Physicians must reconnect with their own personal, emotional, and spiritual self. Dr David Cumes comments on this: “It is ego that leads physicians to believe they know best.. It is ego that enjoys the patient who shuts up, follows instructions, and falls into the role of passive victim with the disease. Many physicians become disconnected from their spiritual self because of the rigors of their profession, and are thus incapable of ‘seeing’ the souls of their patients. Some physicians are wounded in the medical training process and so this becomes a deterrent to their ability to heal themselves or their patients. Some of the best Western physicians have shamanic abilities and often put them to good use without realizing it. However, Western medicine has difficulty validating these nonobjective methods that are not easily measured. The portal to this alternative healing is the right brain, and, for this, we need to open the heart. We need more heart in our modern system and a little less intellect.”

The technique used for Gentle Touch Chiropractic is called Directional Non-Force Technique or DNFT.  This technique is different from most traditional techniques and any other technique currently available in the Quad Cities.  With DNFT, there are no hard pushes, twists, snaps, or cracks.  Just gentle corrections that most patients find very effective.

DNFT works directly with  your body’s nervous system to find out what’s wrong.  In  addition to correcting any bones out of place, using DNFT helps to correct other components– like the discs between the spinal bones, ligaments and even muscles that could be causing problems in the nervous system.

Most DNFT patients report that they need fewer adjustments to feel better and for their body to heal.  Patients with arthritis, TMJ problems, sciatica, disk herniation, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck and back pain, and headaches have all reported relief with this technique.

Even lower extremity problems like leg, hip, or knee pain typically respond well.  Patients have even experienced relief with conditions like menstrual cramps, asthma, sinus trouble, digestive problems and acid reflux.

DNFT is also very safe during pregnancy.
