So, then why do chiropractors crack? And is there an alternative, perhaps one that might even produce better results?

When chiropractors “adjust” a joint, the cracking noise you may hear is simply the release of gases that have built up in the joint. But more is occurring at the same time. If the joint that is being worked on was out of place, also known as a subluxation, the thrust that the chiropractor performs can also realign the joint, thus hopefully leaving you feeling better when you walk out than when you walk in.

Research has shown that chiropractic adjustments can decrease pain, muscle tension, and inflammation, as well as improve mobility, range of motion, and much more.

But not all chiropractors believe a “crack” is necessary to get those results. In fact, there are many who practice another form of chiropractic in which a simple touch, they claim, will achieve the same and even better results. This form of chiropractic is called “non-force” chiropractic.

DNFT – It’s not just for those who prefer the light touch; there’s compelling evidence it’s for those who want the best touch.

DNFT or Directional Non-Force Technique is a gentle, yet very powerful form of chiropractic that can deliver amazing, healing results without the customary crack.

Using a precise method of locating misalignments, and a less invasive, softer more gentle technique, DNFT chiropractic helps patients respond and heal more quickly than with the more customary, forceful forms of chiropractic care.

According to Dr. Katie Griffin, a Santa Cruz, CA chiropractor specializing in DNFT, the process is so gentle, you might feel tempted to nap. “I do a thorough examination to locate any misalignments,” says Dr. Griffin. “Once I determine what needs to be adjusted, I begin with the gentlest of touch to the body to make the necessary corrections. In fact, the process is so gentle that my patients often fall asleep on the table!”

But gentle doesn’t mean it’s not powerful. DNFT patients the world over swear by the technique, and many claim that DNFT was able to accomplish for them what years of traditional chiropractic adjustments never could. Just read Dr. Griffin’s 30 5-star reviews at Yelp for proof.

So if the thought of being twisted and cracked, squeezed and jerked scares you and keeps you from going to a chiropractor, now you have another option.

But where can you find a DNFT chiropractor?

Apparently DNFT chiropractors belong to a small, elite group and might be hard to find. Check out the DNFT website to see if you can find a practitioner near you, but keep in mind that this form of chiropractic claims to get you painfree in fewer visits than traditional chiropractic – and testimonials from patients seem to confirm that. So driving a few extra miles could be worth your time and gasoline!

Whatever the case, just remember…

Not all chiropractic is all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, many don’t crack at all. And, apparently, nor do they need to.

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. — If you live in Kentucky and are proud about the care
you give to your body and to the planet, you can show everyone by purchasing
a new specialty license plate.

“The Go Green Go Chiropractic marketing initiative helps
Kentucky Chiropractors and patients unite in their efforts to spread
awareness of the unique benefits of Chiropractic,” The Kentucky
Chiropractic Association, Inc. said. “The license plate makes a statement
that we’re proud of Kentucky’s Chiropractors and the people who are
treated by and support them. It also will encourage people who see it to
find out what Go Green Go Chiropractic is all about.”
“The entire motivation behind getting a specialty plate like
this was to unite the Chiropractors in Kentucky around something
positive.” Jonathan Boggs, legal counsel for the Kentucky Chiropractic
Association, Inc.(the “KCA”) said. “We had some difficulty getting
the design approved because the Kentucky Transportation Department didn’t
understand how Chiropractic was ‘Green.’ That confusion shows just how
important a plate like this is: the public at large have no idea how unique
Chiropractic is and how our healthcare choices affect the world around
us.”
Sales of the plate benefit the Kentuckiana Children’s Center,
a nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve the lives of Children
by providing a foundation for healing through integrative Chiropractic
care. Counselor Boggs noted, “The members of the KCA specifically chose
not to have any identifying marks on the plate, or to have the donations go
the the KCA because the plate isn’t just for our members, it is for all
chiropractors and chiropractic patients in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and
we hope to spread the ‘Go Green Go Chiropractic’ initiative
worldwide.”
The stunning Go Green Go Chiropractic specialty license plate
design contains a spine and growing plant and the slogan, “GO GREEN GO
CHIROPRACTIC” all in an attractive mixture or green and white.
