Dr. Adam Del Torto, a 1984 graduate of NYCC, is the founder and developer of a specialized "balloon assisted" cranial adjusting technique called Cranial Facial Release (CFR), which often works on last-resort patients who have not responded to other forms of conventional treatment.

He is also the creator of a "CHIROPRACTIC ROCKS" – an annual convention designed to "Shape the Future of Chiropractic and Create the Next Generation of Chiropractic Legends."
