About the practice

Santa Cruz NonForce Chiropractors is a full-service chiropractic treatment facility.

We offer a Non-traditional method of chiropractic called Directional Non-Force Technique® (DNFT®). DNFT® is a gentle technique that delivers highly-effective results, often beyond expectations and without the torque and strong force often associated with traditional chiropractic. It is practiced by only a handful of elite practitioners, and Dr. Masi Bayless
and Dr.Megan Ng are proud to be two of them.

  • Megan Ng
    Directional Non-Force Technique (DNFT) Chiropractic

    After experiencing headaches with traditional chiropractic adjustments at school, Dr. Megan was drawn to DNFT as a gentle and safe alternative to facilitating nervous system function.  With her first DNFT adjustment, she was surprised at how positively her body responded. She felt more balanced, experienced a dramatic increase in sleep quality, and her headaches went away. She appreciated the logical and systematic analysis of DNFT and knew it would allow her to effectively deliver patient centered care using a whole-body approach. Eager to share the benefits of low force adjusting with other students, she worked with Dr. Christopher John, DC, president of the technique, to bring DNFT Club to Life Chiropractic College West.

Testimonials

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

    I just had an amazing visit with Dr. Masi yesterday. My neck had been bothering me for some time and I had resisted getting treatment, especially chiropractic because of past experiences. This was totally different. The treatment was not what I had expected. In fact I had no idea what to expect. I am looking forward to the remaining treatments with Dr. Masi!

    These ladies work miracles! Anyone who tells me they’re in pain… I send them here! Masi helped me after a major fall when my wrists were left inflamed and in pain. After one adjustment, the pain left and never came back.

    Dr. Bayless at Santa Cruz non-force Chiropractors is great. She helped me with my shoulder injury and didn’t try to set me up on some long contract full of multiple appointments. I really appreciate the non-force technique as I feel a lot better without all the “cracking”.
