CBP Chiropractic Biophysics
CBP is a specialty in chiropractic started in the 1980s by Dr. Don Harrison. Chiropractic is the health science based on the importance not of chemistry, like medicine, but structure. I like to think of chiropractic offering the idea that the human body is a musical instrument that needs to be precisely tuned. The benets of chiropractic arise from pushing or adjusting the pieces of the body back toward what Harrison believed was an ideal for the human shape, especially spine alignment and posture. This “perfect shape” or tuning of the human body seems to be so crucial that chiropractic achieves remarkable results for adjusting misaligned body parts back toward this ideal that Harrison developed a model for, the Harrison Model of the Spine. His model is published in Spine Journal. Doctors using Harrison’s analysis of alignment and posture, and using the methods developed for “mirror-image” exercising and tractioning failed postures and alignments back into place are achieving results that chiropractors never have before.
The Chiropractic Biophysics website ideal.spine.com provides researchers, scientists, doctors, patients, government ofcials and health policy experts a complete resource for examining and considering the enormous benet and clarity that CBP offers for making healthcare far more effective and predictable, rational and cost effective.
As any health policy expert knows, the cost containment hole in any national healthcare policy system is arthritis pain and breakdown and related care and support. The research shows that this is virtually all dependent on alignment, and this is the special effectiveness of chiropractic, and CBP has been shown to take chiropractic effectiveness to another level.
This part of the website is to help stakeholders nd chiropractic and CBP chiropractic, so to rst understand that these answers are available, to research these resources, and to link to the on line shopping for posture-improving CBP products that can help patients even when CBP may not yet be available to them in their part of the world.
Five Chiropractic Papers that Everyone Should See
The archives of chiropractic research are growing every day. For stakeholders unfamiliar with the power of chiropractic to change everything in national healthcare effectiveness and costs, the following studies best convey that chiropractic is a) brain-rst healthcare and that the brain/ nervous system are the Master System of the body and b) that structure/tuning stands equally important with biochemistry and c) that the human body performs structurally like a musical instrument and that d) nothing in health and national healthcare or social psychology can ever be right if we ignore this basic fact of the human condition

Chiropractic Signiantly Impacts the Brain
This image suggests large-scale stress reduction and efciency gains in the brain following a single chiropractic adjustment. Pre-chiropractic image on left shows highly inefcient brain activity required to achieve a simple task challenge. Post-chiropractic on right image depicts greatly reduced brain “noise” associated with the same level of stress challenge.

Winsor Autopsy Study, 1921
In 1918, Winsor saw the nearly sensational results of chiropractic helping save thousands of the sickest people during the 1918 Great Flu Pandemic. Winsor performed an extensive study of cadavers and cause of death at the University of Pennsylvania. His hope was to explore chiropractic claims (and others dating back to 1831) that spinal alignment and structure might bear signicant impact on the entire scope of nervous system output regarding health. Winsor’s observations are detailed below in footnotes.3 In summary, Winsor said these spinal failures appeared to preceded aging and to possibly cause aging.3 This might imply that the heretofore unknown and under-appreciated structural integrity piece of the stress cascade is the missing link to our 150-year lifespan.3

Endnote
Finding answers in healthcare efcacy and costs is one of the most vigorous studies underway around the world. It is hoped that AI will open new avenues in drug cures. But the cause of human illness and suffering is stress. All drugs and surgeries are stressful. It is folly for us to even believe that stress on top of stress will cure what stress has done. This website is built to extend our understanding that “stress” in the end arises from our own departures from an ideal of action and thought. The chain of events in the stress cascade harming the body appears to be that the stress straw nally breaks the camel’s back, the intelligent momentum of normal complete perfect body function. At that point, two of the most critical maintenances of basic normal function, chemistry and structure, are pushed out of alignment by the “force” of the stress. Human beings have historically restricted their thinking about wellbeing only to chemistry, herbs, nutrition and chemical toxicity. This model has never wholly worked to make the full picture of human function linear and predictable. Without the functional/structural piece of the stress cascade our understanding will never approach completion, predictability or acceptable costs.
