Question 1

What is Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP)?

Accepted Answer

Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) is an advanced, evidence-based chiropractic technique that focuses on correcting spinal alignment and posture. It combines standard chiropractic adjustments with specific mirror-image exercises and targeted spinal traction to produce measurable, long-term structural changes in the spine.

Question 2

What is Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX)?

Accepted Answer

Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) is an advanced fluoroscopic imaging technology that records real-time, moving x-rays of your spine. It allows us to evaluate spinal motion and identify hidden ligament injuries or instability that are often missed on standard static x-rays or MRIs.

Question 3

Do you work with attorneys on auto accident cases?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We frequently work with personal injury attorneys and can provide the detailed documentation, objective imaging (like DMX), and structural evaluations necessary to properly support your auto accident injury case.

Question 4

Do you offer ScoliBrace?

Accepted Answer

While we no longer offer ScoliBrace as a provider, we specialize in non-surgical scoliosis rehabilitation. We can evaluate your spine and provide information on whether a brace is a good fit for you or if our structural rehabilitation methods alone can help attain your corrective goals.

Question 5

Do you take my insurance?

Accepted Answer

We accept most major auto insurance policies and can work with your health insurance out-of-network benefits. Our team will verify your benefits before any treatment begins so there are no surprises.

Question 6

What should I expect on my first visit?

Accepted Answer

Your first visit includes a deep dive into your health history, targeted neurological and orthopedic exams, and digital structural x-rays if necessary. We want to find the exact root cause of your pain.

Question 7

Is Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

No. CBP uses gentle, highly-specific adjustments and traction to slowly remodel your spine. Patients often find the process relaxing and experience relief quickly.

Question 8

How long does a typical appointment take?

Accepted Answer

While your initial evaluation is very thorough and takes about 45-60 minutes, standard follow-up adjustment and rehab appointments typically take 15-30 minutes.

Question 9

Should I see a chiropractor after a car accident?

Accepted Answer

Yes, getting a proper evaluation and diagnosis is crucial after a car accident to identify structural injuries like whiplash and prevent long-term biomechanical alterations and chronic pain.

Question 10

What is the treatment for whiplash?

Accepted Answer

We use Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) methods to restore spinal stability, reduce abnormal loading, and rebuild normal motion patterns through specific mirror image exercises, traction, and targeted adjusting.

Question 11

Can chiropractic care help with scoliosis pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by addressing the underlying structural and biomechanical stress patterns caused by scoliosis, chiropractic care can help reduce joint compression, muscle tension, and nerve irritation, leading to lasting pain relief.

Question 12

What causes neck and back pain?

Accepted Answer

Common causes include forward head posture, loss of cervical or lumbar curve, whiplash injuries, disc degeneration, joint dysfunction, and muscle imbalance.

Question 13

Can a herniated cervical disc heal without surgery?

Accepted Answer

Many patients improve without surgery through conservative care. The appropriate treatment depends on the severity of neurological findings, imaging results, and response to treatment. Our structural approach aims to correct underlying abnormal alignment contributing to disc stress.

Question 14

How can a chiropractor help with headaches and migraines?

Accepted Answer

We look for structural problems in the cervical spine (neck) that commonly cause headaches, such as forward head posture or loss of the cervical curve, and correct them using Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) techniques.

Question 15

What is the best treatment for sciatica?

Accepted Answer

Effective treatment involves identifying the biomechanical cause, such as disc bulges or loss of lumbar lordosis. We use CBP structural rehabilitation, lumbar extension traction, and nerve mobility exercises to relieve nerve irritation.

Question 16

What are the effects of poor posture?

Accepted Answer

Poor posture leads to increased muscle tension, joint compression, ligament strain, and nerve irritation, which can accelerate degeneration and cause chronic pain.

Question 17

Can you fix forward head posture?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we use Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) techniques, including Mirror Image exercises, cervical extension traction, and precise adjustments to restore the natural neck curve and correct forward head posture.

Question 18

What are the symptoms of upper cervical instability?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms often include chronic neck pain at the base of the skull, vertigo, brain fog, visual disturbances, tinnitus, and numbness or tingling in the face or arms.

Question 19

How do you diagnose upper cervical instability?

Accepted Answer

We use a detailed neurological exam, specialized digital CBP radiography, and motion study analysis to accurately identify ligamentous laxity and upper cervical dysfunction.

Question 20

Can chiropractic care help with Trigeminal Neuralgia?

Accepted Answer

Emerging research suggests abnormal cervical spine alignment may influence neurological structures associated with facial pain. Our CBP approach focuses on correcting upper cervical dysfunction and forward head posture that may contribute to trigeminal nerve irritation.
