I looked at and semi (as good as my limited knowledge would allow) tested the tracks they seem to be aligned but I do not want to cause further damage. Any help is appreciated in instructing me on how to raise the door and utilize my garage.

OK, now I see what you have. I have the same type of system. Without the center spring it'll be heavy. The spring assists in the lifting of the door.
You
might be able to help lift the door manually while someone pushes the door remote.
A buddy of mine had his center spring replaced after I showed him that article. Shop around I
think he paid about $125.
No problem asking questions ask away.
