What’s Chiropractic Biophysics and Who Can It Help?
Biology is the science of living things. Physics is the science of matter, energy, force, and motion. Chiropractic is a type of health care focused on mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine.
Chiropractic biophysics (CBP) goes beyond basic chiropractic, seeking the root cause of many health conditions and seeing if they can be positively affected by chiropractic care. Treating the source of the problem offers short-term relief and protection from future recurrence.
In many cases, the right adjustment can help relieve symptoms you might assume couldn’t be affected by spinal misalignment.
At Advantage Spinal Dynamics & Innovative Medicine in Meridian, Idaho, our experienced chiropractic specialists offer a wide range of services, including chiropractic biophysics, to give you the best health possible.
Chiropractic basics
Chiropractic care is typically used to diagnose and treat issues of the spine, making adjustments for better balance, pain relief, numbness or tingling in the extremities (neuropathy), headaches, and more.
Our skilled chiropractic practitioners evaluate your posture, movement, and spinal alignment. Then, using manual adjustments or mechanical traction, we correct abnormal curvature and misalignments, restoring your spine’s most balanced state for improved function.
Chiropractic biophysics
In most cases, chiropractic adjustment focuses on fixing issues obviously related to the spine. However, CBP takes things a step further, and you might be surprised at what this expanded discipline can treat.
For example, evidence suggests chiropractic adjustment can treat gastric disorders such as infant colic, chronic constipation, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Another area where CBP may help is in the field of mental health. Studies show that spinal manipulation can affect the autonomic nervous system, changing the number of neurotransmitters in the brain that can increase or decrease depressive symptoms.
Why you need a specialist for chiropractic biophysics
Not all chiropractors are trained in CBP. Since the spine can affect so many parts of your body and health, an inexperienced chiropractic practitioner can do more harm than good.
You need spinal experts trained not just in chiropractic but also in the subspecialty of chiropractic biophysics to attain optimal health across all of your systems, rather than just your musculoskeletal structure.
At Advantage Spinal Dynamics & Innovative Medicine, we make every effort to diagnose and treat as many issues as possible using effective, safe chiropractic biophysics. If you have chronic disorders of any type, CBP could be right for you.
