Why Do Chiropractors Use Tables That Drop – Elliott Chiropractic
I’m sure you’ve seen it yourself: a chiropractor that’s adjusting someone by lifting and dropping them with a table. What does it actually do?
There are a few reasons that Chiropractors use drop tables. Here are a few:
Some patients when they come in are in extreme pain
Twisting the spine in a side posture spinal adjustment may not be warranted. This is do to the torque it puts on the spine. Lying face down using a less forceful movement may be needed. Later when the patients pain reduces more forceful maneuvers can be performed.
Patients with fusions, synthetic spinal disc’s or other surgeries may need less torque on the spine
Lying face down and adjusting lessens rotational force that may stretch surgical hardware and surrounding tissues.
The body can be placed in different positions that are difficult without the support of the table
The picture above allows for the upper body to be dropped downward. This slightly brings to tension the spinal segments. When adjusting the mid back this helps with movement in this area.
At our office we usually perform 3 techniques on every patient to maximize your spinal correction
Both manual (hands), drop & instrument adjusting. All techniques at our office are painless and designed to correct your spine.
