-Low Force Drop Table-

Developed by Dr. J. Clay Thompson, the Thompson Technique has shown to be useful for those sensitive to the Diversified Technique. The Thompson Technique is a form of chiropractic care that uses a special segmental drop table. The segmental drop table "drops" slightly underneath the patient upon application of a force through the joint in order to reduce stress on the body and increase movement within the vertebral joint itself. The segmented drop table also elevates into an upright position, allowing patients to stand on a platform parallel to the bed. The patient is then lowered into a prone position as the bed returns to horizontal position. With the use of the Thompson Technique and the segmented drop table, Dr. Wilhelm is able to offer his Bozeman, Belgrade, Manhattan and Gallatin Valley patients multiple options for their treatment and care.
