Directional Non-Force Technique is the original low force method of chiropractic developed by the late Dr. Richard VanRumpt (1904 - 1987) and now researched and taught by his successor, Christopher John.  Known by the acronym "D.N.F.T.," it is unique in conception and has been the fountainhead for many other low force techniques in existence today.

D.N.F.T. utilizes a diagnostic system for subluxation analysis consisting of gentle challenging and a unique leg check. This testing allows the body itself to indicate the directions of misalignment of structures that are producing nerve interference.

A gentle but directionally specific thumb impulse provides a long lasting correction to bony and soft tissue structures. D.N.F.T. is able to achieve structural corrections without  torqueing, strong thrusts, and associated articular sounds that are often associated with traditional chiropractic.

D.N.F.T. is a patient oriented approach and provides maximum, long lasting relief in a safe and effective manner. Low numbers of initial visits without the need for frequent follow up is the clear intention of this method.
