Force Technique (DNFT) for 30 years. The Directional Non Force Technique® is an 85-year-old
Chiropractic Solutions D
method developed by Dr. Richard Van Rumpt. It involves a precise analysis and correction of subluxations causing nerve interference, considering alignment from front to back (pos- terior), side to side (lateral), tilted, or back to front (anterior) and front to back (posterior). The bones, ligaments, muscles, and discs are aligned, utilizing the thumbs to adjust with a few ounces of force. The reactive leg reflex is the indicator utilized to determine which segments are out of alignment. This is a leg which dynamically shortens in response to a physical challenge to the malpositioned segment. Chiropractic problems require the location and removal of subluxation (a bone and its contiguous structures out of alignment causing nerve interference). However, Dr. Sparer treats the whole person, understanding that sometimes the body, mind, and spirit need to be addressed together to find true cause and restore health. Health is not merely the absence of disease: it is a state of physi- cal, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

Music to My Ears by Rafael López
The work of Rafael López is a fusion of strong graphic style and magical symbolism. While growing up in Mexico City, he was immersed in the rich cultural heritage and native color of street life. Influenced by Mexican surrealism, dichos, or sayings, and myths, he developed a style with roots in these traditions. For his illustrations for Book
Fiesta!, written by Pat Mora, López was the recipient of the 2010 Pura Belpré Illustrator Award, given by the American Library Association to honor work that best portrays, affirms and celebrates the Latino cultural experience in children’s books. López also envisioned and led the
Urban Art Trail Project that transformed San Diego’s blighted East Village with colorful murals, sculptures and art installations and serves as a model of urban renewal that has been imple- mented in cities around the nation. Of his colorful, imaginative art,
López says, “Style will never come when it is forced. It needs to happen naturally, as the result of experiences, travels, beliefs and the things that inspire you in everyday life, such as music, food, color, texture and family.”
Rafael López’s art is held in private collections worldwide. View his portfo- lio at
