We use pelvic drops for lumbar adjustments, thoracic drops for mid-back, and cervical drops for neck issues. Each section can be tension-adjusted based on patient size and condition requirements.

Seniors, pregnant patients, those with acute pain, and individuals apprehensive about traditional adjustments often prefer this method. The reduced force makes it suitable for fragile or sensitive conditions.

The dropping action allows more specific joint focus with less generalized force. This can improve accuracy when addressing individual spinal segments without affecting adjacent areas unnecessarily.

Beyond standard chiropractic training, chiropractors learn specific patient positioning, table tension settings, and force vector combinations. Mastery involves coordinating hand placement with table drop timing.

We adjust spring tension based on patient weight, muscle tone, and condition acuity. Lighter settings for delicate patients, firmer for athletic builds—all calibrated during initial assessment at our Campbell chiropractic center.

Pelvic imbalances, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and conditions requiring gentle repetitive mobilization often show good response. The method's adaptability makes it useful for various joint stability issues.

We frequently combine it with complementary soft tissue work, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle recommendations. The table serves as one component of comprehensive care plans addressing multiple aspects of musculoskeletal health.
