ThompsonThe Thompson Technique, developed by Dr. J. Clay
Thompson, has evolved into a system of analysis and a way of adjusting
the full spine. The combination produces precise adjustments and high
levels of patient comfort. A System of Analysis Early
chiropractors noticed that subluxations would produce the appearance of
a short, or contracted leg. Using a protocol of comparing leg lengths
while the patient turned their head, helped determine whether the
subluxation was in the upper, middle or lower back.Terminal Point TableWhat patients often notice first is our
segmental “drop” table. After stepping onto the platform, the table
gently lowers you into a horizontal position. This helps preserve any
leg length inequality. Individual
cushions or “drop pieces” located along our table surface, support each
area of your spine until the thrust is delivered. Then, each drop-piece
gently gives way, reducing the amount of energy needed to move a
specific spinal segment. Popular and PatentedSo
unique is this approach, Dr. Thompson was granted a patent in 1955.
Since then, because of its precision and patient results, it is a
technique used around the world. |
