The Rationale for CBP
Patients who have recently sustained an injury or are experiencing new pain or discomfort will start with adjustments aimed at improving mobility and reducing pain. Ice is commonly applied to minimize swelling, while specific stretches and massage techniques, as appropriate, are utilized to alleviate muscle spasms. The Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) corrective care plan incorporates a combination of adjustments, corrective extension traction procedures, and corrective postural exercises. What sets CBP apart is not the individual techniques but the underlying rationale and the strategic approach to using these tools to achieve the desired outcomes.
Treatment
Chiropractic Biophysics® (CBP®) integrates mathematics, physics, and biophysics into chiropractic care, providing a robust framework for communicating its principles within the scientific community. CBP® focuses on understanding and applying the fundamental laws that govern matter, energy, and their interactions in nature. With over two decades of ongoing research, this approach continues to enhance our understanding of human structure and function, enabling us to refine our techniques and better serve patients.
The primary aim of the CBP® technique is to restore proper three-dimensional human posture. This is achieved through a combination of postural adjustments, rehabilitative exercises, cervical extension traction, and manual procedures, all designed to deliver lasting corrective care. CBP® seeks to address the root cause of the problem rather than offering temporary solutions.
The Harrison model serves as a benchmark for what is considered "normal" posture, with deviations from this standard identified as subluxations. While the model represents one of the most comprehensive efforts in chiropractic care to define normal posture, it is recognized as a foundation for further development. As research progresses, the model is expected to evolve, advancing the effectiveness of corrective care in CBP®.
Mirror Image Exercise
The spinal structure consists of bones, muscles, blood vessels, and neural pathways, which can be likened to beams, motors, hydraulics, and computers, respectively. Consequently, it is not surprising that the creators of CBP incorporated engineering principles into their approach to understanding the human body.
Changes in the muscles that surround the spine take time. This is much like beginning a new exercise program at the gym. Results do not occur overnight, but instead require repetition. We cannot expect to go to the gym and workout for a week and have the perfect body, so we for sure can not assume we can work on our spine for a few weeks and have the perfect spine. Healing takes TIME! Mirror image exercise programs are set up based on individual need, after all, not everyone has the same posture. Exercises are used which will give you the most permanent changes.
Mirror Image Adjustment
Mirror image adjustments work by placing the spine in the opposite direction of its misalignment, stimulating mechanoreceptors (sensory receptors in the joints and soft tissues) and proprioceptors (receptors that sense body position). This process sends corrective feedback to the central nervous system, which helps the brain recalibrate and regulate spinal alignment. By realigning the spine, these adjustments can reduce nerve interference, enhancing the body's ability to heal and function optimally. The neurological benefits extend beyond pain relief, often improving functions such as balance, coordination, and even autonomic processes like digestion and immune response. CBP® mirror image adjustments, therefore, not only correct structural imbalances but also promote improved communication between the brain and body, supporting overall health and well-being.
Conclusion
The Chiropractic Biophysics® (CBP®) technique stands out for several distinctive features. It focuses on the specific objective of restoring optimal posture. By correlating posture with detailed X-ray analysis, it minimizes errors that may occur when relying solely on X-rays. This approach addresses the patient’s overall posture using mirror image adjustments and targets long-term soft tissue adaptations through extension traction and personalized rehabilitative exercise programs tailored to each individual’s needs.

Chiropractic Biophysics® (CBP®), a method for spinal analysis in chiropractic care, was developed by Donald D. Harrison, M.S., DC, M.S.E., Ph.D., and Glenn Harrison, B.S., DC. This technique aims to enhance patient health by examining the body through a mechanical perspective. While acknowledging that humans are far more complex than machines, the spine and nervous system exhibit certain mechanical properties.
Mirror Image Extension Traction
One of the most frequently observed postural issues in chiropractic care is a reduced or absent curve in the neck. Effective correction typically involves the application of extension traction over extended periods and at a gradual pace, as this region does not respond well to abrupt or forceful adjustments. Various traction techniques are employed both in our practice and by other CBP practitioners. Depending on the patient’s tolerance and the doctor’s recommendations, these sessions may last between 10 and 20 minutes. To support their recovery, many patients are provided with a home traction device, allowing them to take an active role in their treatment plan. These methods have demonstrated significant success in restoring the natural cervical curve.
