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.
what is the integrator?
Torque Release Technique (TRT) utilizes the Integrator, a specialized chiropractic tool. This handheld device delivers precise and gentle force to targeted spinal joints, releasing muscle and ligament tension. Unlike traditional adjustments, the recoil force of the Integrator is painless and noise-free, providing a comfortable experience for patients.
The Integrator is an FDA-approved tool that has been shown to be effective in correcting primary, and secondary spinal subluxations by restoring nerve function, reducing pain, and improving overall health and well-being. TRT helps chiropractors provide a gentle and non-invasive form of treatment which allows patients to experience the benefits of chiropractic care without the pain that traditional methods sometimes cause.
1. Health Consultation
A health history consultation is where we learn more about you as an individual and how we might be able to help.
We want to learn your goals for seeking care.
The consultation also gives you the opportunity to ask the doctor any questions you may have about your condition.
2. Posture Assessment
Posture is our window into the health of your spine and nervous system.
Due to the increased usage of technology in our society, we are seeing younger and younger individuals with serious posture shifts that damage the spine and delicate nerves.
3. Nerve Scan
Just as a nurse or doctor would check your blood pressure to monitor your cardiovascular system we use a computerized nerve scan to test the health of your nervous system.
Our nerve scan has the ability to identify any areas of nerve interference - where the brain can’t communicate the the body as efficiently.
A decrease in communication leads to dysfunction and dysfunction if left uncorrected will ultimately lead to disease and sickness.
4. Report of Findings
Once your consultation and examinations are complete the doctor will take some time to review them and build your report.
The report of findings is one of the most important appointments you will have in the office.
At this time the doctor will review your findings and give his recommendations for care.
