Introduction

• Chiropractic Biophysics applies the principles of
  mechanical engineering toward the correction of
  the human spine. Just as you have a normal
  temperature and blood pressure, your spine has a
  normal clinical position.
• If your spinal column's curvatures are abnormal
  and ignored, this can cause a lower state of
  overall health and will lead to premature
  degeneration of your spine.

Background History

• Chiropractic Biophysics(CBP) was founded by
  Donald D. Harrison, a chiropractor who also has a
  PhD in applied mathematics and a master's degree
  in mechanical engineering. CBP's origins lie in
  another technique called Pettibon, which Harrison
  learned while attending the Western States
  Chiropractic College. In this system,
  chiropractors use side-view x-rays of the neck to
  gauge its alignment and then try to change that
  alignment using drop-table adjustments.

Anaysis For Effective Treatment
The ideal spine has near perfect vertical balance
of the upper and lower-most vertebra for each of
these three spinal regions. Each region has
points of inflection the mathematical term for
change in direction from concavity to convexity
against which to compare your x-rays.

The Bottom Line

• Patients visiting CBP offices typically receive
  boilerplate examinations to determine whether
  their spinal curvature is "ideal." They are also
  advised to have x-ray examinations of their
  entire spine even if they have no symptoms
  justifying such tests
