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.

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!
—Jenny C.​
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.
—Bernadine R., Santa Cruz​
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”.
—Brad A., Santa Cruz​
