The Drop Table Technique at Menner Chiropractic
The Drop Table Technique focuses on the full spine by using an adjustable table that lowers the part of your body that corresponds to the spinal area that is to be adjusted. The main areas that are treated are the pelvic, dorsal and lumber regions.
This method has grown to be loved because it is not painful and uses the least force, because the thrust brings about movement whereas the fast drop will help the joint go through the rest of the required motion.
How Does The Drop Technique Work?
The first part of the procedure is the measurement of the length of both your legs. The reticular system in your brain is responsible for bringing about balance. The facilitatory and inhibitory systems of the reticular system bring about balance of your body’s muscles.
An imbalance in neurological system affects the muscles of your legs where your legs appear imbalanced – the legs are not equal in length.
This is brought about by over stimulation of muscles. The measurement of your legs helps us determine the kind of adjustment to use on the drop table.
Treatment
We will place you on a drop table in a standing position which will then lower you to where you are lying with your face down. This helps in comparing the point where your heel and shoe meet on each foot.
- Your doctor will continue with the adjustment guided by the movement of the drop piece.
- The drop piece table will be set depending on your weight and fastened.
- Your practitioner then places a contact hand/lever on the segment of the drop table.
- When a thrust is applied, this segment of the drop piece table drops gently which helps in removing the subluxation – the inflammation or disorder – by transferring the force by which the table is dropping to your joint.
