In 1895, Dr. D.D. Palmer discovered chiropractic when he adjusted the first chiropractic patient, Harvey Lillard. Harvey went deaf at an early age. After his first adjustment, Harvey's hearing was restored. The foundation of chiropractic is the nervous system's ability to coordinate all functions and the body's innate potential to heal itself. The nervous system also allows the body to adapt to its internal and external environment in order to create a state of well-being. Simply stated, chiropractic allows your body to function at its best at all times.
Chiropractors look for nerve interference. Nerve interference happens when the spinal bones misalign and interfere with the communication between the brain and body. Nerve interference causes the body to respond in a variety of ways that limit the body's ability to function. Once the chiropractor locates nerve interference, they will make a gentle adjustment. The adjustment restores the spinal bone to the proper position facilitating proper communication from the brain to the body, allowing practice members to function at their best.
Dr. Guida and Dr. Carter are Advanced Certified in Torque Release Technique (TRT). TRT is the most highly researched chiropractic technique. At its core TRT is about delivering the most specific chiropractic adjustment possible. TRT is a combination of both a precise analysis and a gentle adjustment utilizing the Integrator. The Integrator was the first FDA approved instrument for adjusting subluxations. Our analysis is designed to get to the specific vertebral level that is causing interference to the nervous system. Once our doctors have found that level, he/she makes a specific instrument adjustment to remove the interference allowing the nervous system to work at its optimal level. TRT is designed to give a gentle adjustment to people of any age.
