Meet Dr. Mateo Franco
Chiropractor in West Lexington, KY
Dr. Mateo Franco knows firsthand how powerful chiropractic care can be. Growing up as an athlete, he relied on chiropractic to stay strong on the soccer and football fields.
But it wasn’t until years of pain caught up with him in college that he truly discovered the difference chiropractic makes, not just for back pain, but for the health of the entire nervous system. With consistent care, his body healed in ways doctors didn’t think were possible, and that experience set him on a mission to help others do the same.​

"His care goes above and beyond"​
As a first time patient to chiropractic care, Dr. Mateo squashed any myth I had ever heard within the first few minutes of my assessment.
Dr. Mateo dedicates his life and practice to the betterment of his patients for an overall healthier, decreased pain and better mobility future! His care goes above and beyond the adjustment, he makes sure you leave every visit with a smile and a positive attitude to continue your self care at home.
I always thought getting twisted like a pretzel and cracking like pop rocks was chiropractic care. The method he uses for adjustment is so minimal and comfortable, no twisting and popping whatsoever!
I would suggest anyone to come see what Dr. Mateo can do for your quality of life at any age! - Blake B.

"My experience is fantastic"
I started going for help with vertigo and didn’t know what to expect with my encounter. I’ve been going for a month now and at my first progress exam, my vertigo has already been significantly improved along with energy and range of motion-which I didn’t even know needed help with!
I’m very excited to see where the rest of this journey to health takes me! The office is so comfortable, the staff also really cares about not only your health but you as a person- they’re a great support!
Dr. Mateo is just the best at making sure you’re educated and comfortable with the treatment plan he goes over with you.
Overall my experience is fantastic and will continue to come here for any chiropractic needs. - Elizabeth F.

"One of the best decisions"​
I am so thankful I found Dr. Mateo and this practice. It is apparent that he genuinely wants to help improve the lives of his patients, and has given me a chance to enjoy my everyday activities without constant back pain.
The improvements are measurable, and the “homework” is reasonable. Highly recommend at least going for an initial exam and hearing the potential for improvement.
By far one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health in a long time. - Ashley F.

The Benefits of Torque Release Technique (TRT)
The Torque Release Technique (TRT) is one of the most advanced, research-based chiropractic methods available today. Unlike traditional adjustments that rely on twisting, popping, or cracking, TRT uses a gentle, handheld instrument called the Integrator to deliver a precise, low-force adjustment to the spine and nervous system.
​
Benefits of TRT include:
​
-
Gentle & Comfortable: Perfect for patients who may be nervous about traditional chiropractic adjustments.
-
Highly Precise: Adjustments are delivered exactly where your nervous system needs them, with no guesswork.
-
Neurologically Focused: TRT is designed to restore proper communication between the brain and body, which can help unlock your body’s natural healing ability.
-
Safe for All Ages: From kids to seniors, TRT offers a gentle, effective approach for people of all backgrounds.
-
Consistent Results: Because the technique is so specific, patients often notice faster and more lasting improvements.
TRT vs. Activator
TRT and the Activator Method are similar in that they both use handheld instruments to deliver gentle adjustments without the need for manual twisting or popping. However, there are key differences:
​
-
Activator: The Activator tool delivers a quick, mechanical thrust to specific areas of the spine. It’s widely used and can be effective, but it mainly focuses on joint movement.
-
TRT: The Integrator instrument used in TRT was developed through chiropractic research to be even more precise and neurologically based. Instead of simply moving joints, TRT works at the level of the nervous system, aiming to correct the underlying patterns that cause dysfunction in the first place.
In other words, while Activator adjustments help joints move better, TRT goes deeper by helping your brain and body communicate more effectively. This makes TRT not just about symptom relief, but about long-term healing and regeneration.
