Meet Dr. Hawes
Dr. Jennifer Hawes has been serving Chico and surrounding areas with chiropractic care since 1998. She first got interested in chiropractic after she had a diving accident when she was in high school. She suffered from neck pain and headaches until her first adjustment with Directional Non-Force Technique®. She found that her pain that she suffered from for eight years went away within three visits and never came back.
​
Dr. Hawes then started learning Direcitonal Non-Force Technique® from Dr. John, the head of the technique and practiced in his office for over a year before deciding to open her own practice in Chico.
​
Beginning in 2017, Dr. Hawes returned to her alma mater Life Chiropractic College West to teach an elective course in Directional Non-Force Technique®.

About Directional Non-Force Technique Chiropractic
Directional Non-Force Technique® Chiropractic was founded Dr. Richard Van Rumpt, D.C. in the 1930's. Over the years, it was further developed by his successor, Christopher John, D.C. Directional Non-Force Technique® involves a careful analysis and correction of subluxations. We use a reflex in the body that indicates when a structure is causing nerve interference. When a malpositioned structure is touched, the reflex causes one leg to look short in comparison to the other. We call this the leg reflex. Once we find a misaligned structure, we can test it three-dimensionally to see which way it has gone. Using minimal force, we apply an impulse in the corrective direction to the bones, discs, ligaments, and muscles. When we get all of these structures properly aligned, we get long lasting results.
