How Does TRT Work?
The Torque Release Technique is non-invasive and focused on correcting spinal misalignments, or subluxations. The chiropractor uses a tool called an integrator to apply gentle adjustments to the spine’s vertebrae to improve neurological tonal imbalances. The technique is designed to regulate the brain, spinal cord, and nervous functions so your body’s spinal tone stays at a healthy level. TRT, also called the tonal technique, encourages the body to naturally heal against injuries and illness, and to better adapt to life’s daily stresses.
How Does TRT Improve Your Spine?
The minimal force placed on the spine by the chiropractor releases tension and pressure around the spine and spinal cord, allowing the nervous system to communicate between the body and brain more effectively. When all of your body’s systems are coordinated and working together, it will better correct itself, promoting healing and long-term health. This not only improves your wellbeing and overall body function, but it can also relieve pain and symptoms from any diseases, illnesses, or underlying conditions.
Is TRT Safe for Kids and the Elderly?
Because the Torque Release Technique is so gentle, it is safe for people of all ages from infants to the elderly. Chiropractic care is non-invasive and relieves pressure with gentle precision. Minimal force is always applied and there is no twisting, cracking, or popping. Each adjustment is specific and gentle to ensure the results are both reliable and lasting. Individuals of all ages benefit from the neurological changes that occur from TRT adjustments and the enhancements they provide to the healing experience.
How Long Will It Take to Notice the Effects of TRT?
Each person is different in how many adjustments are needed before they notice the positive effects of chiropractic care at Quest for Health Chiropractic. For some, the therapeutic response will be immediate. Others will start to notice their body becoming more productive and healthy over the course of a few adjustments. Once your appointment with the doctor is complete, your nervous system continues to better integrate and process information with the brain and spinal cord.

The Diversified Technique
The Diversified technique — also called “Manual Adjusting Technique” — is the most common form of Chiropractic Care administered in practices throughout the world. Quite literally a “hands on” approach, the Diversified technique is gentle and low pressure in our chiroprators’ hands. Adjustments can be made to correct subluxations — misalignments within the spine. Clients most often leave their appointment feeling less tension, better energy and reduced discomfort thanks to the healing power that manual adjustment care can offer.
How Does the Diversified Adjusting Technique Work?
Diversified adjusting techniques are referred to as “Diversified” for good reason. Namely, they encompass a wide range of chiropractic disciplines all concerned with correcting misalignment and relieving excess tension.
Most manual adjusting occurs through high-velocity, low amplitude thrusts that quickly, but gently restore alignment without the use of extreme pressure or discomfort. Through different adjustment positions, we adjust problematic subluxations to strategically realign these areas of your spine.
Common methods of applying pressure include:
- Using both palms separately to apply strategic, stabilizing pressure along a plane
- Using both palms with hands clasped together to apply localized pressure at a singular point
- Using the entire forearm to distribute pressure evenly along a plane
- Grasping an element of the skeletal structure and applying opposing pressure to the other side to supply the needed torsion
- Using fingers and thumbs to apply minute areas of strategic pressure
Use of Diversified Adjusting Technique
Manual adjustment technique is the most commonly practiced form of chiropractic care because of its reliability and decades of refinement. Expert hands can perform adjustments by sensing feedback in the body needed to apply corrections in response to individual physiologies.
Chiropractic care through manual adjustments most often involves the use of sophisticated measuring and imaging so as to determine the exact nature of subluxations. By following changes in the body seen through our state of the art technology and patient history, the team at Quest for Health Chiropractic can strategically coordinate care to deliver measurable, sustained positive outcomes across a wide range of patient needs.
