Thompson Technique in Peachtree City
Experience the Gentle Precision of the Thompson Technique
The Thompson Technique, developed by Dr. J. Clay Thompson, is a unique method of spinal analysis and adjustment that offers precise corrections and a high level of patient comfort.
Understanding the Thompson Technique
A System of Analysis
Early chiropractors observed that subluxations often caused a shortened or contracted leg appearance. By comparing leg lengths as the patient turned their head, they could determine whether the subluxation was in the upper, middle, or lower back.
Terminal Point Table
When you first visit us for a Thompson Technique adjustment, you’ll notice our segmental “drop” table. After stepping onto the platform, the table gently lowers you into a horizontal position, preserving any leg length inequality. The table features individual cushions or “drop pieces” along its surface that support each segment of your spine until the thrust is administered. Each drop piece then gently gives way, reducing the energy required to move a specific spinal segment.
What Sets the Thompson Technique Apart
Thanks to its precise approach, the Thompson Technique has been globally recognized since Dr. Thompson patented it in 1955. Its combination of leg check analysis and unique adjusting procedures makes it stand out from other chiropractic methods. Patients often appreciate its gentle nature, especially those who prefer not to be adjusted using techniques that involve more forceful maneuvers.
This method is suitable for patients of all ages, from children to seniors. The table’s “weighing” system ensures that the drop pieces are set just slightly heavier than the patient’s body weight, allowing for a gentle yet effective adjustment.
We often use the Thompson Technique in conjunction with other natural healing modalities, tailoring our approach to fit each patient’s unique needs. Some techniques work better for certain patients, so having multiple options allows us to provide the most effective care.
