Best Manipulation Tables
Running a chiropractic or osteopathic clinic means your manipulation table earns its keep every session. Think of it as a specialised chiropractic table: built on our treatment table platform, with a PAR headpiece and lift-up backrest for spinal and pelvic adjustment work, plus castors for easy repositioning between patients.

PAR and Lift-Up Backrest Manipulation Tables
Our manipulation table range is built around the SX Contour, a two-section table designed for chiropractic and osteopathic adjustment work rather than general assessment. Every table in the range carries a PAR headpiece and a lift-up backrest, the two features that separate a manipulation table from a standard treatment table.
PAR (Pelvic Assisted Rotation) Headpiece
The PAR headpiece drops away under light pressure, giving you the release needed for cervical and upper thoracic adjustments without fighting the table. It locks back into a standard position for assessment work, so one table covers both jobs.
Lift-Up Backrest for Adjusting
The lift-up backrest raises independently of the rest of the table, moving a patient from lying to a seated or semi-reclined position for lumbar and pelvic adjustments. It is a manual lift, nothing to service, and locks at the angle you set.
Choosing the Right Manipulation Table
Most clinics only need to decide on width and castors. The PAR headpiece and lift-up backrest are standard across the range.
Table Width and Castors
A narrower table suits a smaller treatment room and a solo practitioner. A wider table gives more working room for larger patients or two-handed adjustment techniques. Every table in the range sits on locking castors, so you can reposition it between patients, then lock it flat for a stable adjustment surface.
Manipulation Table vs Treatment Table
A manipulation table is a treatment table built specifically for chiropractic and osteopathic adjustment work, with a PAR headpiece and lift-up backrest that a fixed or electric adjustable treatment table doesn't normally carry. If your work is general assessment or hands-on therapy rather than spinal and pelvic adjustment, our treatment tables range may be the better fit.
What is a manipulation table?
A manipulation table is a treatment table built for chiropractic and osteopathic adjustment work, fitted with a PAR headpiece and a lift-up backrest for spinal and pelvic adjustments.
What does PAR mean on a chiropractic table?
PAR stands for pelvic assisted rotation. The headpiece drops away under light pressure to assist cervical and upper thoracic adjustments, then locks back for standard positioning.
Why does a manipulation table need a lift-up backrest?
The lift-up backrest moves a patient from lying to a seated or semi-reclined position without a second piece of equipment, which speeds up lumbar and pelvic adjustment work.
What width should I choose for a manipulation table?
A narrower table suits a smaller treatment room and a solo practitioner. Choose a wider table if you regularly treat larger patients or use two-handed adjustment techniques.
