What is the purpose of D.N.F.T.®?
The
purpose of D.N.F.T.® is to fulfill the highest aspirations
of chiropractic. This includes relieved pain and improved health
by structurally aligning the body and thereby removing nerve interference.
When the nervous system is free from the distress of structural
insults, it can orchestrate the natural healing potential of the
body.
What makes D.N.F.T.® different from other forms of chiropractic?
Chiropractic
has, over the years, taken many forms in its methods of application.
D.N.F.T.® employs a unique and sophisticated
method of diagnosis. This procedure allows the patient’s
body itself to indicate the existence and precise location of nerve
interference as well as the directions of misalignment of the structure
in question.
With such precise information, it requires no more
than a light force thumb thrust to introduce a complete and long
lasting correction to any structure in the body.
What are the causes of misalignments of the spine?
The most common cause of spinal misalignments is trauma.
Trauma, however, has broad definition and may take many different
forms including even a relatively light pressure on a specific
point over a period of time. For example, our research has suggested
that one’s head tilted backwards over the lip of a hairdresser’s
shampoo basin often causes neck problems. Our clinic experience
suggests that certain deep tissue procedures may also have the
potential to produce subluxations.
What are the advantages in receiving D.N.F.T.® type
of chiropractic?
Some potential chiropractic
patients have been reluctant to receive chiropractic care because
they do not like the type of thrusting and popping sounds which
they might receive with conventional chiropractic. D.N.F.T.® involves
no hard thrusts or popping sounds as the correction is delivered
by a light impulse of the thumb. Many patients appreciate the specificity
and attention to detail which results in profound and long lasting
corrections to their problems. Another advantage is the relatively
few number of visits required for both initial correction and maintenance.
How many visits does it require to correct a chiropractic
problem?
This will vary with each patient as a result of
the nature of the problem, the patient’s history, the extent
of the involved areas of the spine, and certain other factors.
On the average, a given area (such as neck or low back) may take
two to six adjustments to achieve relief of symptoms of that area.
A full spine correction may take six to ten treatments for the
average patient. A very difficult or complicated case might take
ten to fifteen or more adjustments. Whatever the situation, D.N.F.T.® chiropractic
has the clear intention to handle all chiropractic structural
problems with the fewest number of visits.
Isit true that one must have frequent adjustments
for hold the correction received?
From a D.N.F.T.® viewpoint, the need for frequent
visits suggest that the structure has not actually been properly
or completely realigned in all respects. This assumes that no
new injuries or aggravating factors have occurred since a previous
visit. With D.N.F.T.® chiropractic, frequent visits
are not necessary once a problem has been completely corrected.
Does stress cause misalignment? If so, wouldn’t
it render the D.N.F.T.® chiropractic treatments ineffective?
Unless
the stress is very severe, it usually doesn’t create
specific misalignments. Stress may, however, accentuate or exaggerate
the effect of misalignments which are already present. If one
feels many pains under stress, then it is an indication that
misalignments have already been there. It is our experience
that mild to moderate stress on a properly aligned patient
does not alter corrections. Patients who received a treatment
while under emotional or work related pressure report an
increased ability to handle stress in general.
