Are You Here To Be A Healer? 181Alan J. Nuñez
“Be willing to hear wisdom from the most unlikely places.
You just never know where you will find it.”Dr. Al Nuñez graduated magna cum laude in 1982 from the Los Angeles
College of Chiropractic.
Dr. Nuñez has been researching and developing the 3-D
chiropractic technique, or 3-DCT, for over twenty years. 3-DCT
emphasizes that you can’t just treat the back without treating the front!
The back muscles are often tight in reaction or in compensation to tight
muscles in the chest or deep in the abdomen.
Dr. Nuñez has found that frightening or traumatic events in youth
often leave children or young adults with tension in their chest or stomach,
which can become chronic or rigid over time. Due to the flexibility inherent
in the young spine, these chronically tense muscles can cause distortion
or changes in the curvature of the spine. To put it simply: Emotional
tension leads to physical tension, physical tension over time leads to
rigidity, and rigidity is morbidity, meaning symptoms.
3-DCT is a non-force chiropractic treatment in that there is no
twisting, popping, or cracking involved in the adjustments of the spine
or limbs. Dr. Nuñez found that when the muscles are relaxed or balanced
that the bones move quite easily and a gentle thumb thrust is all that is
needed to restore motion to the joints.
In addition to 3-DCT Dr. Nuñez has developed a myofascial
technique designed to release or break up chronically tense muscles in
the body. It is called Pressure-Plus-Motion or PPM. PPM works hand-in-
hand with 3-DCT to more permanently relax the body and even more
importantly it can be taught to the patient! Patients learn how to help
themselves so they don’t need as many chiropractic adjustments to
achieve relief, and their adjustments and pain-relief lasts longer.
Dr. Nuñez is the author of the book, How To Keep Chiropractors
Off Your Back, which includes all the home pressure-plus-motion
exercises.

My philosophy of life affects everything I do. I use the same principles
in my home, at work, at my Kiwanis club, and at my church. I think I
learned a lot from my father during my childhood. He was an alcoholic,
