What Is Chiropractic BioPhysics®?
Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP) is a research-based, biomechanical system that focuses on correcting spinal structure to improve function and overall health. Unlike traditional chiropractic, which often focuses on temporary symptom relief, CBP targets the root cause by:
- Analyzing spinal posture using X-rays and digital measurements
- Comparing results to ideal spinal models backed by peer-reviewed research
- Designing personalized, objective-based care plans
- Tracking measurable improvements in spinal alignment
CBP is the gold standard for spinal correction, combining the precision of spinal engineering with the art of chiropractic care.
Why Structure Matters
Your spine houses the central nervous system, which controls every function in your body. When the spine is misaligned — even slightly — it can compress nerves, restrict movement, and interfere with your body’s natural healing abilities.
Structural imbalances in the spine can lead to:
- Chronic neck, back, or shoulder pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Sciatica and nerve compression
- Poor posture and mobility limitations
- Fatigue, brain fog, and low energy
- Long-term degenerative changes
Correcting the spine back to its optimal posture helps restore nerve communication, reduce pain, and improve your body’s overall function and adaptability.
What to Expect from CBP Care
At Freedom Family Chiropractic, your CBP journey begins with a thorough, evidence-based evaluation.
Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment
- Full posture analysis using digital tools
- Spinal X-rays (if clinically necessary)
- Range of motion and structural tests
- Health history and symptom review
Step 2: Customized Treatment Plan
Based on your findings, we will create a customized CBP plan that may include:
- Chiropractic adjustments using mirror-image techniques
- Spinal traction to reshape ligaments and correct spinal curves
- Corrective exercises to retrain muscle memory and stabilize results
- Postural re-education for long-term sustainability
Each plan is designed to correct the root cause, not just mask symptoms.
