Chiropractic BioPhysics®
CBP® Technique
In December 1980, Chiropractic BioPhysics® or CBP® Technique, was originally named by Drs. Donald Harrison, Deanne Harrison, and Daniel Murphy for “physics applied to biology in chiropractic”.
Since that time, Drs. Donald and Deed Harrison, (along with a number of other contributors) have authored Seven CBP® Texts Books and published more than 130 scientific studies investigating different aspects of CBP®.
Thus, today, CBP® Technique is one of the foremost investigated techniques in Chiropractic and both Dr. Donald and Dr. Deed Harrison are among the leaders in the profession’s researchers.
CBP® Goals of Care
CBP® Technique emphasizes optimal posture and spinal alignment as the primary goals of chiropractic care while simultaneously documenting improvements in pain and functional based outcomes (See Figure 1). The uniqueness of CBP® treatment is in structural rehabilitation of the spine and posture. In general the goals of CBP® Care are:
- Normal Front and Side View Posture
- Center of mass of head, rib cage, and pelvis vertically aligned in front and side views
- a. Front view: Vertical Alignment
- b. Side View: Harrison Ideal or Average Spinal Model
- Normal Spinal Alignment
- a. Improved Range of Motion and quality of movement
- b. Improved muscle strength
- Normal function
- Improved Health and Symptom Improvements
- Neck Disability Index
- Oswestry Low Back Index
- SF 36 or Health Status Questionnaire
Figure 1
Figure 1. Ideal postural alignment is depicted in both the frontal and side views. In each view, the center of mass of the skull, thorax, and pelvis are in a vertical line with respect to gravity. In the frontal view, the spinal column is vertically aligned-a straight column- with respect to gravity.
