We optimize health, healing potential, and performance through extremely gentle, powerfully effective chiropractic care.
What Is Neurological Chiropractic?
Neurological chiropractic optimizes your body’s health, healing potential, and performance from the inside out. At Elevation Chiropractic & Wellness, we specialize in a unique form of neurological chiropractic known as Torque Release Technique (TRT). TRT was featured in a one-hour Discovery Health Channel documentary on the latest medical and health related breakthroughs.
How does it work?
The reason we can be gentle and effective is because we practice a very specific, specialized form of neurological chiropractic known as Torque Release Technique (TRT). TRT allows us to take a ‘nerve first’ approach which is very unique within the chiropractic profession.
Most chiropractors take a ‘bone first’ model. In this model, they feel which bones are out of place and ‘adjust’ them back into place. This is where the twisting and turning is required. However, if the muscles that are attached to the bone are tight, often they pull the bone back out of place. The same bone then has to be adjusted over and over again.
Because of this, other approaches focus on stretching and strengthening the muscles to pull the bones back into place. They may also include ‘electrical stimulation’…where sticky pads are put on the back and it feels like a tingling, pins and needles sensation.
However, what part of your body tells the muscles what to do? The brain and nervous system! Muscles don’t contract on their own. It is only when the brain sends a message through the nerves, down to the muscles, that they contract.

This is the reason we take a ‘nerve first’ approach. By affecting the nervous system first, the muscles relax, and the body can then move the bones back into place. We don’t have to ‘force’ them back into alignment. In addition, your nervous system controls all the function and healing in your body. A neurological approach allows all body systems to function optimally.
