Chiropractor's specialise in treating the musculoskeletal system aka muscles, joints, bones and ligaments. They not only provide aid for existing problems but also work to prevent future problems from arising. Chiropractor's manually manipulate the spine and other areas using their hands or instruments to apply force to the specific area of focus, moving the joint into the required direction for optimum alignment.
This is when the right table can aid a chiropractor tremendously. The most advantageous of chiropractic tables are '
drop section tables.'
What are drop section chiropractic tables?
Drop section tables allow the practitioner to raise specific areas (such as the spine and pelvis). The chiropractor then places manual force onto the required area, which then automatically drops the table section back down again through a gravitational pull with the patients body following. The quick gravitational pull created by drop section tables after manual manipulation is enough to allow the area to achieve realignment.
There are many different tables that target certain people, problems and age groups.
With that being said, lets get into some key features and differences between 3 tables below.
