Dr. Arthur Tang practices Directional Non-Force Technique® (DNFT®), a highly effective approach that enables the body to restore its alignment. DNFT® protocols work with the body’s own nervous system to identify areas where the body is holding protective tension. The adjustments gently guide the patient’s muscles, bones, discs, and connective tissues, without forceful maneuvers. When the nervous system feels safe and receives the right information, the muscles naturally relax, allowing joints and tissues to return to alignment following the doctor's adjustments. The light, directional adjustments help the body achieve lasting alignments and deep relaxation. For more information on DNFT®, see dnftchiropractic.com/method.
Dr. Tang’s passion for DNFT® chiropractic is rooted in his own healing journey. At age eight, he had two head concussions that led to headaches, nighttime seizures, temporary vision loss, and a severe spinal curve (scoliosis). After brain wave measurements, a neurologist suggested seizure-reduction medication that had many side effects. DNFT® chiropractic care provided by Dr. Katie Griffin (retired) in Santa Cruz fully resolved the scoliosis within seven days, with all remaining symptoms gradually disappearing afterward without the use of medication. Dr. Tang is committed to helping people of all ages achieve optimal mobility and overall function using DNFT® methods. He is part of an elite group of DNFT® practitioners, and stays current with new DNFT® development taught by Christopher John DC.
