Most patients are familiar with the traditional adjustment technique that refers to a chiropractic doctors manually adjusting patients. With the manual adjustment method, chiropractors will exert force and thrust with their hands and body weight to open up spinal joints which creates cracking and popping sounds. This can be painful and uncomfortable for some patients.
Torque Release Technique (TRT), developed by Dr. Jay Holder D.C, M.D, is a newer chiropractic method that uses a specialized handheld recoil tool called the Integrator, which is gentle on patients spines and targets pain points with more precision while in a relaxed face down position.
What is Torque Release Technique?
Torque Release Technique (TRT) is a non-invasive method for correcting spinal subluxations. TRT offers a gentle approach to addressing spinal issues without joint manipulation by restoring the tone of the central nervous system and associated muscles.
The central nervous system is a communication highway that connects your brain to the rest of your body and also plays a big role in the body’s natural healing process. When subluxations and misalignments in your spinal column occur, communication with the nervous system can be affected, called nerve interference. TRT helps identify and correct a spinal misalignment gently and without the need for forceful joint manipulation.
By improving the tone and function of the nervous system with TRT, the affected nerves will communicate with your brain and spinal cord properly and without interference. Therefore, your body can start to heal itself naturally. TRT can significantly improve health conditions such as neuropathy, neck pain, leg pain, back pain, sciatica, and other chronic pain.

What is the Integrator chiropractic instrument?
Torque Release Technique (TRT) utilizes the Integrator, a specialized chiropractic tool. This handheld device delivers precise and gentle force to targeted spinal joints, releasing muscle and ligament tension. Unlike traditional adjustments, the recoil force of the Integrator is painless and noise-free, providing a comfortable patient experience.
The Integrator is an FDA-approved tool that has been shown to be effective in correcting primary and secondary spinal subluxations by restoring nerve function, reducing pain, and improving overall health and well-being. TRT helps chiropractors provide a gentle and non-invasive form of treatment that allows patients to experience the benefits of chiropractic care without the pain that traditional methods sometimes cause.
Benefits of Torque Release Technique
TRT is a holistic approach to chiropractic care that restores your nervous system’s natural function. It corrects root causes of pain by addressing primary and secondary subluxations. By stimulating self-healing, TRT provides a comprehensive solution, relieving chronic pain and improving sleep, mood, and overall health.
Precise and Gentle Adjustment
With Torque Release Technique, you won’t experience any twisting or cracking of your body parts. It is a gentle and specific chiropractic adjustment that does not cause any severe discomfort.
Fast & Efficient Treatments
Treatments offered by a licensed TRT chiropractor are quick and often take less than 5 minutes per session. Patients may experience immediate pain relief after each treatment.
Reproducible Results
TRT eliminates human error, and the results are easily reproduced by other chiropractors. By this, we mean that the TRT technique uses a standardized analysis and protocol, so you get the same treatment every time, regardless of who performs the adjustment.
Long Lasting Improvement to Health
Since TRT improves the function of the nervous system, patients will also notice improved posture, better range of motion, and other related benefits.

What to expect during a TRT Treatment?
Prior to your treatment beginning, the chiropractic clinic that specializes in Torque Release Technique will perform a thorough examination of your spine and extremities to identify any misalignments and tension that may be present. This pretreatment examination will help the chiropractor determine which areas must be worked on.
When the exam is complete, you will lie face down on a chiropractic table comfortably. From there, the chiropractor will compare your legs’ length while activating your deep Achilles tendon reflex. The length of one leg will be longer than the other. The doctor will then test different neurological points throughout your spine and check your leg lengths again.
Once your leg lengths go perfectly, even then, that indicates the spot that needs to get adjusted with the Integrator tool. Depending on your condition, the painless chiropractic adjustment process should only take 5-10 minutes.
