Thompson Drop-Table Technique
Developed by Dr. Clay Thompson in the 1950s, this method uses a specialized table with segmented drop pieces, refining spinal adjustments for comfort and precision. When pressure is applied, these segments subtly drop, aiding in gentle, targeted adjustments without forceful thrusts.
Patients benefit from lying comfortably on this table, allowing Dr. Odom to perform specific manipulations across the body. This technique, while gentle, effectively addresses spinal misalignments, joint dysfunctions, and nerve-related issues. Its precision caters to diverse body sizes and conditions, offering a versatile solution in Dr. Odom's care approach.
