Asheville Thompson Terminal Point Technique

Dr. Kenton Lawson, DC, and Dr. Sara Lawson, DC, use the unique and highly effective Asheville chiropractic method of treatment called Thompson Technique at Lawson Chiropractic. Dr. J. Clay Thompson developed the method from Dr. Romer Derifield's earlier work to create what can also be referred to as the Asheville Thompson Drop Table Technique and the Asheville Thompson Terminal Point Technique. This technique is a two-step system which emphasizes an in-depth analysis and a directed treatment. This analysis informs Drs. Kenton and Sara Lawson of the specific chiropractic treatment needed for your particular spinal condition or ailments.

The Thompson Technique begins at Lawson Chiropractic with the Derifield-Thompson Leg-Check Analysis. Since any imbalance, however distant, can affect the core, we check the extremities, spine, and hips for subluxations. Each section with possibly harmful chiropractic conditions, such as leg-length inequality, are pinpointed by the Leg-Check Analysis and evaluated for treatment. Subluxations can deter proper function of the joints and the Asheville Thompson Terminal Point Technique can restore normal ranges of motion for the spine and extremities.

Using a special table, high-velocity, low-impact manual thrusts are administered for a spinal adjustment in the second step of the Thompson Technique. Thompson quickly discovered that his unique adjustments were not particularly suited for standard immobile tables. Asheville Thompson Drop Table Technique employs a unique table that drops slightly when the adjustments are applied. The hydraulic system allows for this without compromising the stability of the table. The slight drop mitigates the force of adjustment without compromising its velocity, enabling this pain-free method.

As many chiropractors do around the world, Drs. Kenton and Sara Lawson apply the Asheville Thompson Drop Table Technique, or Asheville Thompson Terminal Point Technique in his chiropractic clinic. Patients report relief from a variety of problems due to effective application of this technique.
