Drops, Flexion, and Traction: Understanding Chiropractic Table Features

Chiropractic tables can include specialized features that general treatment tables do not offer. Drops, flexion distraction, traction, and decompression-style capabilities each support different clinical goals.

What are drops?

Drop sections allow specific parts of the table to release during chiropractic techniques. Chiropractors may use cervical, thoracic, lumbar, or pelvic drops depending on their adjusting style.

What is flexion distraction?

Flexion distraction supports controlled spinal movement and positioning. Some chiropractors prefer manual flexion, while others want automatic movement for consistency and reduced effort.

What is traction or decompression?

Traction and decompression tables are designed for clinics offering spinal therapy programs that require controlled distraction forces and structured treatment protocols.
