What is Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP)?
Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) is a specialized approach within chiropractic care that focuses on the structural correction of the spine. It's based on the idea that misalignments in the spine (subluxations) can lead to a variety of health problems beyond just musculoskeletal issues, affecting overall wellness.
Here are some key aspects of Chiropractic BioPhysics:
Diagnostic Approach: CBP practitioners use detailed X-rays and other imaging techniques to analyze the spine's alignment. They look for deviations from the ideal spinal curves and alignments that can affect posture, nerve function, and overall health.
Treatment Techniques: CBP treatments often involve a combination of spinal adjustments, exercises, and specialized equipment designed to gradually reposition the spine. This may include traction devices, wedges, and specific exercises to improve spinal alignment and restore normal curvature.
Focus on Posture and Alignment: Unlike traditional chiropractic care that primarily aims to relieve pain and improve mobility, CBP places a strong emphasis on correcting the spine's structure to promote long-term health benefits. This includes restoring natural spinal curves to reduce stress on the nervous system and improve biomechanical function.
Evidence-Based Approach: Advocates of CBP often cite research studies and clinical trials that support the effectiveness of spinal correction in improving conditions such as chronic back pain, headaches, and even certain internal health issues believed to be influenced by spinal misalignment.
Long-Term Health Benefits: Proponents claim that correcting spinal alignment through CBP can lead to not only pain relief but also improvements in organ function, immune response, and overall quality of life. It's seen as a holistic approach to health care that considers the spine's central role in bodily function.
Customized Treatment Plans: Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan based on their specific spinal issues and health goals. Treatment may involve a series of sessions over time to gradually correct spinal alignment and posture.
Critics of CBP argue that while spinal alignment is important, some of the claims made about its broader health benefits are not universally supported by rigorous scientific evidence. As with any medical or therapeutic approach, it's essential for individuals to research and discuss with qualified practitioners to determine if CBP is suitable for their needs and health conditions.
Measuring Success with Chiropractic BioPhysics
We don’t do guess-work. We do not simply rely on subjective indicators like pain alone.
CBP® simultaneously tracks pain reduction and functional improvements. Our assessments include:
- Neck Disability Index: Evaluating neck function and disability.
- Oswestry Low Back Index: Assessing low back function.
- SF-36 or Health Status Questionnaire: Measuring overall health and well-being.
Denneroll - Allowing Your to Continue Your Therapy at Home
The Denneroll is an orthotic device that can help correct the elements of poor spinal health. With this orthotic device, you can help improve damage that has been caused to nerves, ligaments, and muscles that have been caused by cervical curvature. The curves, angles and ridges of the orthotic are designed to alleviate pressure and help you reach your treatment goals. Most importantly, the Denneroll is designed to be used at home. We'll train you on how to use it properly, allowing you to continue your therapy at home.
