Do you think the drop table technique works like HVLA? And if its not gonna change your bone alignment why is there some video shows some scoliosis, kyphosis or imbalanced legs can be corrected after few treatment? Is it because the proprioception resets the biomechanics of the body so the muscle and nerves start to sending new signal to pull the bone back to right the place?
Yes, drop table is similar to HVLA, from my understanding. You are right in that it is the soft-tissue/muscular changes that are likely leading to the improvements seen in idiopathic scoliosis and kyphosis cases.
So they teach you how to do this as part of ostepathic school? I am trying to decide between MD and DO. Would an MD need to take additional training to be able to practice HVLA?
Great question! Yes, they teach you this technique, and many others, in osteopathic medical school. You would not learn this at MD school, but there are courses for MDs who want to learn OMT.
