Torque Release Technique
Dr. Simonsen is Certified in Torque Release Technique (TRT), which has been proven through research to be one of the most EFFECTIVE chiropractic techniques in the world.
What is TRT?
TRT is a neurologically based chiropractic technique that is focused on the function of your central nervous system. This is different than traditional chiropractic care that is focused on structural correction or pain management. By using a deep tendon reflex and spinal nerve pressure checks, we are able to assess where the highest level of neurological stress is occurring. This allows Dr. Simonsen to identify the primary subluxations (misalignments) in the body that are causing pain and structural compensations. Adjustments with TRT utilize a hand held instrument called the Integrator.
The advantage of the Integrator is that it can deliver a specific and gentle adjustment at an intentional frequency at the exact nerve root where function has become “facilitated” (irritated). It is a technique to stimulate your nervous system in such a way that it will release and reduce tension, assisting your body to self-correct.
Torque Release Technique has been designed as part of scientific research into the health benefits of chiropractic. It is a mixture of the “best-of-the-best” systems of chiropractic assessment and care.
Research published in one of the most respected psychiatry journals showed dramatic success in reducing anxiety and depression levels, as well as improved measurements of well-being when Torque Release Technique chiropractic adjustments were received.
Torque Release Technique was not created for a specific condition, but specifically created out of random controlled trials for the purpose of increasing state of well-being and human potential.
