OUR TECHNIQUE

TORQUE AND RELEASE TECHNIQUE

Torque Release Technique (TRT) is a chiropractic technique that was born out of research, as it is one of the most scientifically researched techniques out there today. The technique itself is comprised of seven other chiropractic techniques. TRT is proven to provide highly effective results in a gentle, reproducible, and non-invasive manner. It is one of the most specific, scientific techniques in the world. With this technique, Dr. Erika uses a specialized adjusting instrument, called the Integrator™, is used to correct subluxations, or spinal misalignments, with accuracy and precision. The instrument was used in a randomized, double blinded, placebo research study accrediting its accuracy. While some chiropractors concentrate on your muscles and bones, making physical adjustments to your spine for relief, at Grounded Roots Chiropractic, we take a different approach. Without any twisting, cracking, or popping, we focus on reducing tension in your nervous system at important connection points between the spinal cord and vertebral bones, providing our patients more effective and longer lasting health outcomes. TRT is safe for all ages and stages of life, from infants to great grandparents. With extensive training and experience in corrective and supportive chiropractic care related to pregnancy, pediatrics, athletics, and wellness, Dr. Erika is equipped to help you heal your body from the inside out.

gentle - safe - effective for all ages

The attributes that make an Integrator adjustment something special and powerful are:

  •  PRECISE: Dr. Erika can pinpoint the exact point on the spine that requires adjustment of nerve function.

  •  SPECIFIC: The force, frequency of energy, torque, and speed provided by the Integrator have all been tailor-made to deliver the perfect amount of energy to help normalize nerve function.

  •  GENTLE: An Integrator adjustment can be delivered with the spine in a perfectly relaxed position with a controlled amount of force.

  •  FAST: The incredibly fast but shallow impulse is one of the secrets to the effectiveness of this adjustment and the reason for it being so gentle.

  •  RECOIL: Another one of the secret ingredients built into the Integrator is recoil: This bounce in the impulse increases the body’s nerve system response.

  •  TORQUE: Subatomic particles, atoms, muscles, and human bodies all 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 assessment, examination and adjustments that are used in TRT are standardized which means that several practitioners using the same method can deliver the same results and experience.

  •  RECOGNIZED: The Integrator is patented for the correction of Subluxation and is the first device of its kind with an FDA accreditation.

Websters + Pregnancy

Chiropractic care is an essential part to all stages of pregnancy, from preconception, during pregnancy, through postpartum. Webster’s technique is a specialized technique in caring for women as they are preparing to carry a baby. It is Dr. Erika’s goal is to provide each mother with the most enjoyable pregnancy experience possible, allow women to experience sleep, energy, and daily activities while avoiding some of the common pregnancy symptoms such as low back, hip pains, and fatigue. Webster’s technique specifically looks sacral and SI dysfunction and misalignments. By making sure that the pelvis has the correct neuro-biomechanical function this allows the baby the optimal environment to grow and make their entrance safe and easy. This is why it is critical for pregnant moms to have a clean and clear nervous system.

Several studies have shown that through neurologically based chiropractic care, both labor time and pain have been reduced. It is our goal to empower our pregnant moms through care, while also being a resource for their natural birthing and family needs. In order to have a great delivery, mothers need to be feeling and functioning at their best.  Grounded Roots believes that healthy moms deliver healthy babies, and these healthy babies can become healthy adults.

Infants

Not only is Dr. Erika passionate about seeing pregnant moms but she also loves seeing the kids. We know that there are several trumas that kids go through while growing up that impact their nervous system, but the number one is actually the birthing trauma. At Grounded Roots we check kids from minutes to hours of being born. Ensuring that little ones start their lives with the best start possible and allowing their bodies to function at their full capability.
