiropractors blend both approaches:
Manual adjustments for major spinal restrictions or high-impact joints.
Instrument-assisted adjustments for sensitive areas, extremities, or as a gentler follow-up.
This hybrid approach maximizes safety, comfort, and treatment effectiveness for a wide range of patients.
