Torque Release Technique
If you’ve ever been curious about the more modern, research-based methods of chiropractic care, let me introduce you to one of my favorites the Torque Release Technique, often lovingly referred to as TRT. It’s a gentle yet powerful way to help the body heal, balance, and function more fully, and I’m excited to share with you why it has become such an important part of my approach to chiropractic care.
What Is Torque Release?
Unlike traditional “twisting and cracking” adjustments, Torque Release uses a small handheld instrument called the Integrator to gently correct misalignments in the spine. This instrument was specifically designed to mimic the precise, fast, and light adjustment that a chiropractor’s hands can give, but with even more consistency and control.
I use a detailed system of neurological checks to pinpoint exactly where the spinal cord and nervous system are experiencing stress. From there, I apply a gentle impulse to help restore balance. The adjustment is quick, relaxing, and does not involve any twisting, popping, or cracking.
A Technique Backed by Science and Research
One of the things that sets Torque Release apart is how thoroughly it’s been studied. TRT is one of the few chiropractic techniques that was developed through research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It came out of a study on addiction and recovery, where researchers wanted to explore how gentle chiropractic care could help regulate the nervous system and support mental and physical health.
The results were inspiring. Patients not only showed improvement in nervous system balance, but many also experienced a reduction in anxiety, improved sleep, better mood, and enhanced overall well-being.
Because of its unique precision and reproducibility, the Integrator instrument used in TRT was granted a U.S. patent, making it the first chiropractic adjusting instrument of its kind to receive such recognition. That patent reflects just how innovative and valuable this technique truly is.
Why I Love Using TRT in My Office
As someone who deeply respects the body’s ability to heal, I love that TRT works with the nervous system so directly. Your nervous system is the master controller of your body — it sends messages to every organ, muscle, and tissue. If something is interfering with that communication, whether it’s physical stress, emotional tension, or chemical imbalance, you can feel it in ways big and small.
Torque Release allows me to identify those interruptions and gently clear the path so your body can do what it’s meant to do, heal, grow, and thrive.
It’s safe for everyone, from infants to seniors, and it’s especially appreciated by people who may feel nervous about traditional adjustments. Many of my patients tell me how much they look forward to their TRT sessions because they leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected.
A Pathway to Wholeness
The beauty of Torque Release is in its simplicity. There’s no need for force when we work in harmony with the nervous system. With each adjustment, the body begins to unwind layers of stress, restoring balance in a way that’s gentle, precise, and effective.
Whether you're seeking relief from chronic tension, looking to support your emotional health, or simply wanting to keep your body functioning at its best, TRT can be a safe and powerful option.
If you’ve been searching for a chiropractic method that blends modern research with gentle care, the Torque Release Technique might be just what your body has been asking for. I would love to talk with you more about how it can help you or your loved ones feel more vibrant, connected, and at ease.
