What is the Thompson Technique

     The Thompson Technique, also know as Thompson Terminal Point, is a full-spine chiropractic adjusting technique that uses high-velocity, low amplitude, adjusting procedure using a drop table to assist in the correction of vertebral subluxation.  Using the drop table allows the doctor to use less force, decreasing doctor fatigue and making it easier on the patient. At the heart of the Thompson Technique is the Derifield leg check, adapted from the original work of Drs. Weldon & Romer Derifield and Dr. Alivin Niblo.  


     The Derifield leg-check analysis enables the practitioner to differentiate between cervical and pelvic involvement.
