In our office, we utilize Torque Release Technique (TRT). This is a technique that is gentle, specific, and scientific. It is backed by research and a technique that allows us to see people of all ages and stages. What is it, where did it come from, and why do we use it?

At TOV Chiropractic, we see people of all ages, from hours old to individuals well into their 80’s and 90’s. We value care for the whole family because high-quality healthcare is important for everyone.

Is it really a “sick season” or are there things we may be overlooking that are contributing to an uptick in sickness over the fall/winter months? It is important that we take time to consider why we are more prone to falling ill from September to February.

sEMG (or surface electromyography) is one of the three neurological assessments to assess function of the nervous system. Specifically, this one looks at the neuromuscular connection or how well the nervous system is communicating with the muscles supporting the spine.

In the United States, there are more than 70,000 licensed chiropractors and an estimated 35 million people visit them on a yearly basis. It has not always been this way, though.

With the turning of seasons and gearing up for school this month, changes can be tough on our kids. Some kids have an extra difficult time with focus, controlling impulsive behaviors, and being overly active. Sometimes, it gets to the point where it happens so frequently that it interferes with school, work, and other daily activities.

Did you know the average high school student’s backpack weighs around 20-30 pounds? For reference, this is the equivalent of 4 gallons of water, a desktop computer, a 50-inch television, or your average stroller.

Freedom from Subluxation

Freedom from subluxation happens through time and repetition of consistent chiropractic adjustments. Although there are things that society has deemed as “normal”, headaches, back pain, and neck pain, these things don’t have to be the norm.

Health care freedom is the ability to choose and have access to more non-traditional healthcare. It’s finding a provider that aligns with the decisions you desire to make for your health. So, ask yourself, what decision could you make today to help you move closer to the healthy life you desire to live? After all, your health depends on it.

One of the assessments we use to assess how the nervous system is functioning is the thermal scan. What we are looking for is differences or asymmetries of temperature along the spine. We are doing this because we are looking for inflammation along the spine and one of the cardinal signs of inflammation is heat.

Why choose chiropractic care during your pregnancy? Low back and hip pain as well as headaches are common reasons for seeking chiropractic care during your pregnancy. We can help with these things, but it is not our main goal. Our main goal is to influence your nervous system in a positive way by removing stress and subluxation that slows back and forth communication from the brain to the body.

Low back pain, exhaustion, heart burn, and sleepless nights seem to go hand in hand with pregnancy. Often times we accept these symptoms as a normal part of expecting our little bundle of joy. Although they are common, it is possible to have a comfortable pregnancy that you can enjoy. In fact, consistent chiropractic during pregnancy is so much more than just pain management. Our goal is not to fix your pain, our goal is to work with mom’s body to help create the greatest position possible for the healthiest birth for both mom and baby. So what are our chiro moms saying about chiropractic care during their pregnancy?
