Thompson Technique
Thompson Technique is a specific chiropractic method and is a variation of the Diversified technique which uses a special table with several segments called "drop pieces." These segments can be cocked up a fraction of an inch, so when the thrust is delivered, the table will drop. The drop pieces assist the thrust while minimizing the force used for the manipulation/adjustment. With this technique, cavitation may or may not occur following the thrust.
