Thuli Tables

What Thuli Tables does

Thuli Tables is a privately held, founder-led manufacturer of high-performance chiropractic adjusting tables and accessories, founded in 1987 by Rick Thuli, D.C. and headquartered in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. The company designs and hand-crafts all products at its Wisconsin facility using oak or walnut hardwood, non-toxic components, and Swiss-engineered motors on its elevation line. Its product portfolio spans five table categories — portable (Tour, Sport, Junior, Tour Conversion Base), stationary (300, 500, 300 Incline), elevation (350, 550, 650), treatment (2000, 3000, 4500 Treatment Elevation), and flexion distraction add-ons — plus a deep ecosystem of accessories (portable drops, pregnancy pillows, pediatric drops, bolsters, travel cases, custom colors, logos, and name plates). Pricing spans $675 to $6,400 per table.

The company's commercial model is direct-to-consumer and quote-based: customers configure and order via the website, telephone, or email, receive a quote including shipping, and arrange payment separately (no online payment processing). Thuli does not use distributors or resellers, accepts credit/debit cards, PayPal, Zelle, wire transfers, and checks, and accommodates customer-arranged leasing. Sales are backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects and supported by U.S.-based replacement parts and repairs. Distribution is global, with shipping to at least 20 countries across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific, and a customer base described as tens of thousands of chiropractors worldwide.

Customer acquisition is anchored by a foundational partnership with Palmer College of Chiropractic (which commissioned the Speeder Board in 1987 and remains a gold-standard training tool) and a broader network of chiropractic colleges and universities globally. The company segments its market by use case — Students, Starting a Practice, Scaling a Clinic, Mobile Chiropractic, and Pregnancy & Pediatric — and supports buyers with comparison tools, a "Find Your Table" quiz, video tutorials, and active social media presence (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram). The business is family-owned with no external institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue or headcount figures.
