The Thompson Drop-Table Technique uses a special chiropractic table with sections that rise slightly and then drop a fraction of an inch as the adjustment is given, so less force is needed. Dr. Jacob Thomas, who completed Thompson Basic training in 2025, offers it at Cascade Chiropractic in North Lima, Ohio.
How it works
Dr. Thomas starts with a careful leg-length and posture check. During the adjustment, a table section drops slightly, helping the joint move with less force. Many patients describe it as a quick, gentle bump.
Commonly used for
- The pelvis and lower back
- Mid back and neck
- Patients who prefer less twisting
