Torque Release Technique
There are many different methods and techniques for adjusting the spine and extremities. Some are vigorous and a bit violent but still safe, and others are very gentle and effective even though it may seem like such little force couldn't accomplish actual changes in spinal alignment. Torque Release Technique, or TRT, is one of those very gentle approaches that has a profound effect on the overall health of the patient. Founded on the original principles of chiropractic, the goal of TRT is to remove interference to the nervous system so the body can heal and function at its optimum level. Sometimes there's dramatic immediate pain relief like a manual adjustment that produces the familiar popping sounds, but other times it will take several (even manual adjusting usually requires multiple visits) to get the relief that seems most important to a patient in pain. We usually see relief within 2-4 visits, but the most important aspect of why we choose TRT as our main approach is that it has personally helped our Doctors to achieve the best long term results in their own bodies, and it overall does not require as many visits to achieve and maintain those results!
Both of our doctors have used this technique on patients ranging from a few months old to folks in their 90's, and from the sedentary to multiple pro athletes. Bottom line, it Works!
