Chiropractic BioPhysics
Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) is a highly specialized and scientifically advanced system used by Charlton Chiropractic Redbank to provide precise chiropractic care. Here's a breakdown of what CBP is and how it differs from regular chiropractic care:
What is Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP)?
Chiropractic BioPhysics is a scientific approach to chiropractic care that applies principles of physics to the study of biology in the context of chiropractic treatment. It was founded in December 1980 with the aim of understanding and improving spinal alignment and posture. The normal spine features three distinct curves in the neck, ribcage, and lower back, which serve as shock absorbers, maintain balance, and preserve nerve integrity.
Why CBP at Charlton Chiropractic Redbank?
Charlton Chiropractic Redbank prefers CBP because it's a highly researched, results-oriented, and effective chiropractic technique at the forefront of chiropractic with over 336 peer reviewed publications in the scientific literature. CBP combines knowledge from biology, physiology, physics, geometry, and anatomy to identify and quantify the underlying causes of pain, discomfort, loss of mobility, and altered health. This approach ensures that your diagnosis and treatment are based on sound science, and it provides an objective means of measuring your progress.
How CBP is Different from Standard Chiropractic:
While regular chiropractic adjustments typically target specific joints to improve spinal movement, CBP focuses on improving the overall spinal alignment by addressing the three distinct curves of the spine. These adjustments aim to bring the spine closer to its ideal alignment, enhancing its overall functionality and providing long term outcomes for patients, even when other approaches have failed.
How CBP is Different from Standard Chiropractic:
The CBP treatment process begins with a thorough evaluation to determine its suitability for your specific case. This assessment involves examining your posture and spine alignment, which may include X-rays and a physical examination to compare your spine to accepted norms.
If CBP is recommended for your case, Charlton Chiropractic Redbank will create a tailored care plan. This plan may include various components:
If CBP is recommended for your case, Charlton Chiropractic Redbank will create a tailored care plan. This plan may include various components:
- In-house traction on Denneroll tables or Universal Traction: Traction is used to gradually bring your spine closer to the ideal alignment.
- At-home traction with Denneroll or Scoliroll devices: You may be provided with devices for at-home use to complement the in-house treatment.
- Mirror Image® adjustments: These are specialized chiropractic adjustments aimed at improving the alignment of your spine and posture.
- Mirror Image® exercises: These exercises are designed to reinforce the corrections made during the process, of adjustments and traction.
For the best results, patient commitment to their care and adherence to home care instructions are crucial. Additionally, Charlton Chiropractic Redbank takes a holistic approach, addressing postural and mechanical stressors in your daily life that may hinder progress. This can involve correcting issues related to sleep or sitting postures to establish better habits during and after treatment.
By combining CBP with chiropractic care, Charlton Chiropractic Redbank is committed to helping patients achieve optimal results in terms of spinal alignment, posture, and overall well-being.

Recent CBP Research
How improving neck curve can improve pain that goes down your arm.
This study looks at how improving the normal neck curve and head posture (CBP) along with rehabilitation, had a more favourable outcome in radiating nerve pain than those subjects that had rehabilitation alone (1).
Research shows a reduced neck curves may accelerate arthritis.
In this research it showed that forward head posture increases the stress to the lower neck by up to 325% of the normal amount (2). This increased loading is what has been shown to accelerate degeneration (arthritis) in the neck.
Lower back pain can be related to loss of curve.
Research (3) has shown that there is a causal link between chronic low back pain and a loss of the lumbar lordosis. The side curve acts as a shock absorber, and if the curve is less than normal, the weight of your body, plus any activity will stress the joints, nerves and other tissues around that low back resulting in pain.
