Torque Release Technique (TRT) in Lexington, KY
Not everyone feels comfortable with traditional manual chiropractic adjustments. For many people, the idea of twisting or “cracking” the spine can feel intimidating. That’s where the Torque Release Technique (TRT) comes in. This gentle, precise method of chiropractic care allows Dr. Mateo to deliver safe and effective adjustments without the need for heavy force or uncomfortable movements.
At our office, patients of all ages—from children to seniors—appreciate TRT because it helps the body heal naturally while keeping the process simple and comfortable.
What is the Torque Release Technique?
Torque Release Technique is a neurologically-based approach to chiropractic care. Instead of relying on manual thrusts, Dr. Mateo uses a small handheld instrument called the Integrator. This instrument delivers a controlled, gentle impulse to specific points in the spine.
TRT focuses on the nervous system, which controls every function in your body. When your spine is misaligned, it can interfere with nerve communication, leading to pain, tension, or other health challenges. By correcting these misalignments, TRT helps restore balance and allows your body to function the way it was designed.

Precise targeting of misalignments for more consistent results

Torque Release Technique FAQs
What is the Torque Release Technique?
Torque Release Technique is a neurologically based form of chiropractic care that focuses on improving how the brain and body communicate. Instead of manual twisting or cracking, Dr. Mateo uses a handheld instrument called the Integrator to deliver a gentle, precise impulse to specific areas of the spine. This helps correct misalignments that may be interfering with nerve function and overall health.
How is TRT different from traditional chiropractic adjustments?
Traditional chiropractic often uses manual force to move joints. TRT is different because it uses a low force instrument to deliver consistent and specific corrections without twisting or popping. Many patients in Lexington choose TRT because it feels more comfortable, produces consistent results, and focuses directly on the nervous system rather than just joint movement.
Is the Torque Release Technique safe?
Yes. TRT is one of the safest chiropractic techniques available. It is commonly used for children, seniors, pregnant women, and patients who are nervous about traditional adjustments. Because it does not rely on forceful movements, it places very little stress on the joints and tissues while still producing powerful neurological changes.
What does a TRT adjustment feel like?
Most patients describe a TRT adjustment as a light tap or click against the skin. There is no twisting, cracking, or sudden movement. Many people are surprised by how gentle it feels and often report feeling relaxed, calm, or lighter after their adjustment.
Can TRT help with back pain and neck pain?
Yes. TRT is frequently used to help patients with chronic or recurring back pain and neck pain. By improving nervous system communication and spinal stability, many patients notice reduced tension, better movement, and longer lasting relief compared to temporary treatments.
Does TRT help with headaches and migraines?
Many headaches and migraines are connected to tension or misalignment in the neck and upper spine. TRT allows Dr. Mateo to gently correct these areas without aggravating sensitive tissues. Over time, patients often experience fewer headaches, reduced intensity, and improved overall comfort.
Can TRT help with stress and tension?
Yes. Because TRT works directly with the nervous system, many patients notice improvements not only in pain but also in how their body handles stress. Patients often report feeling calmer, sleeping better, and recovering more easily from physical and emotional stressors as their nervous system becomes more balanced.
Is TRT appropriate for kids and families?
Absolutely. TRT is commonly used for pediatric chiropractic care because it is gentle and precise. Children visit our Lexington office for posture issues, sports injuries, headaches, growing pains, and general nervous system support. Parents appreciate that TRT does not involve forceful adjustments.
Is TRT safe during pregnancy?
Yes. Dr. Mateo regularly uses TRT with pregnant patients because it is gentle and adaptable to the changing body. It can help support spinal alignment, pelvic balance, and nervous system function during pregnancy without putting stress on the joints.
Why does Life Without Fear Chiropractic use digital motion X-rays with TRT?
Digital motion X rays allow Dr. Mateo to see how the spine moves in real time. This helps him identify areas of instability or stress that may be affecting nerve function. Combining this technology with TRT allows for a highly precise and personalized care plan rather than guesswork.
How many TRT visits will I need?
The number of visits varies based on your condition, how long the issue has been present, and your health goals. Some patients notice changes quickly, while others experience gradual improvement as their nervous system adapts. Dr. Mateo will review your findings and outline a clear plan so you know what to expect.
How do I know if TRT is right for me?
If you want a gentle approach to chiropractic care, have been nervous about traditional adjustments, or are looking for long term improvement rather than temporary relief, TRT may be a great fit. The best way to know is to schedule a new patient visit so Dr. Mateo can evaluate your spine and nervous system.
