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:
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, the Drop Technique may help you. You may contact Neck Pain, Back Pain, Headache Relief Center at (707) 800-4477 to learn more about the technique.
I came in with a bulging disc and in severe pain and at the end of my rope. Dr. Ridgeway recommended spinal decompression therapy and over the course of my treatments I am feeling so much better! My pain is gone and I have regained full mobility without surgery or any invasive procedures. Thank you Dr. Ridgeway! *

kat m.Santa Rosa, CaliforniaDr. Mike has helped me tremendously. After a failed back surgery in 2019, I once again had a bulging disc and pinched nerve and was experiencing debilitating back and sciatic pain and was unable to move around without severe pain. I was concerned about the possibility of another back surgery and the reliance on pain medication. Using the latest technology, Dr. Mike was able to decompress my spine using the Accu-Spina machine. Dr. Mike provided an alternative to traditional medicine, helping me to avoid another horrific back surgery. He provided an effective non-surgical treatment that I will be forever thankful for. He is very knowledgeable and professional and he keeps up on the latest technology. I am so thankful for his expertise and care. I highly recommend Dr. Mike. *
