  • How does TRT work to improve nervous system function and regulate the brain?

    TRT, or Torque Release Technique, is a holistic approach that addresses tonal imbalances within the spinal cord, ultimately enhancing the body's self-regulation and healing capabilities. By utilizing a specialized instrument called the Integrator, chiropractors are able to accurately and precisely target these imbalances, promoting optimal nervous system function and regulating the brain.


    Scientific research has demonstrated the positive influence of TRT on the "Brain Reward Cascade" and reward deficiency syndrome. This cascade plays a crucial role in mental health, and by addressing nervous system imbalances associated with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and addiction, TRT can contribute to improved emotional well-being.


    In addition to its impact on mental health, TRT can also have a profound effect on chronic pain management. By reducing musculoskeletal tension and promoting optimal nervous system function, TRT offers relief to those who suffer from persistent discomfort. The interconnectedness of the nervous system with respiratory and digestive function is also recognized by TRT, making it a valuable treatment option for conditions such as asthma, COPD, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and colic.


    By addressing tonal imbalances in the spinal cord, TRT efficiently corrects nervous system dysfunctions, thus optimizing the body's ability to self-regulate and heal. The utilization of specialized instruments like the Integrator ensures precise and accurate targeting of these imbalances, providing a holistic approach to improving nervous system function and regulating the brain. With its proven benefits on mental health, chronic pain, and various other conditions, TRT offers a comprehensive solution for those seeking natural and effective treatment options.

  • How does TRT gently correct subluxation or spinal misalignments?

    Torque Release Technique (TRT) is a chiropractic method used to gently correct subluxation or spinal misalignments in a non-invasive and comfortable manner. TRT employs a gentle touch and Integrator, a specialized tool that allows for specific and precise adjustments suitable for individuals of all ages. This technique focuses on the connection points between the spinal cord and spinal column, aiming to improve the tone of the nervous system and muscles.


    Unlike traditional chiropractic methods that involve physical manipulation of the joints, TRT works to encourage the body's natural healing process. By addressing tonal imbalances within the spinal cord, TRT helps to improve nervous system function and regulate the brain. The spinal tone, referring to the tension around the ligaments attached to the spinal cord and bones, is corrected to promote optimal functioning.


    Using the Integrator, a chiropractor skilled in TRT can accurately target the areas of concern, gently correcting subluxations and spinal misalignments. This approach allows for a comfortable and non-invasive experience, suitable for individuals of all ages. By working with the body's innate healing abilities, TRT aims to restore balance and promote overall well-being.
