Drop Technique is a popular and comfortable way for many people to experience the benefits of a  chiropractic adjustment.

 

Although all chiropractic adjustments share the same speed, which is essential to reset joint movement, the amount of pressure applied varies between techniques. Drop technique uses a special feature on certain chiropractic benches, which are spring-loaded cushions, to release tight joints with minimum force. During the treatment, the cushion under the problem area is set to meet the patient's weight and raised slightly, and the practitioner applies a quick impulse in the right direction to correct the joint movement while the cushion drops.
