Chiropractic care is a natural healthcare approach that focuses on the spine and nervous system. Chiropractors use adjustments to correct misalignments in the spine, promoting proper nervous system function and overall health.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Torque Release Technique (TRT) is the most advanced, neurologically-based chiropractic assessment and adjustment in the world. Unlike traditional chiropractic, which often involves manual twisting or “cracking” of the spine, TRT uses a specialized, FDA-approved medical device called The Integrator.
This instrument allows for a high-speed, low-force adjustment that specifically targets nerve interference. By focusing on the connection between the spinal cord and the nervous system, TRT provides a more precise and gentle experience, making it ideal for patients of all ages—from newborns to seniors—who prefer a non-invasive approach to health and healing.

For Colic: We use gentle adjustments to relieve the physical tension and neurological stress often caused during the birth process. By settling the “rest and digest” (parasympathetic) nervous system, we help the baby’s digestive tract function more smoothly, reducing the discomfort associated with colic.
-
For Ear Infections: Proper alignment of the upper cervical spine is key. When the neck is aligned, the muscles surrounding the Eustachian tubes can relax, allowing for natural fluid drainage. This prevents the stagnant buildup that often leads to painful infections.
Safety Note: These adjustments are extremely safe and involve no more pressure than you would use to check the ripeness of a tomato.
