The Difference is in the Technique
Most patients are familiar with the traditional adjustment technique which refers to when a doctor of chiropractic manually adjusts patients. With the manual adjustment method, chiropractors will exert force and thrust with their hands and body weight to open up spinal joints which creates cracking and popping sounds. This can be painful and uncomfortable for some patients.
Torque Release Technique (TRT), developed by Dr. Jay Holder D.C, M.D, is a newer chiropractic method that uses a specialized handheld recoil tool called the Integrator, which is gentle on patients spines and targets pain points with more precision while in a relaxed face down position.
What is Torque Release Technique (TRT)
Torque Release Technique (TRT) is a non-invasive method for correcting spinal subluxations. By restoring the tone of the central nervous system and associated muscles, TRT offers a gentle approach to address spinal issues without joint manipulation.
The central nervous system is a communication highway that connects your brain to the rest of your body and also plays a big role in the body’s natural healing process. When subluxations and misalignments in your spinal column occur, then communication to the nervous system can be affected which is called nerve interference. TRT helps identify and correct a spinal misalignment gently and without the need for forceful joint manipulation.
By improving the tone and function of the nervous system with TRT, the affected nerves will start communicating with your brain and spinal cord properly and without interference. Therefore, your body can start to heal itself naturally. TRT can lead to significant improvements in health conditions such as neuropathy, neck pain, leg pain, back pain, sciatica, and other chronic pain.
