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 Latch & So Chiropractic at (415) 912-1716 to learn more about the technique.
Loved this place! I was involved in a bad accident as a child never received the appropriate care for my damaged spine. Eventually got worse over the years and got in the way of playing sports my teenage years. I no longer have severe back pains like before. Truly miss this place! My body would feel brand new, cracked like a glow stick *
SBSan Francisco, CaliforniaI came here for severe lower back pain due to a bulged disc. I did a cycle of treatment and now go once a month and the treatment is fantastic. Additionally, I got a massage here and it was one of the best I have ever gotten in my life. True muscular release that I have never had before. *
CGSan Francisco, CaliforniaDaniel cured a tendinitis I had for 15 years, in only a few sessions! I always come to him for anything related to my spine. I've been to a serious car accident, recently. He made my neck and my back recover really well. Currently, he's doing a decompression treatment to take pressure out of my discs, which is making wonders to my neck and lower back. Give him a try. You will be in perfect hands! The whole staff here is really nice, too. *
AGSan Francisco, CaliforniaI feel like I came to the right spot. I have degenerative arthritis and currently have a pinched nerve in my neck and the combination of Dr.So's adjustments and the masseuse Amy's massage technics , I no longer sit in pain all day any more. This is truly a great find. The pricing is affordable and the atmosphere is very professional. I highly recommend them to any one needing chiropractic work. *
DGSan Francisco, CaliforniaLatch and So is an amazing chiropractor office. From the friendliest of receptionists to the comprehensiveness of the providers' assessment and plan of care, I am impressed with the service and appointments I received with this office. I had Dr. Candice So herself and she was friendly and thorough with my care. I had come to her after a car accident and she helped connect me with the right professionals for assistance and she herself did my treatments. Very easy process and many services (including massage therapy!) provided here. Very glad to have come received my first chiropractic treatments from this team. I would highly recommend them to my friends, family, anyone! *
