Chiropractic Drop Table Treatments in Okotoks

What is the Chiropractic Drop Table Method?

The chiropractor drop table method is a chiropractic technique that uses a specially designed table with sections that can be raised and then dropped slightly when a quick thrust is applied. This method helps to facilitate spinal and joint adjustments with the assistance of gravity and the table's movement, making the adjustment process smoother and more comfortable.

How Does the Drop Table Method Work?

The drop table method works by positioning the patient on a table with adjustable sections. During the adjustment, the chiropractor raises the appropriate section of the table and applies a quick, controlled thrust to the targeted area. The table section then drops a short distance, helping to enhance the force of the adjustment without requiring a high-velocity thrust from the chiropractor.

What Conditions Can Be Treated With Drop Table Method?

The drop table method can effectively treat various conditions, including lower back pain, neck pain, and hip pain. It is also beneficial for conditions such as scoliosis, sciatica, and joint issues in the extremities. This technique can be especially useful for patients who need a gentler approach to spinal adjustments, such as those with osteoporosis or other conditions that make manual adjustments more challenging.

After a chiropractor drop table method treatment, you can expect to feel relief from pain and improved joint mobility. The adjustment is generally gentle and well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. Some patients may experience immediate benefits, while others may notice gradual improvements over a series of treatments. Your chiropractor will likely provide guidance on exercises and lifestyle changes to help maintain the benefits of the adjustment and support overall health.

What Can I Expect After My Drop Table Treatment?

The primary difference between the drop table method and manual adjustments lies in the technique and the equipment used. Manual adjustments involve the chiropractor using their hands to apply a high-velocity thrust directly to the spine or joints. In contrast, the drop table method uses the table's dropping motion to assist with the adjustment, requiring less force from the chiropractor. This makes the drop table method a gentler alternative, suitable for patients who need a softer approach or have specific health conditions that make traditional manual adjustments less ideal. Drop table adjustments are not used for infant chiropractic adjustments, as we will use hands on extremely gentle adjustment methods.
