Torque Release Technique (TRT)
PRECISE.
When using the Integrator our doctors can pinpoint the exact point on the spine that requires the adjustment based on nerve frequency.
SPECIFIC.
The force, frequency of energy, torque, speed and thrust provided by the Integrator have all been tailor-made to deliver the perfect amount of energy to help normalize nerve function. Break through from a mechanistic attempt to facilitate neurological change to a system that ensures tonal change.
GENTLE.
An Integrator adjustment can be delivered with the spine in a perfectly relaxed neutral position with the perfect amount of force: Whereas a traditional adjustment requires the spine to be stretched to a position of tension followed by the manual thrust by hand to sufficiently open the spinal joints to activate a cavitation response.
FAST.
The incredibly fast but shallow impulse is one of the secrets to the effectiveness of this adjustment while being so gentle.
RECOIL.
Another of the secret ingredients built into the Integrator is recoil. This bounce in the impulse increases the body’s response.
TORQUE.
Subatomic particles, atoms, muscles, and human bodies move in three dimensions. The three-dimensional impulse of the Integrator maximizes the effectiveness on the human body.
EFFECTIVE.
The benefits of Integrator adjustments have been measured by scientific research and this research has been published in major peer-reviewed medical journals.
RELIABLE.
The way that the Integrator delivers an adjustment is very consistent and reliable so that the right amount of force and energy is transmitted on each and every adjustment.
CONSISTENT.
The systems that are used in TRT and the features of the Integrator are very standardized which means that several practitioners using the same method can deliver the same results and experience.
Webster Technique
The Webster Technique was designed by Dr. Larry Webster the founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). He developed it as an assessment of a pregnant mother’s sacral alignment. When the sacrum (tailbone) moves out of its proper place, especially during pregnancy, the ligament attached adds tension and creates counter-rotation to the opposite ligament known as the round ligament.
The ICPA recognizes that in a theoretical and clinical framework of the Webster Technique in the care of pregnant women, sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labor for the mother (i.e., dystocia). Dystocia is caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation. The correction of sacral subluxation may have a positive effect on all of these causes of dystocia.
This technique is a safe means to restore proper pelvic balance and function. You can learn more about the Webster Technique here.
The assessment includes heel flexion to buttocks, with restricted flexion indicating the affected SI joint. Correction is made with a sacral adjustment. It is used on all weight bearing individuals presenting with this biomechanical restriction. Common symptoms include (but are not limited to) low back pain, sciatic neuralgia, and symptoms associated with sacral subluxation and/ or S/I joint dysfunction.
In this clinical and theoretical framework, it is proposed that sacral misalignment may contribute to the three primary causes of dystocia via uterine nerve interference, pelvic misalignment and the tightening and torsion of specific pelvic muscles and ligaments. The resulting tense muscles and ligaments and their aberrant effect on the uterus may prevent the baby from comfortably assuming the best possible position for birth.
The obstetric literature has determined that correct positioning of the baby in-utero affects birth outcome and decreases the potential for undue stress to the baby’s developing spine and nerve system. Obstetric literature has determined the importance of normal pelvic neuro-biomechanics including uterine function and pelvic alignment for the prevention of dystocia (difficult birth).
Due to the particular female adaptations from the increase of hormones, weight gain and postural adaptations, pregnant mothers have a greater chance of sacral subluxation and neuro-biomechanical imbalances than the general population.
It has been determined that correct positioning of the baby in-utero affects birth outcome and decreases the potential for undue stress to the baby’s developing spine and nerve system. Chiropractic literature has determined the significance of sacral adjustments in normalizing pelvic neuro-biomechanics.
The chiropractic adjustment has effects on all of the body functions. Adjustments reduce nervous system stress, and pregnant mothers may have significant benefits by having their spines checked regularly throughout pregnancy, optimizing health benefits for both the mother and baby.
