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. Dr. Katie Griffin is passionate about her work as a Santa Cruz chiropractor and has been committed to providing the holistic care and attention patients need since 1990.

When asked why she cares so much, Dr. Griffin says with a smile, "I just love to help people, whether I help them or refer them to the person who does, I'm confident they will recover quickly and their pain will be gone". She is a graduate of the University of California Los Angeles with a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology, the study of human motion.

Dr. Katie Griffin is amazing, I work in gardens and have an elderly mother at home who needs assistance getting into bed. I went to Dr. Katie because my backache was beginning to affect my work, her adjustments and simple advice has kept me pain free and able to do all the things I need to do. Dr. Katie's nonforce method produces lasting results in a few visits.

This is what chiropractic work should all be like! This non-primitive technique is amazing! I used to cringe going to chiropractors, and I have seen some great ones..but they all want to crack you like an egg. I had no idea this style was available, and am so glad I found it, and it lasts!

Dr. Katie Griffin utilizes an incredible technique to restore alignment and balance with a non-force, gentle approach. Her demeanor is as gentle and healing as her technique. She is unlike other chiropractors. The way she performs adjustments is so calming, that it is possible to sleep through a session. Her adjustments hold, so people usually only need a few visits with her. The office is clean and bright, and the front desk staff is friendly and kind. Dr. Griffin's years of experience truly shows with her ability to help people feel more centered, connected and comfortable in their bodies again

Integrity combined with knowledge, experience and desire to help every one of her patients live a life filled with freedom of movement. This is what I have come to trust in Dr. Griffin. Her type of non force Chiropractic care opens up the body's natural ability to heal and she gets results 100% of the time. This is the kind of healing that works fast and lasts, in fact, she releases you from her care as soon as the injury has healed. She is dedicated to her profession and to helping her patients live a pain free life. This is why I recommend her if you need a Chiropractor you can trust.

Dr. Katie Griffin is an outstanding example of a medical practitioner who is not only extraordinarily skilled, she is also deeply compassionate and focussed on healing! She really means it when she says 3-6 visits EVER. I've seen her 3 times and her work shifted my body in a way that 7 years of visiting other practitioners did not. Amazing. Simply amazing.

I have been seeing Dr. Katie for about 3 years now. She has fixed me! I have been struggling with migraines, jaw pain, and low back pain for about a decade. I just about gave up! Until I made the best decision I had ever made about my health. I went to see Dr Katie. Her method really works! I only see her on occasion now when my body get a bit out of sorts. She fixed my jaw completely, I have an occasional migraine and my low back has been fixed. Thank you Dr Katie and giving me my freedom back. I really appreciate it!

I can not say enough about Dr. Katie Griffin -- she is an amazingly savvy and smart woman and is an utterly fantastic Chiropractor. I had my first appointment with her today and she explains her process so elegantly and interestingly -- it was fascinating to witness.
I was hesitant to go to a chiropractor, yet once I met Katie, I knew I was in good hands. My back already feels looser and I'm more comfortable than I've been in a long time.
Do yourself a favor...book an appointment with Katie...you'll feel like you've been to the spa, yet you'll receive powerful results.

Dr. Griffin has put me back together after various sports and life injuries. Her method is gentle and her intuition and professional knowledge about what needs to be adjusted is precise. In addition to re-aligning my spine and other bones, Dr. Griffin also adjusts my ligaments and connective "stuff" (I'm no pro so I don't know the language) which makes a difference in keeping everything in alignment! When I have a visit with Dr. Griffin I know I am getting the best care possible for my body.

I love Dr. Katie! I I have been going to chiropractors religiously after having back surgery several years ago. One of the greatest benefits of using Dr. Katie is that she can fix you in just a few visits rather than continuous on-going treatment. Not only does by back feel great, but I've saved a ton of money over the past few years! Thanks Dr. Katie.
