The human spine is one of the most unique features of your body. Although we often think of spines as being one major body part, the truth is that yours is made up of 33 vertebrae that run from your neck all the way down to the tailbone.
Between your vertebrae are also special discs that work like shock absorbers as you walk, jump and bend your body. While each piece is designed to work beautifully with the others, it doesn’t take much for your spine to fall out of alignment.
Whether you’re feeling the effects of a car accident, years of poor posture or aging, Chiropractic BioPhysics® is an option that could help you find long-term pain relief. This form of chiropractic care fuses the scientific principles of biomechanics with innovative techniques that promote proper spinal alignment.
Exploring what Chiropractic BioPhysics® involves, along with why we may recommend this form of care, helps you make the best decisions for improving your spinal health.
What is Chiropractic BioPhysics®?
Chiropractic BioPhysics® is an evidence-based approach to providing long-term results for improving spinal alignment and your overall posture. By addressing the root causes of spinal pain and discomfort, chiropractors can help people enjoy a higher quality of life that includes feeling more comfortable during their daily activities.
The Chiropractic BioPhysics® approach achieves this goal by applying principles that come from research in biology, physics, physiology and biomechanics. Chiropractors who offer this treatment method undergo extensive training to allow them to provide you with a personalized diagnosis and treatment plan that addresses the underlying causes of your pain and other spinal symptoms.
What are the Extra Educational Requirements to Become a CBP® Doctor?
A Chiropractic BioPhysics® designation means that a CBP® doctor has received advanced training in their field. First, a doctor must receive a Doctor of Chiropractic degree that is awarded by an accredited institution following the successful demonstration of essential skills and knowledge.
Next, chiropractors who want to receive the CBP® distinction attend rigorous post-graduate training to get certified through the Chiropractic BioPhysics® Non-Profit Organization. Typically, this process involves attending multiple CBP® seminars that cover techniques and essential science-based fundamentals of using the method.
During this training, candidates learn how to perform mirror image adjusting techniques, along with upper cervical analysis. Structural rehabilitation methods are also covered during this training to ensure that candidates can pass a comprehensive exam that covers both theoretical and practical applications.
Chiropractors can also opt to undergo advanced Chiropractic BioPhysics® certification to provide an even higher level of care to their patients. Choosing this level of training adds over 100 hours of education in specialized areas of CBP®, which include pediatrics, whiplash trauma, and scoliosis.
To maintain their certification, chiropractors must also attend new Chiropractic BioPhysics® seminars every two years. This ensures that anyone practicing CBP® has the latest information and training to provide the highest possible level of care.

What Makes CBP® Care More Ideal Than General Chiropractic Offices?
General chiropractic offices often focus on providing immediate pain relief. While adjustments, medication and generalized posture training can help you feel better, these strategies often involve the pain returning soon after your visit.
Chiropractic BioPhysics® aims to promote better spinal alignment by addressing the primary causes of your discomfort. Although this method might require a longer treatment plan, you’ll find that achieving long-term pain relief is worth visiting our office for care. If your preference is to avoid being on strong pain medications, then you’ll also find that CBP® makes it easier to reduce your reliance on pharmaceutical treatments.
Improving your spinal alignment and posture allows you to enjoy less pain while enjoying a higher quality of life. Since Chiropractic BioPhysics® addresses a wide range of root causes for back and neck pain, visiting an office that offers this option could also open up your ability to choose treatments that work best for meeting your goals and preferences for improving your health.
How Does It Work?
Chiropractic BioPhysics® works by using multiple techniques to improve spinal subluxation. Mirror image adjustments, cervical and lumbar traction, and spinal decompression are a few techniques a chiropractor with CBP® certification might administer.
What is Subluxation in CBP® Terms?
In Chiropractic Biophysics®, a subluxation is an abnormal movement or misalignment of the vertebrae in your spine. This misalignment can impact your nerve functioning and general health. The easiest way to understand this term is to view it as a joint being out of place.
What is the Process of CBP®?
The process of CBP® begins with a thorough assessment of your general health, symptoms and spinal alignment. Digital spinal testing can reveal the root causes of your discomfort, and your chiropractor will use the results of their assessment to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Most Chiropractic Biophysics® treatment plans involve returning to the office for sessions that include spinal stretching techniques, postural stabilization exercises and other forms of care. You may also be provided with tools and exercises to use at home between your sessions at our office.
Why Are X-Rays Important for CBP®?
X-rays and other forms of imaging tests are necessary to allow your practitioner to make an accurate assessment of your spinal alignment. With an X-ray, your chiropractor can identify abnormalities that can benefit from a targeted CBP® plan.
What is Spinal Traction in CBP®?
In Chiropractic BioPhysics®, spinal traction is a specialized technique that uses gentle stretching of the spine and soft tissues to restore alignment. This technique also helps to reduce pressure on your spine’s discs and nerves to promote better functioning.
What is a Denneroll, and How Is It Used?
A Denneroll is a special type of orthodontic device for your spine. Chiropractors use the device to help restore the natural curve of your spine, especially in the neck and lower back regions.
To use a Denneroll, the device is placed on a firm surface to help support your spine. You’ll then lie on it in the correct position to target that part of your spine that needs correction. CBP® chiropractors help you learn how to find the ideal positioning to give you the best results.
Why is Consistency Important in CBP® Care?
CBP® care is based upon scientific principles that take time to work. Consistency helps each treatment’s results build on the success of the ones that came before. People who are consistent with following their treatment plan enjoy the longest-lasting results.
What Conditions Can Chiropractic BioPhysics® Help?
Chiropractic Biophysics® can help spinal conditions that cause back and neck pain. Scoliosis, spinal herniations and degenerative disc conditions are all possible health issues that you may need to use CBP® to improve.
In addition, many headaches originate in the spine, especially the cervical region. CBP® can help to improve migraines, neuropathy, fatigue, and even acid reflux. If back pain keeps you up at night, then being able to sleep more comfortably can also ease insomnia and related conditions such as anxiety and depression.
CBP® care can help the following common conditions and so much more:
- Back Pain
- Neck Pain
- Digestive Problems
- Headaches & Migraines
- Scoliosis
- Forward Head Posture (Text Neck)
What Happens During CBP® Sessions?
Each CBP® session is designed to target your specific health needs. Your session may include spinal adjustments, spinal traction, and postural corrective exercises. Your chiropractor may also assess your progress, and they’ll always be open to hearing about any successes or new concerns that arise.
What Should a Patient Expect After Treatment?
Some people may notice some temporary discomfort and soreness immediately following their treatment. This is due to physiological reactions that occur as the muscles and spines respond to stretching and decompression. This is very similar to how you might feel post-workout at home.
Your chiropractor will let you know what is normal after treatment. If you experience worsening symptoms or other unusual side effects, then it is important to tell your chiropractor right away. Good communication is an important component of this type of care.
However, you’ll also notice pain reduction and improvements in your mobility in the days to weeks following your sessions. You’ll also need to commit to performing your exercises and stretches at home, along with attending follow-up care appointments.
Who Can Benefit From Chiropractic BioPhysics®?
Anyone who is experiencing pain, discomfort, stiffness, or a lack of mobility due to spinal issues can benefit from Chiropractic Biophysics®. Keep in mind that you’ll need to be committed to following a long-term program to achieve the best possible results. Children, seniors and other people with special needs can also benefit from CBP®.
