Drop Table is a gentle chiropractic adjustment technique which utilizes a special table. which has several sections that are specific to the areas to be adjusted (ie, neck, mid-back, etc). These sections area lifted by the chiropractor prior to delivering the adjustment and a tension is set for the piece. When the Doctor sets up to adjust, lifts the appropriate section, sets the tension, then slowly adds pressure. The section of the table will release thus dropping down! When the table section stops the momentum of the body will continue (yeah physics!); it is this momentum of the body that is actually used to perform the drop table adjustment.
Chiropractic Biophysics was invented by Don Harrison, DC and this technique utilizes a multi-modal approach. The aim of this technique is to reverse specific bad postures using exercises, adjustments, and traction. In reversing these postures you body will be in a better condition to operate in its full ability.
After a complete analysis utilizing a special x-ray analysis and a specific device (Nervo-Scope), the Gonstead chiropractor determines which area will need to be adjusted, then the Doctor will deliver a specific adjustment. There are a variety of special tables and chairs of which the Gonstead Doctor will utilize to adjust the patient. The Gonstead technique is as specific, precise and accurate addressing only the areas of subluxation.
Chiropractic often stresses the importance of nerve interference in the spine, but neglects that it may also occur in the extremities. The Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (CCEP) seminar series presents practical objective-based solutions for treating the extremities. The seminar series teaches how diagnosis and treatment is made simple through understanding the biomechanical functions of each joint. This simplified process utilizes muscle tests as indicators for adjusting, providing instant feedback for patients when their strength returns immediately.
The CCEP consists of seven 15 hour seminars plus an exam. Doctors are welcome to sit any section of the program for their continuing education hours without sitting for an examination. Being an expert in extremity adjusting may not be for everyone, but being knowledgeable about extremities can enhance all doctors' understanding of how easily spinal problems can be a result of poorly functioning extremities.
