Dr. Todd built Ethos Chiropractic around a single idea: that the body already knows how to heal — it just needs the nerve interference removed. He uses Torque Release Technique, delivered in a calm, private setting where every visit is personal and every plan has a reason.
Chiropractor & founder · Torque Release Technique
Dr. Todd trained at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Florida — the institution that pioneered chiropractic education. He came to Grand Junction with a clear mission: bring Torque Release Technique to the Grand Valley and give families a gentler, more precise path to lasting health. His approach begins with the nervous system, not the symptom.
Most people who walk through our door are not chiropractic regulars — they are workers who tweaked their back hiking the Monument, parents who have been managing pain for years, and athletes who need more than rest. Grand Junction is an active place. We keep up with it.
From sit-all-day stiffness to acute disc flare-ups. Most patients feel meaningful change inside two to four visits.
Forward-head posture, sleeping wrong, or post-accident whiplash — often paired with shoulder tension and chronic headaches.
Cervicogenic headaches respond particularly well to neurologically-based upper-cervical care. Finding the source, not masking it.
Radiating leg pain, numbness, or tingling. We often combine TRT adjustments with spinal decompression for disc-related cases.
SoftWave Therapy is particularly effective for rotator cuff irritation, frozen shoulder, and knee pain that has not responded to rest.
Plantar fasciitis, heel pain, and ankle dysfunction — SoftWave acoustic wave therapy stimulates tissue repair where traditional care stalls.
Gentle, trimester-appropriate techniques for low back, hip, and pelvic discomfort. Supporting your body through every stage of pregnancy naturally.
Light, age-appropriate adjustments for growth-related complaints, sports stress, sleep posture, and the everyday tumbles of childhood.
Conservative, adapted care for older adults navigating arthritis, postural changes, or balance concerns — focused on function and daily comfort.
Hikers, cyclists, climbers — Grand Junction is hard on bodies. We address the structural and neurological side of sports injury and recovery.
Thorough documentation, clear communication with your adjuster, and a recovery plan with a real end-point — not one that drags on indefinitely.
When pain has been present for years, the nervous system is often where the pattern lives. That is exactly what Torque Release Technique addresses.
Every patient gets a real exam and a plan built around what your nervous system is actually telling us. These are the approaches we draw from — matched to you specifically, not applied by habit.
The only TRT provider in Grand Junction. A gentle, instrument-assisted adjustment that precisely targets nerve interference at the spinal cord — no twisting, no cracking, one of the most researched techniques in chiropractic.
Adjustments informed by how your nervous system is communicating — not just where you feel pain. This distinction is what separates lasting change from temporary relief.
Acoustic wave technology that stimulates the body's own repair signals for foot, ankle, shoulder, and knee pain. Non-invasive, no downtime, and effective for conditions that have not responded to other conservative care.
Motorized traction designed to relieve pressure on compressed discs and irritated nerve roots — addressing the structural component of sciatica, disc herniation, and chronic lumbar pain.
Gentle, supported techniques appropriate for every trimester and the postpartum months that follow. Supporting your body so that pregnancy can be experienced as naturally as possible.
Feather-light, age-appropriate adjustments for newborns, children, and teens. We care for whole families — because optimal nervous system function is for every stage of life.
Gentle, adapted care for older adults managing arthritis, balance concerns, or long-standing postural issues — focused on function, comfort, and quality of life in the Grand Valley.
"We do not chase the pain — we restore the signal. Your body already knows how to heal."

No guesswork. No "let's see how it goes." Here is exactly what happens when you walk in for the first time.
Bring your insurance card and a photo ID. We will have you in and seated without a long wait.
Dr. Todd sits down with you and listens first. What hurts, for how long, what you have already tried, and what you actually need to be able to do.
We assess how your nervous system is functioning — not just where it hurts. This is what makes the TRT approach different from standard chiropractic.
You will leave with a clear plan, a realistic timeline, and a straight answer to "how long until I feel better." No fourteen-page packets, no high-pressure sales.
Most new patients receive their first TRT adjustment the same day. If today is not the right day, we will reschedule — no charge.
A consistent five-star rating from Grand Junction patients. Quotes below are paraphrased excerpts from public reviews.
Dr. Todd is phenomenal. He genuinely cares about the outcome — not just the visit. The Torque Release adjustments are so precise and gentle. I have been to several chiropractors and this is truly different.
I came in with chronic low back pain I had managed for years. After a few sessions the difference was remarkable. He explains everything and does not push unnecessary visits.
My daughter had been struggling with headaches for months. After just a few gentle adjustments with Dr. Todd, they have nearly disappeared. We drive from across the valley — worth every minute.
I was skeptical of chiropractic but my back pain was at the point where I needed to try something. Dr. Todd explained the technique clearly, never pressured me, and the results have been real.
If the question on your mind is not here, just call us — we would rather answer it now than have you wonder.
TRT is a specific, instrument-assisted chiropractic technique that uses a small adjusting tool called an Integrator. It delivers a precise, gentle impulse to the spinal cord and nerve roots — targeting the neurological component of your spine, not just the structural one. Ethos is the only clinic in Grand Junction offering this technique.
Most new patients notice a meaningful change inside two to four visits. Chronic, long-standing conditions take longer — we will give you an honest read after your first exam, not a generic visit-count.
TRT adjustments are among the gentlest in chiropractic — there is no twisting, cracking, or high-velocity thrust. Most patients describe the sensation as barely noticeable. If you have had a painful chiropractic experience elsewhere, this is worth trying.
Yes — we offer pregnancy-specific positioning and gentle techniques appropriate for every trimester. Chiropractic care during pregnancy can ease lower back, hip, and pelvic discomfort and support a more comfortable experience overall.
Yes. Pediatric adjustments at Ethos are feather-light — often nothing more than fingertip pressure. Many parents bring their newborns in within weeks of birth. Age-appropriate technique means no adult-level force, ever.
SoftWave uses acoustic wave technology to stimulate the body's own healing and reduce pain in areas like the foot, shoulder, or knee. It is non-invasive, requires no downtime, and is often effective for conditions that have not responded to other conservative care.
It depends on how long the issue has been present and how your body responds. We do not sell prepaid packages or push more visits than necessary. After your exam we will give you a clear plan with a realistic timeline.
No. Chiropractors are primary-contact providers in Colorado. You can call or email us directly — no referral needed.
