Torque Release Technique (TRT) in Bellingham
Torque Release Technique (TRT) is considered the most scientific chiropractic technique in the world. The method uses a very gentle touch and low-force thrusting by hand or a small, handheld instrument called the Integrator™. This adjusting method allows the nervous system to effectively integrate and better understand the new corrective information, and to process it throughout the spinal cord and brain.
Imagine your nervous system features volume control. If the volume is too loud, distortion results, and you may experience internal organ complaints, musculoskeletal stresses and a diminished immune response.
If that response is too weak, and your body doesn’t receive critical messages, you’ll likely feel sluggish and experience reduced performance and inadequate muscle support. TRT aims to correct these problems by regulating how the nerves, spinal cord and brain function.
After each adjustment, the body is given time to process the change. Correction continues with your body’s breathing and movements. This process instructs and encourages your body to make further corrections. With subsequent visits, your healing will progress.

The first is how specific it is. Dr. Noble can target and adjust a single segment of the spine with 100 percent confidence. A second benefit is how well he can target C1 and C2 (top of the spine where the head sits on the spine). This area of the spine is very nerve-rich and needs to be adjusted with a high degree of confidence and care. “TRT allows me to be very specific in this region, which creates better outcomes,” said Dr. Noble.
