A Perfect Combination for Chiropractic
High Velocity Thrust (HVT), also known as High-Velocity Low-Amplitude (HVLA) manipulation, is a commonly used technique in chiropractic. This technique involves rapid, controlled force applied to a joint to improve mobility and relieve pain. The Manuthera 242 treatment table provides chiropractors with the ideal support to perform this technique effectively and safely.
What is High Velocity Thrust?
HVT is a technique in which the chiropractor makes a quick, short movement to manipulate a joint. The goal is to restore the joint’s normal range of motion and improve nervous system function. The audible “creaking” of joints results from the release of gas bubbles in the synovial fluid.
The Role of the Manuthera 242 Treatment Table
The Manuthera 242 treatment table is specially designed to support chiropractors in various manipulation and mobilization techniques, including HVT. This table offers unprecedented flexibility and precision, allowing each treatment to be customized.
Benefits of the Manuthera 242 at HVT
- Versatility: The Manuthera 242 offers a wide range of adjustment options, allowing chiropractors to adapt the table to the specific needs of each patient. This allows for both deep corrections and subtle adjustments.
- Ergonomics: The table is designed with the ergonomics of both the patient and the therapist in mind. This provides a comfortable position for the patient and reduces physical strain for the therapist.
- Precision: Advanced features, such as electronic tilt and 3D rotation movements, allow chiropractors to perform highly precise manipulations. This is essential for the effective application of HVT.
- Safety: The Manuthera 242 is equipped with synchronous lifting motors and an advanced traction system, ensuring smooth and safe movements during treatment.
“Treatments are super with the Manuthera 242. 3D mobilization of the spine is easier and a good preparation for the high velocity thrust. Patients experience this as well and are amazed at the possibilities. Even in older patients where an HVT is not possible, I still get good results.”

How does the Manuthera 242 work at HVT?
The Manuthera 242 uses gravity and the body’s natural movements to decompress the spine and mobilize the joints. This makes it possible to perform HVT techniques with minimal force and maximum effectiveness. The table also provides support for specific techniques such as the Diversified Technique, Gonstead Technique and Thompson Terminal Point Technique.
