Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP)

Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) represents the cutting edge of scientific, evidence-based spinal correction. This advanced approach goes beyond traditional chiropractic by incorporating detailed biomechanical analysis and precise corrective methods to achieve long-term structural improvements in your spine.

The Science of Spinal Correction

CBP is distinguished by its foundation in mathematics, physics, and engineering principles applied to spinal health. Unlike approaches that focus primarily on immediate symptom relief, CBP aims to create measurable, lasting changes in spinal structure and alignment.

Think of your spine as the foundation of a building—if it's not properly aligned, it affects everything built upon it. CBP works to correct the underlying structural issues that cause symptoms, rather than just addressing the symptoms themselves.

The CBP Assessment: Precision in Analysis

What truly sets CBP apart is its comprehensive, objective assessment process:

Detailed Postural Analysis
I carefully evaluate your posture from multiple angles to identify deviations from optimal alignment. This includes checking for forward head posture, rounded shoulders, uneven hips, and other postural imbalances.
Specialized X-ray Analysis
CBP uses precise X-ray measurements to quantify exactly how your spine differs from ideal alignment. These measurements allow me to create a specific correction plan tailored to your unique spinal structure.
Digital Postural Assessment
Advanced digital tools help measure and document postural distortions with accuracy that isn't possible with visual assessment alone.

The Mirror Image® Approach to Correction

CBP's signature approach uses the concept of "mirror image" correction—essentially placing your spine in a position that's the opposite of its current misalignment to retrain and reshape the structure over time. This is achieved through:

Mirror Image Adjustments: Precise spinal adjustments that apply force in the specific direction needed to correct your unique spinal patterns.
Mirror Image Exercises: Customized exercises that strengthen muscles in a way that supports correct alignment while stretching tight tissues that contribute to misalignment.
Mirror Image Traction: Specialized traction setups that gently reshape the spine's curvature over time by applying consistent, gentle forces in the direction needed for correction.

The CBP Treatment Journey

CBP is a corrective process that occurs in phases:

Initial Relief Phase

Focus on reducing pain and inflammation
Beginning postural awareness training
Introduction to basic corrective exercises

Corrective Phase

Intensive spinal remodeling through consistent adjustments and traction
Progressive corrective exercises
Monitoring changes through comparative measurements
Typically lasts 6-12 months depending on your condition

Maintenance Phase

Less frequent visits to maintain corrections
Ongoing home exercises to support spinal health
Periodic reassessment to ensure lasting results

Conditions That Benefit from CBP

CBP is particularly effective for structural issues such as:

Abnormal spinal curvatures (too much or too little curve)
Forward head posture
Scoliosis
Disc degeneration

Chronic back or neck pain
Headaches related to posture
Poor posture affecting overall health
Text neck syndrome

Is CBP Right for You?

CBP represents a significant commitment to corrective care, but offers the potential for meaningful structural change rather than just temporary symptom relief. It's ideal for patients who:

Are seeking long-term correction rather than quick fixes
Have chronic or recurring conditions that haven't responded to other treatments
Are willing to actively participate in their care through consistent treatment attendance and home exercises
Want to address the root cause of their problems, not just manage symptoms
Are interested in a scientifically validated approach to spinal correction

During your consultation, we'll discuss whether CBP is appropriate for your condition and goals, or if another approach might better serve your immediate needs. For many patients, we combine elements of CBP with other techniques to create a comprehensive care plan that addresses both immediate relief and long-term correction.

Did you know? CBP is considered the most researched chiropractic technique, with over 200 peer-reviewed studies supporting its effectiveness for improving spinal alignment and reducing symptoms.
