Torque Release Technique is Your Key to Healing and Thriving!
Dr. Michael is Advanced Proficiency Certified in Torque Release Technique (TRT), which has been proven through research to be one of the world’s most specific and scientific chiropractic techniques. Through a specialized, neurological analysis, he finds the root cause of each individual’s pain and health issues, and he provides some of the gentlest and most effective chiropractic adjustments available today. This ground-breaking technique allows our office staff to witness people of all ages, on a daily basis, experiencing life-changing results!
From scientific research—the largest human population research study in chiropractic history—into the health benefits of chiropractic, TRT was born. It was developed from a collaboration of the “best-of-the-best” seven systems of chiropractic analysis and care, to create the first technique of the new millennium for the chiropractic profession. Peer-reviewed research published in the world’s most prestigious scientific journals showed that when TRT adjustments were received, there were dramatic reductions in depression and anxiety levels, along with improved measurements of well-being.
How is Torque Release Technique different from other chiropractic techniques?
TRT is known as a “low-force,” “tonal,” “neurological-based,” and “subluxation-centered” assessment and adjusting technique. It reestablishes the proper tone of the central nervous system much like tuning a stringed instrument. As a tuned instrument has the ability to produce beautiful music, your body can also function beautifully when your spinal cord and nerves are set for appropriate and efficient transmission of electrical frequencies to and from your brain.
Precise locations of nerve flow interruption (subluxation, caused by misaligned vertebrae) are identified and released. Unique to TRT is its ability to identify primary subluxations, which are those that cause other vertebrae within the spine to misalign from your body’s effort to compensate. Adjustments are performed with a low-force instrument called The Integrator, which delivers a specific frequency into nerve endings within the spinal column—exactly where nerve function has become “facilitated” (irritated)—and corrects it! Our patients appreciate TRT’s specificity and gentleness without the twisting, popping, cracking, or force of manual adjustments. And, of course, they love the results they experience!
In fact, many of our patients have previously received care from other chiropractic offices, physical therapists, and medical doctors. In our office, they have experienced results where other medical and chiropractic systems have not been successful. Rather than to merely provide temporary relief of your symptoms, the goal of our care is to permanently correct neurological interference, thus awakening your body’s ability to properly adapt to stress, heal from the inside, and function optimally!
We want You to Expect Miracles, and We are Ready to Deliver!
How does this help my Well-Being?
TRT adjustments stimulate neuropeptides, the “feel-good chemicals”, such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. An array of health issues, including anxiety and depression, can occur when these chemicals are depleted. Until recently, such chemicals were believed to be produced only within the brain, but new research reveals several areas within the spinal cord that produce these same neuropeptides. Torque Release Technique focuses heavily on correlating segments of the spine, which keeps you and your loved ones feeling happy!
TRT | The Integrator™
The Integrator is chiropractic’s only adjusting instrument that was developed out of a randomized clinical trial, blinded, and with placebo control. This research study was designed at the University of Miami School of Medicine by Robert Duncan, Ph.D., biostatistician, and the Holder Research Institute. It was founded in part by a Florida Chiropractic Society grant. Many years of design, development, and testing went into creating an instrument that would deliver that third dimensional dynamic that adjusting by hand embraced, but no other chiropractic instrument delivered — “TORQUE” and “RECOIL.”
These attributes make an Integrator adjustment truly something special:
PRECISE:
The Integrator allows the doctor to pinpoint the exact location on the spine requiring adjustment of nerve frequency. This degree of accuracy is lacking in manual adjustments.
SPECIFIC:
The frequency of energy, force, thrust, speed, and torque that the Integrator provides have each been tailor-made to deliver the perfect amount of energy necessary to help normalize nerve function. After previous mechanistic attempts to facilitate neurologic change, we now have a breakthrough system that ensures neurologic, tonal change.
GENTLE:
A TRT adjustment with the Integrator is delivered gently with the spine in a perfectly relaxed, neutral position, using the precise amount of force; whereas, a traditional adjustment requires stretching of the spine to a position of tension followed by the manual thrust to sufficiently open spinal joints, thus activating a cavitation response.
FAST:
The incredibly fast (1/10,000 of a second) but shallow impulse is one of the secrets to the effectiveness of this adjustment, and the reason for it being so gentle.
RECOIL:
Additionally, the Integrator has built into it the secret ingredient of recoil. This “bounce” in the impulse increases the body’s response to the adjustment.
TORQUE:
Subatomic particles, atoms, muscles, and human bodies all move in three dimensions. The Integrator’s three-dimensional impulse maximizes its effectiveness on the human body.
EFFECTIVE:
The many benefits of Integrator adjustments have been measured through scientific research and published in major peer-reviewed medical journals.
RELIABLE:
The consistency and reliability of the way the Integrator delivers an adjustment ensures that the accurate amount of energy and force is transmitted on each and every adjustment.
CONSISTENT:
TRT’s analysis and the Integrator’s features are standardized, meaning that with several practitioners using the same method, the same results and experience can be delivered. Its tip-sensitive, automatic-release mechanism makes the Integrator the first and only chiropractic adjusting instrument capable of true inter-professional reproducibility.
RECOGNIZED:
The Integrator holds several patents and it is legally marketed as a device for the adjustment of vertebral subluxation. It is only available to licensed Doctors of Chiropractic.
