A Guide to Chiropractic BioPhysics

July 29, 2022

Have you ever heard of Chiropractic BioPhysics? If you haven’t, you’re not alone! Many in the chiropractic community believe CBP to be the future of the profession. CBP uses mathematical properties to diagnose spinal anomalies and traction treatments to produce long-lasting pain relief. 

In order to diagnose a spinal abnormality, CBP practitioners compare their patient’s spines to that of an established value. Using this “standard spine,” a CBP practitioner can then determine whether their patient’s deviation results in any dysfunction that comes in the form of pain or deformation and can then correct the spine heading it towards the desired value. 

This practice, while still uncommon, combines math, geometry, and traction to make changes to the curvature of the spine. CBP practitioners receive many additional hours of training and invest in new equipment to provide the best for their patients. But is there really a difference between CBP and traditional chiropractic therapies?

How is Chiropractic BioPhysics Different From Traditional Chiropractic Practices?

Traction is the magic word here. It is not uncommon for primary care physicians and physical therapists to use traction techniques when necessary. This involves using special equipment to sustain an unnatural stretch while keeping the muscles simultaneously relaxed. However, CBP traction is a bit different from the aforementioned technique.

CBP traction involves more targeted bending, and even different directional pulls to get the patient’s spine to where it needs to go. On the other hand, general chiropractors use adjustments, massages, stretching, heat, ice, etc., to achieve their results. All of these are excellent ways to provide a meaningful impact on the body. However, CBP works to administer spinal changes that have long-lasting effects.

Why Should You Choose Chiropractic BioPhysics?

In choosing to be treated using Chiropractic BioPhysics techniques, you aren’t just getting short-term relief from pain that day. The point of CPB is to truly create quantifiable changes to your spine that can be and will be documented by your chiropractor to produce long-term changes to the spine for the better.

Through the use of traction therapies, traditional adjustments, and suitable at-home exercises, you allow your spine to heal and relieve pain through the back that can carry through the neck as well. 

Remember, CBP is not a one-size fits all kind of therapy. By looking at the curvature of your spine, CBP experts can create a plan that fits your needs. One CBP patient may not recieve the same amount or type of traction therapies that you may experience.

Frequently asked questions

What is Chiropractic BioPhysics and how does it diagnose spine problems?
Chiropractic BioPhysics, or CBP, is a specialized approach that compares a patient's spine to an established structural standard to identify deviations that may contribute to pain or deformation. Practitioners use mathematical and geometric measurements along with targeted traction to work toward correcting the curvature over time. It generally requires additional training and equipment beyond standard chiropractic care, and results can vary by individual and severity of the condition.
How does CBP traction differ from regular chiropractic adjustments?
CBP traction uses more targeted bending and varied directional pulls aimed at gradually shifting spinal curvature toward a desired alignment, rather than relying mainly on manual adjustments, massage, stretching, heat, or ice. Traditional chiropractic techniques can still provide meaningful symptom relief, but CBP is intended to pursue longer lasting structural change. Suitability depends on your specific spine and health history, so a professional evaluation is recommended before starting.
Is Chiropractic BioPhysics the same treatment plan for every patient?
No, CBP is not a one-size-fits-all therapy. Treatment is based on the individual curvature of each patient's spine, so the amount and type of traction, adjustments, and at-home exercises can differ significantly from person to person. A practitioner typically evaluates your specific spinal alignment before recommending a plan, since what works for one patient may not be appropriate for another.
