{"title":"Manipulation Tables","description":"\u003cp\u003eRunning 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!--split--\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePAR and Lift-Up Backrest Manipulation Tables\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePAR (Pelvic Assisted Rotation) Headpiece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLift-Up Backrest for Adjusting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the Right Manipulation Table\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost clinics only need to decide on width and castors. The PAR headpiece and lift-up backrest are standard across the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTable Width and Castors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eManipulation Table vs Treatment Table\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.
