Why TRT

A gentler, more specific approach to chiropractic care.

If you've been to a chiropractor before and are looking for something different — or you've never been because the idea of "cracking" doesn't sit well with you — you're in the right place.

Traditional, manual chiropractic adjustments work well for many people, and we use them here too when they're the best fit for a patient. But our primary method is Torque Release Technique — a neurologically-based, instrument-assisted approach that's quickly becoming one of the most respected techniques in modern chiropractic.

TRT lets us correct specific areas of nerve interference with extreme precision — down to the millimeter — without twisting or forceful manipulation. It's gentle enough for a newborn, consistent enough to produce measurable results, and specific enough to address the actual root cause of your symptoms.

That's why we chose to specialize in it.

What It Is

Precise, neurologically-based chiropractic.

Torque Release Technique (TRT) is a research-backed chiropractic method designed to gently correct spinal misalignments and restore proper communication between your brain and body.

TRT uses a small, handheld instrument called the Integrator to deliver a fast, low-force, highly specific impulse to exactly the right spot — down to the millimeter. It doesn't require twisting or forceful manipulation, which is part of why it's become such a popular method for treating babies, pregnant moms, seniors, and anyone who prefers a gentler approach.

Because TRT focuses on your nervous system — not just your bones and muscles — it supports whole-body healing, improves long-term stability, and helps your body do what it already knows how to do: heal itself.

The Instrument
The Integrator

A calibrated, FDA-approved instrument that delivers a specific, measured adjustment every single time — at the right spot, with the right amount of force, at the right speed. It's the only chiropractic instrument of its kind.

How TRT Differs

Two approaches. One patient-first philosophy.

Both manual and instrument-assisted adjustments have a place in great chiropractic care — and we use both here when they're the right fit. Here's how they compare, so you know what to expect.

Manual Adjustments
Hands-on, time-tested.
  • Hands-on adjustment delivered by the doctor directly
  • Often produces an audible release (the classic "pop")
  • Well-suited to certain joints and presentations
  • Effective when the situation calls for it
  • Available here when it's clinically the best option for you
Torque Release Technique
Our primary method.
  • Gentle, low-force impulse delivered by the Integrator
  • No twisting, no popping — ideal for nervous patients
  • Extremely specific — precise to the millimeter
  • Reproducible, measured adjustment every visit
  • Safe and comfortable for newborns, kids, pregnant moms, and seniors

Most of our care uses TRT because it's precise, consistent, and comfortable for nearly every patient. When a manual adjustment is a better fit for your body and your goals, that's what you'll get — because your outcome comes first.

Why We Chose TRT

Why TRT is our specialty.

There are many excellent chiropractic techniques, and skilled chiropractors get great results with all of them.

When a manual adjustment is a better fit for your body or your goals, we'll use that — but TRT is our primary tool, and we're proud of how well it works.

Common Questions

TRT, answered.

The Integrator is a small, handheld, FDA-approved chiropractic instrument specifically designed for Torque Release Technique. It delivers a very fast, very specific, low-force impulse to exactly the area we're correcting — with a consistent amount of force every single time. It's the only chiropractic instrument that applies torque in three dimensions, which is what makes TRT so precise compared to manual adjustments.
No — most patients describe it as a light tap or click. The Integrator delivers just enough force to do its job and nothing more. There's no twisting, no cracking, and no forceful pressure. Many patients who were nervous about traditional chiropractic are surprised at how gentle it feels, and how relaxed they are during the adjustment.
Absolutely. TRT is one of the safest chiropractic techniques available — and one of the few specifically designed to be gentle enough for newborns, infants, and pregnant moms. Because the Integrator applies no more pressure than you'd use to test a piece of fruit for ripeness, it's ideal for delicate situations where manual adjustments wouldn't be appropriate.
A manual chiropractic adjustment uses the doctor's hands to move joints, often producing the classic "pop." TRT uses a calibrated instrument called the Integrator to deliver a precise, low-force impulse to a very specific area — no twisting, no popping, no force. Both approaches can produce great outcomes; they're just different tools. TRT is especially well-suited for patients who want something gentler, more specific, and more consistent visit-to-visit — which is why we use it as our primary method.
Yes. While TRT is our primary technique and what most of our patients receive, we also provide manual adjustments when they're clinically appropriate and in your best interest. Your care is always based on what will be most effective and most comfortable for you — not on a one-size-fits-all protocol.
It depends on what you're dealing with, how long it's been going on, and your goals. Some patients feel improvement within the first few visits. Others who've been dealing with chronic issues for years need more time. After your first visit — which includes a thorough exam, nervous system scan, and digital X-rays if needed — we'll build a personalized care plan with a clear recommended schedule. No one-size-fits-all protocols and no "come in forever" pressure.
Our doctors are post-graduate trained and certified in Torque Release Technique, and the entire practice is built around it — not added to a menu of other services. You'll get a full nervous system assessment, on-site digital X-rays if needed, a personalized care plan, and gentle, precise adjustments from clinicians who've dedicated their careers to this method. Plus 346+ five-star Google reviews from San Antonio families who found lasting results here.
