Whether you decide to visit as a result of pain, a chronic health issue, or simply to feel and function at your highest potential, chiropractic adjustments can help your body tune in to its own natural rhythms and the unique demands of your life.


Our doctors use Torque Release Technique as the primary method of adjustment. Torque Release Technique detects and corrects nervous system tension between the spinal cord and the spine. It’s an instrument-based technique where adjustments are done using an instrument called an Integrator rather than by hand.

The explanation for how Torque Release works is simple. The spinal cord is much like a guitar string in that it is anchored at the top and bottom of the spine. If that string has proper tone, or tension, it plays the perfect notes and the nervous system operates in harmony with the body and the world around it.


When the body is subjected to an overload of physical, chemical or emotional stressors, the attachments between the spinal cord and the spine can develop abnormal tension. Torque Release Technique allows us to find these areas of tension in the spinal cord and correct them. The benefits continue when a patient gets off the table, and the body continues to heal as the nervous system returns to a more optimal degree of tone and tension, bringing the body into better balance.
