The "drop technique" is a chiropractic method known as the "drop table technique" or "drop piece technique," introduced in the 1950s by Dr. J. Clay Thompson.
The drop table technique provides a controlled and precise adjustment while minimizing the force applied to the patient's body. It can be suitable for individuals who prefer a gentler approach to chiropractic care, especially those uncomfortable with traditional manual adjustments. Like manual chiropractic adjustments, this technique can help the following:
I was in a severe car accident im my early to mid 20s. Lady pulled out in front of me and totaled my car. Chronic mid back pain went unresolved for many years. Numerous chiropractors and physical therapy, but still had flareups once or twice a month. About 25 years later, I visited Kristen Giles at Giles Family Chiropractic and she gave me one adjustment and the pain went away and has not recurred.

Just started coming here after a car accident last week but so far I love Dr. Kristin and her adjustments as well as the other helpful staff. Easy access to their office off of Redwood road.

Drop Technique is a low-force technique in which you will lie face down on the specially designed chiropractic table with different segments that can be elevated and then dropped. This dropping action provides a rapid but gentle adjustment force to guide the bones of your spine into the correct position and help relieve pressure on the spine's nerves.
The treatment varies from patient to patient as some may notice a change after the first adjustment, while some may have to take several sessions for improvements.
If you have pain related to the spine after an auto accident, the Drop Technique may help you. You may contact Napa Auto Accident Injury Chiropractic at (707) 640-3355 to learn more about the technique.
