Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP) Technique

Whilst incorporating traditional Chiropractic adjusting techniques in our practice, we wanted to take our patient care a step further.  By utilizing Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP) technique in our office, we have managed to do just that.

CBP technique uniquely emphasises optimal posture and spinal alignment.  Just as there are normal values for heart rate and blood pressure, there are documented and established normal values for the curvatures and alignment of your spine. 

By incorporating structural rehabilitation into our treatment protocols through posture specific exercises, adjustment techniques and traction, we are not only able to improve the structure of the spine, but the function of the nervous system.

With over 130 peer-reviewed research publications to its name, this makes CBP the most evidence based, multi-modal approach to Chiropractic care in the world.
