Patients often appreciate the smooth, controlled nature of Thompson adjustments, making it an ideal option for individuals who prefer a gentler chiropractic experience.
Whether you’re dealing with back pain, posture issues, joint dysfunction, or chronic discomfort, the Thompson Technique provides a reliable pathway to improved mobility and long-term spinal health.

What Is the Thompson Technique??

The Thompson Technique, developed by Dr. J. Clay Thompson, is a chiropractic adjustment method that utilizes a drop-table mechanism to assist in precise and comfortable spinal corrections. The table is divided into sections that gently lift and drop a fraction of an inch as your chiropractor applies a specific adjustment. This drop motion enhances the effectiveness of the adjustment while minimizing the force felt by the patient.
Key components of the Thompson Technique include:

  • Leg-Length Analysis
    Used to identify imbalances, subluxations, or pelvic misalignments.
  • Drop-Table Assisted Adjustments
    The gentle drop mechanism allows smooth, accurate corrections with increased comfort.
  • Segmental Spinal Evaluation
    Each region of the spine is assessed to ensure proper alignment and motion.


Benefits of the Thompson Technique include:

  • Improved spinal function and mobility
  • Better weight distribution and posture
  • Reduced nerve irritation
  • Enhanced joint mechanics
  • Comfortable, low-force adjustments suitable for many patients


This method is safe, controlled, and highly effective for people of all ages, including those who may not tolerate traditional manual adjustments.

Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan to meet your health needs. We can help treat a variety of conditions including:
