CBP — Chiropractic BioPhysics
Chiropractic system founded on principles of biomechanics and mathematical physics, developed by Donald Harrison, integrating precise radiographic postural analysis, mirror of ideal health based on geometric norms of the spine, and vertebral remodeling protocols using traction, exercises and specific adjustments.
Presentation
Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) is an advanced chiropractic approach developed by Donald D. Harrison, PhD, DC, with his sons Deed Harrison, DC and Jason Haas, DC, from the 1980s. CBP distinguishes itself through rigorous scientific foundations based on mathematical physics, geometry and biomechanics applied to the spine.
The CBP system defines an ideal posture with precise norms for sagittal curves (cervical lordosis = 42°, thoracic kyphosis = 42°, lumbar lordosis = 42°) and uses standardized weight-bearing radiographs to measure deviations from these norms. Treatment combines specific spinal traction (mirror image), postural exercises and CBP chiropractic adjustments to progressively remodel curves.
