We are a unique chiropractic practice in Glendale, AZ that offers the latest technique in Chiropractic, called TRT (Torque Release Technique). This technique is a gentle and effective method to correct spinal misalignments without any twisting, popping or cracking.

This method is one of the most scientifically researched chiropractic techniques in the world and uses the only FDA approved instrument to correct spinal misalignments. We combine this gentle adjusting technique with state-of-the-art therapies including spinal decompression, class 2 and 4 lasers, shockwave therapy and spinal rehabilitation to optimize outcomes. We treat all ages from birth-100. Our state-of-the-art neuropathy treatment program utilizes the latest technologies and FDA approved home equipment and nutrition to help people with peripheral neuropathy without drugs, shots or surgery.

• Give us a brief description about yourself (it should include your brief educational or entrepreneurial background and list some of your major achievements).
Dr. David Iszler is a 1994 Summa Cum Laude graduate of Palmer Chiropractic University. He is board certified in neuropathy, as well as holding certifications in Torque Release Technique, Webster Technique and spinal decompression. Sheryl Iszler graduated from the University of Wyoming in 2002 with her Masters Degree in Social Work. She was a school social worker for 8 years until joining her husband in practice in 2010. Together, they owned a chiropractic practice and weight loss center in Casper, WY until selling it in 2018 to move to Glendale, AZ, where they opened Trinity Chiropractic in March, 2019.
• What inspired you to (start a new business venture) or (to make significant changes in an existing business)?
We had been vacationing in Arizona for several years and fell in love with the Phoenix area. We planned to move here after retiring. However, an opportunity presented itself to sell our practice in Wyoming and move much earlier than our original plan.
• How did the idea for your business come about?
We wanted to create a unique and modern chiropractic wellness center that utilized a gentle and effective research-based chiropractic technique, along with state-of-the-art therapies and spinal rehabilitation to provide corrective chiropractic care.
• Who has been your greatest inspiration?
When we decided to move to Arizona and open a new practice, we visited some of the most successful practices in the country to see what methods they use to get outstanding results with their patients.
• What makes you different from other businesses in your industry?
People are focusing more on taking better care of themselves using natural health care solutions. Many people do not realize there are alternative chiropractic techniques that provide gentle and effective results without the twisting, popping and cracking associated with traditional chiropractic methods. Peripheral neuropathy cases continue to rise. Generally, these patients are told that there is nothing that can be done to help their condition and are just prescribed medication that alters the brain’s perception of their condition. They are often told that they will have to “learn to live with it” and will probably end up with a walker, in a wheelchair or needing an amputation. Using the latest technologies, we are able to help these people without drugs or surgery. We are in a network of over 500 physicians nationwide who have helped tens of thousands of people with nerve damage with a 95-97% success rate.
• To what do you most attribute your success?
We work to develop relationships with our patients and treat them as unique individuals rather than a
number. We also provide numerous services not often found at other chiropractic practices.
• What do you think is the best way to achieve long-term success in business?
Adaptability to the changing landscape of business is key to long-term success. You need to be able to recognize the need to make necessary changes and stay ahead of the curve.
• Where you see yourself and your business in 5 – 10 years?
Our vision is to realize our full potential by becoming the West Valley’s premier state-of-the-art wellness center for natural healing while providing positive and uplifting experiences to our patients, team members and community.
• Excluding yours, what company or business do you admire the most?
Tesla is definitely at the top of the list. Elon Musk is a visionary who is willing to push the envelope of what people think is possible. He is not afraid to take a chance on something new and risk failure. He is quick to adapt and change course when necessary.
• Who is your target demographic?
Men and women, aged 40-60, who suffer from chronic pain and who are looking for a long-term solution rather than a “quick fix,” and have tried other treatments without success.
• Please list 3-5 talking points about your business that you feel are most relevant to your target audience.
- There are chiropractic techniques that do not use twisting, popping or cracking. Our adjusting technique, TRT, was developed out of research at the University of Miami School of Medicine by a doctor who is an MD, DC and has his PhD in research. He took what he felt were the 7 most effective methods of chiropractic and developed this technique out of that research. It uses the only FDA-approved instrument, called the Integrator, to adjust spinal misalignments.

• What is your favorite aspect of being an entrepreneur?
Our favorite aspect of being entrepreneurs is building something from scratch and seeing our vision come to life.
• What has been your most satisfying moment in business?
Every patient’s success story is a uniquely satisfying moment. However, the one that stands out the most is when one of our neuropathy patients, who had needed a walker for several years to get around, came walking into our office without it. When asked about it, he replied, “Oh, I don’t need that thing anymore.” That was truly one of the highlights of our career.
• What kind of culture exists in your organization? How did you establish this tone and why did you institute this particular type of culture?
We have a strong culture of family in our practice. We care about our employees and want to help them get the most out of life. Our patients also often become part of our Trinity Chiropractic family because they see how much we care about them as a person, rather than just a patient.
