For a practitioner, having an Air-Drop Table is a huge plus. It is quicker and easier on the chiropractor, and it will save you time and reduce stress on your body.

It reduces adjustment times by accelerating table loading. The physical strain of manually loading a table for each client is reduced as a result. Finally, you'll be able to see more patients every shift, allowing you to see a higher volume for many years to come.

An Air-Drop adds a dimension of intricacy to your technique, which shall be discussed in this article.

If you don't see more than 200 clients every week, an Air-Drop Table may be a luxury rather than a requirement. An air-Drop Table is also appropriate for an older practitioner who wants to reduce their physical burden. Because your body is your toolbox, this should also be a consideration for any young chiropractor.

The beautiful thing about a company like Omni Tables Australia is that their chiropractic tables are fully modular by design, allowing you to effortlessly add the Air-Drop functionality to your Total Drop tables whenever you desire.

It's vital to note that the Omni Air-Drop table is loaded with a compressor, whereas the Stationary or Elevation Total Drop tables are loaded with your lower limb.

Loading by hand vs. loading by foot

Never get a hand loading table, even if you are a low-volume practitioner! You could injure your wrist, elbow, or shoulder, or all three. This is a lesson many chiropractic practitioners learn the hard way, and when an injury does occur, it can require many weeks to heal. Frequent hand loading at greater volumes can result in injury to your upper limbs, which were not meant for this type of repetitive motion.

Because it is analogous to climbing up a stair, your lower leg is considerably stronger and can more easily load a table. Do not get into the habit of loading a table by kicking or moving your foot sideways. When loading a table, always alternate your feet or you'll wind up with one big achilles tendon and a body imbalance.

The Air-Drop tables will pay for themselves and take care of you after 200 patients each week, saving you time and money. The Air-Drop tables load much faster and with considerably less effort. The Air-Drop is more expensive at first, but the savings in terms of health and time make it a worthwhile investment. Consider our Stationary or Elevation Total Drop tables if money is tight. Take notice that buying the table where you intend to finish up is sometimes easier and cheaper.

Air compressor

Another expense to consider is that Air-Drop tables require the purchase of an air compressor. One compressor may run up to four tables at once, allowing you to amortise the expense of the compressor over the number of tables you purchase. If you're only buying one table, this is an unnecessary expense; thus, it’s a good idea to acquire two or more Air-Drop tables to justify the additional cost of the compressor.

The compressor and your power supply are two additional factors to consider. If you lose electricity or your compressor with an electric compressor, you lose the capacity to modify. When acquiring Air-Drop tables, keep this in mind. Some professionals will go so far as to purchase a generator and a backup compressor. While a cheap compressor might get you out of a jam, they usually generate enough noise to wake the dead, so be cautious.

If you lose power, it's unlikely that you'll be able to adjust without computers or lights. Some practitioners work in places where power outages are common, thus having a generator is a good idea. I'm not trying to scare you; I simply want to make sure you're aware of all the issues before buying an Air-Drop Table.

It's important to have the air compressors serviced every 12 months, or anytime the oil in the view window becomes black or discoloured. It's a good idea to drain your compressor once a week and check the oil levels to make sure they're okay.
