Thompson

The Thompson Technique, developed by Dr. J. Clay Thompson, has evolved into a system of analysis and a way of adjusting the full spine. The combination produces precise adjustments and high levels of client comfort.

A System of Analysis

Early chiropractors noticed that subluxations would produce the appearance of a short, or contracted leg. Using a protocol of comparing leg lengths while the client turned their head, helped determine whether the subluxation was in the upper, middle or lower back.

Thompson Table

Terminal Point Table

What clients often notice first is our segmental “drop” table. After stepping onto the platform, the table gently lowers you into a horizontal position. This helps preserve any leg length inequality.

Individual cushions or “drop pieces” located along our table surface, support each area of your spine until the thrust is delivered. Then, each drop-piece gently gives way, reducing the amount of energy needed to move a specific spinal segment.

Popular and Patented

So unique is this approach, Dr. Thompson was granted a patent in 1955. Since then, because of its precision and client results, it is a technique used around the world.

Dr. Anthony Asks some important questions of interest to Philadelphia residents - Chiropractor Philadelphia Dr. Anthony Asks...

How come medical doctors don't recommend chiropractic?
That's changing. Years of prejudice and bias are giving way to research showing the benefits of chiropractic care. As more and more Philadelphia folks seek alternatives to drugs and surgery, more and more medical practitioners are referring their patients to chiropractors.
How long will you need chiropractic care?
You'll need chiropractic care as long as you live in Philadelphia and encounter physical, chemical or emotional stress that you cannot adapt to or accommodate. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
