Nobody wants to suffer from chronic pain, yet millions of Americans do day in and day out. However, by working with a chiropractor, you may be able to resolve your aches and pains not just in the short term, but also in the long term. Practitioners like Dr. Daniel Baune focus on addressing and resolving the underlying issues causing pain, which can result in lasting pain relief. If you’re in pain and live in or near Lomita or San Pedro, CA, Dr. Baune can use the Thompson Technique and other treatments to provide lasting pain relief.
How Does the Thompson Technique Work?
Some people are surprised to learn that there are, in fact, many different forms of chiropractic care. The Thompson Technique uses a specialized drop table that will move down when force is applied to the body. Generally, chiropractors using this technique will rely on high-velocity, low-amplitude applications of force.
Many patients find the Thompson Technique to be especially gentle on the body. This is due to how force is applied and also the use of the drop table. Since the table drops in sync with the applied force, it can act as a sort of cushion. Usually, the patient is asked to lie on their front on the table, and force is applied to the back.
Chiropractors can work closely with patients to maximize comfort. If something is causing pain or making you feel uncomfortable, you can simply mention it to your chiropractor and they can address the treatment. In practice, however, the Thompson Technique is so gentle that changes are relatively rare.
