Our Technique

Torque Release Technique (TRT)

Torque Release Technique (TRT)

Torque Release Technique was built to find and correct neurological tension in the spine, the kind that keeps your brain, spinal cord and nervous system from communicating clearly. Dr. Hay holds Advanced Proficiency in TRT and delivers each adjustment with a handheld instrument called the Integrator. No twisting, no cracking, no popping.

How TRT works

  • Every visit starts with a neurological analysis to find where interference is present, rather than adjusting everything and hoping. The adjustment itself is quick, specific and low force. It releases the pressure at that segment and lets the nervous system get back to communicating the way it should.

THE INSTRUMENT

The Integrator

The Integrator came out of the largest population research study in chiropractic history. It is the only chiropractic adjusting instrument developed through a randomized clinical trial, blinded and placebo-controlled. It reproduces the toggle recoil adjustment by hand, but with a level of speed and accuracy no hand can match, and it does it the same way every single time.

Why the Integrator

PRECISE

Delivers force to one specific segment, not the surrounding area.

GENTLE

Low force by design, which is why it is safe for a newborn and comfortable for someone in acute pain.

RECOIL

Reproduces the classic toggle recoil movement without the manual thrust.

EFFECTIVE

Produces real structural and neurological change, not just temporary relief.

CONSISTENT

Removes the variability that comes with adjusting by hand alone.

SPECIFIC

Corrects the segment we identified in the analysis and nothing else.

FAST

The adjustment happens faster than your muscles can guard against it, so nothing has to be forced.

TORQUE

Adds a rotational component that clears tension a straight-line push cannot reach.

RELIABLE

Same force, same angle, same result, visit after visit.

RESEARCHED

Backed by published clinical trials rather than tradition.
