The Torque Release Technique – Gentle and Effective

The Torque Release Technique allows for a specific adjustment without the force, cracking and popping sound of manual adjustments. 

The Integrator

A Torque Release Technique (TRT)  adjustment can be delivered with the spine in a perfectly relaxed neutral position with the perfect amount of force: Whereas a traditional adjustment requires the spine to be stretched to a position of tension followed by the manual thrust by hand to sufficiently open the spinal joints to activate a cavitation response.  Practice members enjoy the specific adjustment without the force, cracking and popping sound of manual adjustments.

  • Published in the world’s most prestigious scientific journals such as Nature and Molecular Psychiatry

  • Featured as the front piece on Psychology Today

Chiropractic has never had a scientific model that represents subluxation-centered chiropractic. A model that explained the subluxation for the true role it plays. With chiropractic having entered its second century, it is essential that a truly up-to-date, functional, scientific, neurological based model lead the forefront and transform healthcare. 

There have been endless definitions of the subluxation. Many pioneers have attempted to develop techniques to diagnose, locate and correct subluxations. Although much greatness has come, chiropractic has been left with mechanistic and/or linear protocols that have stood in the way of chiropractic’s true potential.

In 1994, the Holder Research Institute discovered (1) that only vertebrates have opiate receptor site brain reward, establishing the vertebral subluxation complex as the hallmark of insult of the vertebrate’s ability to express a state of well-being to its fullest potential. “The Brain Reward Cascade” is a scientific model (2) that provides an understanding of the neurophysiological mechanisms of how the meso-limbic system expresses a state of well-being. A lack of state of well-being is referred to as Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS). The vertebral motor unit and the dorsal horn (3) are the common denominators. Due to its intimate relationship to the “The Brain Reward Cascade”, a subluxation-free spine becomes mandatory for the expression of one’s greatest potential. If subluxated, reward Deficiency Syndrome is manifested (4).

“The transition from the mechanistic model of disease versus health, in which we have been stuck for so many years, to a vitalistic model of wellness can be the hallmark of the coming millennium. 

 

 

 

 

 

TO ABANDON DISEASE IS TO ABANDON ITS CONCEPT

RDS and the Brain Reward Cascade Model demands non-linear time sequence adjusting priorities. The neurophysiology of the Brain Reward Cascade, as well as any other nervous system components, teach us that non-linear time sequence adjusting priorities are mandatory to any chiropractic technique protocol.

Torque Release Technique® was developed out of respect for non-mechanistic, non-linear timed sequence adjusting priorities and embraces The Brain Reward Cascade model (5).

Utilizing The Integrator™, a torque and recoil release adjusting instrument combines the best of existing chiropractic techniques and principles, quantum physics and the body/mind connection. Creating the first integrated chiropractic system for the second century of chiropractic.

Torque Release Technique® is a model that utilizes the multi-factorial approaches pioneered in the following techniques:

  • Thompson Terminal Point

  • Van Rumpt, D.N.F.T.

  • DeJarnette, S.O.T.

  • Logan Basic

  • Toftness

  • Palmer Upper Cervical

  • Network Chiropractic Spinal Analysis

Torque Release Technique® is non-mechanistic and non-linear. Torque Release Technique® utilizes neurologically-based analysis that incorporates non-linear time sequence adjusting priorities.
