Dr. Randy Meltzer, who received his doctor of chiropractic degree from New York Chiropractic College, is a practitioner of a specific kind of chiropractic called Directional Non-Force Technique (DNFT). DNFT, regarded as the original low force method of chiropractic medicine, attempts to correct subluxations (an incomplete dislocation of a joint causing pressure on nerves)) where they occur within the human body. There are important characteristics of DNFT that sets practitioners like Dr. Randy Meltzer apart from practitioners of other schools of chiropractic medicine.
As with many other schools of chiropractic , the aim of the treatment is to identify and correct subluxations. In DNFT, this is done by utilizing a specific type of low-force corrective thrust administered by the practitioner's thumb. Patients are subjected to a sequence of subluxation corrections that are different during each visit. This process is called “retracing”.
What distinguishes DNFT from other chiropractic styles is the retracing style of diagnostic tests as opposed to the use of X-rays or other diagnostic tools. Practitioners maintain that the “innate intelligence” of the body yields better results than other diagnostic tools.
