Thompson Technique
An adjustment used at Palmer Chiropractic
The Thompson Technique is a gentle chiropractic method that uses a special table to help improve spinal movement and nervous system function. While the patient lies comfortably face down, the chiropractor checks how the legs and feet respond to certain movements, which can provide clues about areas of stress within the spine. The patient may also turn their head from side to side during the assessment. Once the areas needing attention are identified, the chiropractor uses a quick, precise adjustment while a section of the table gently drops. This allows the correction to be made with less force, making the technique comfortable for patients of all ages.
