Expand your clinical skill set with Adjusting & Manual Therapy 210: Drop Table Technique — a 2-hour online chiropractic CE course taught by Donald Ozello, DC, CCN, CCSM. This course reviews the clinical foundations of drop-table adjusting, including Thompson/drop-table concepts, the Derifield-Thompson leg check, drop-table tension, HVLA principles, and regional technique applications for the cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, pelvis, costovertebral joints, and hip.
Designed for chiropractors who want practical, anatomy-informed instruction, this course connects the history and mechanics of drop-table technique with patient positioning, doctor ergonomics, contact points, tissue slack, vectors, and clinical decision-making. You will review when drop-table approaches may be useful for patients who are heavier, extremely mobile, limited in range of motion, geriatric, unable to tolerate side-lying positions, or difficult to reposition on the treatment table.

Drop-table adjusting is a widely used chiropractic technique that combines patient positioning, drop-piece mechanics, analysis, and controlled manual contact to help deliver efficient adjustments with reduced impact on the doctor’s body. In this course, Dr. Ozello reviews the origins and benefits of drop-table technique, including Thompson technique principles, Newton’s First Law of Motion, leg-length analysis, and the use of drop-table mechanics in clinical care.
The course then moves into regional anatomy and applied treatment procedures. Chiropractors review cervical, thoracic, lumbar, pelvic, costovertebral, and hip-related drop-table applications, including contact setup, patient positioning, doctor stance, tissue slack, breathing instructions, thrust direction, and practical considerations for selecting drop-table procedures in patient care.
