Directional Non-Force Technique

Directional Non-Force Technique (D.N.F.T.) is a low force method of chiropractic that utilizes a diagnostic system involving a unique type of leg check. This testing allows the body itself to indicate the directions of misaligned structures producing nerve interference in your body.

If the indication is to adjust the structure, then a light thumb impulse is delivered in the appropriate direction. If a vertebra is adjusted, then along with it is the analysis and correction of rib (if present), discs and ligaments.

D.N.F.T. is the original low force method of chiropractic that was developed by the late Dr. Richard VanRumpt (1904 - 1987). While still in chiropractic college he found that the mere pressure of spinal palpation would produce structural, symptomatic, and physiologic changes. He concluded that a low force approach could not only be an alternative to the more forceful methods taught in school, but might even surpass them in power and results. There are almost no contraindications, and the effects are as powerful on a young child as a mature well-developed athlete.

The D.N.F.T. technique we use is constantly evolving and presently represents over 70 years of clinic research and experience. And patient satisfaction!

 Dr. Shelly Asks some important questions of interest to Boulder residents - Chiropractor Boulder Dr. Shelly 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.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
