Brooklyn Thompson Technique

The Thompson Terminal Point Technique originated from J. Clay Thompson, an innovative chiropractic doctor active mainly in the mid-20th century. Pioneered by the analytic work of Dr. Romer Derifield, the Thompson Technique is a comprehensive analysis and treatment program.

The Thompson Technique in Brooklyn chiropractic care, used by Dr. Carey Skorski of Bay Ridge Holistic Healthcare, can be broken down into two steps. First, is the analytical portion in which involves a check of any subluxations from leg-length inequality, also called Derifield-Thompson Leg-Check Analysis. The treatment that follows is the Thompson Drop-Table Technique. The Brooklyn Thompson Technique experts can design a treatment program that is adjusted to your specific needs as a patient.

The Thompson Leg-Check Analysis, performed by the Brooklyn Thompson Technique professionals, checks for any subluxations in the back, hips, and legs. Any joints or connections that are out of place can throw off the core of the entire body. Though the actual process is too complicated to go into detail, the main goal of the analysis is to reveal any underlying chiropractic issues in the body that can be potentially harmful to you. Treatment using the Thompson Technique in Brooklyn will alleviate these subluxations along your spine that may be affecting the movement in your hips or legs.

The Brooklyn Thompson Technique, also called the Drop Table Technique, has been used in other chiropractic practices, but is generally used in conjunction with the Leg-Check Analysis. The basic process of the Thompson Technique in Brooklyn utilizes a table that performs spinal adjustments using a high-velocity, low-impact touch. Thompson created a unique table, equipped with a hydraulic support system, for this treatment. When the chiropractor applies a quick force onto the patient’s spine, the table drops down slightly all while holding the patient in place on the table. The drop is to accommodate the force that is being applied to the spine without any strain. It also allows for the chiropractor to exert a high-velocity force without causing pain to the patient.

Dr. Skorski is knowledgeable in both the historical methods and the modern adaptations of the Thompson Technique in Brooklyn. He utilizes the Drop Table Technique commonly in his practice of spinal adjustments.
