What is a Drop Piece Table?

You might have noticed that our Chiro’s use specialised equipment to help us with our adjustments. One of the key tools we utilise is the drop piece chiropractic table - which is so much more than a standard massage bed or body work table.

What is a Drop Piece Table?

These tables are designed with distinct sections that cater to different areas of the body, including the neck, upper back, lower back, and pelvic region. Each section can drop down about 1-2 centimeters when pressure is applied by the chiropractor, allowing for precise adjustments.

For instance, when adjusting the thoracic region, the table drops sharply after contact is made, facilitating movement of a vertebra in a targeted direction. This technique operates on the principle that a joint in motion remains in motion; as the chiropractor guides the movement, gravity assists in delivering a more effective adjustment.

Customisation for Individual Needs

One of the standout features of our drop piece tables is their adjustable tension settings. This allows us to tailor the force of each adjustment, providing either a gentler or more assertive approach, depending on what suits each individual’s needs.

Benefits for Various Patients

Drop piece tables are particularly beneficial for older adults and those experiencing acute pain, as they enable softer adjustments while minimising strain on the chiropractor’s body. This innovative design helps us maintain high-quality care without the risk of repetitive strain injuries (which means we can keep doing what we love for longer!).

The Purpose of Chiropractic Adjustments

At Blossom, our adjustments aim to restore proper mobility to joints that may not be functioning correctly. This can alleviate nerve irritation, reduce inflammation, and ease surrounding muscle spasms. Our goal is to support you on your health journey, helping you regain function and mobility.

Our drop piece tables are just one of the many tools we use to assist you in reaching your wellness goals. Book an adjustment with us see it all for yourself.
