Our Techniques

Funnell Chiropractic in Rockingham primarily utilises a chiropractic analysis and adjusting technique called Torque Release Technique (TRT).

Dr. Funnell adjusting a patient.

TRT adjustments are very precise and are delivered by a light thrust by hand or by a hand-held instrument known as an Integrator™.  It should be noted that the primary goal of adjusting is to allow better adaptation of the central nerve system function to the environment.

Many people notice a tremendous sense of relaxation and well being after a TRT adjustment.  Most people take deep sighs after these adjustments as their bodies release deep neurological stresses that have been accumulating over the years. Overall, it’s always a very pleasant and enjoyable experience. It is very important to note that TRT is not a treatment for specific conditions or diseases. 

TRT is likely to be of benefit when your body's immune system is depleted because of neurological stresses, or, if your body is experiencing back pain due to neurological stresses.  The type of symptom really does not matter, since restoring nervous system integrity allows your whole body to heal and function better.

Is this technique safe for infants and children?

Dr. Funnell has found TRT to be the best approach he’s used with children of all ages – from birth through the teenager years. The technique is extremely gentle, with no forceful manipulation of the spine. Children really enjoy it and are often keen to be checked. read more»

Integrator™
What is the Integrator™?

The Integrator™ is a hand-held instrument that produces a specific, reproducible force.  The Integrator™ fires rapidly at 1/10,000th of a second and at a very specific frequency, providing a clean, dynamic thrust that is more accurately interpreted by the nervous system. This results in an accurate correction using much less force.

Dr Ross Asks some important questions of interest to Rockingham residents - Chiropractor Rockingham Dr Ross Asks...

How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
What controls every cell, tissue and organ of your body?
DNA? Wrong. Immune system? Wrong? Hormones? Wrong. It's your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body. When a chiropractor sees a Rockingham patient with say, stomach problems, we want to know why the brain is unable to properly control and regulate the stomach. Which prompts us to examine the nervous system—the focus of chiropractic care.
