Chiropractic BioPhysics® in Reading

Advanced, Evidence-Based Spinal Correction

Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®) is an advanced, evidence-based chiropractic technique that integrates principles of physics, biomechanics, and clinical research to correct spinal alignment and posture. Developed in 1980 by Drs. Donald and Deed Harrison, CBP® focuses on restoring the spine’s natural curves and alignment to improve overall health and function.

At Optimal Align Chiropractic, Dr. Bruce Hilligan has undergone extensive training in this revolutionary approach, making our clinic one of fewer than 10 in the entire country to offer this specialized technique to patients seeking lasting structural improvements.

Core Principles of CBP®

Unlike conventional chiropractic methods that primarily focus on joint mobility and symptom relief, CBP® takes a comprehensive approach to spinal health through several key principles:
Postural Correction

CBP® aims to achieve ideal posture by aligning the head, rib cage, and pelvis vertically in both front and side views. This optimal alignment reduces stress on the entire musculoskeletal system and creates a foundation for better overall function.

Spinal Alignment

Dr. Hilligan utilizes the Harrison Spinal Model to restore normal spinal curvatures—cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, and lumbar lordosis. These natural curves act as shock absorbers for the spine and are essential for proper weight distribution and biomechanical function.

Mirror-Image® Adjustments

Our approach employs targeted adjustments that mirror the patient’s postural deviations to effectively correct misalignments. This precise methodology ensures that corrections address each patient’s unique structural needs rather than applying generic techniques.

Spinal Traction & Remodeling

Optimal Align Chiropractic incorporates specialized traction devices to facilitate spinal correction and maintain alignment over time. These tools allow for progressive remodeling of spinal structures, creating lasting improvements rather than temporary relief.

The Science Behind CBP®

What truly sets Chiropractic BioPhysics® apart is its strong foundation in clinical research and measurable outcomes. CBP® is one of the most thoroughly researched chiropractic techniques, with over 340 peer-reviewed studies supporting its efficacy. Dr. Hilligan‘s commitment to this evidence-based approach ensures that your treatment at Optimal Align Chiropractic is guided by scientific principles rather than guesswork. His role as an honorary lecturer of biomechanics at a prestigious London college for spinal surgeries further demonstrates his dedication to the scientific aspects of structural correction.

Comprehensive Assessment Process

Your CBP® care journey at our Reading clinic begins with a thorough evaluation process that goes far beyond standard examinations. During your initial visits, Dr. Hilligan will conduct:

Detailed posture analysis using specialized assessment tools
Comprehensive physical examination to evaluate function and identify restrictions
X-ray imaging (when appropriate) to visualize your spine’s current structural condition
Personalized consultation to understand your health history and goals

This comprehensive approach allows us to develop highly individualized treatment plans based on objective findings rather than symptoms alone. By establishing this detailed baseline, we can track measurable improvements throughout your care and make precise adjustments to your protocol as needed.

Benefits of CBP® Care

Patients undergoing Chiropractic BioPhysics® treatment at Optimal Align Chiropractic experience numerous benefits beyond simple pain relief:
Structural Improvement

CBP® creates measurable changes in spinal alignment and posture that can be documented through comparative assessments.

Pain Reduction

By addressing the root cause of discomfort—structural misalignment—CBP® provides more sustainable relief than symptom-focused approaches.

Enhanced Nervous System Function

Proper spinal alignment improves nerve flow, potentially benefiting overall health and organ function.

Improved Posture

Corrects postural deviations, reducing strain on muscles and joints during daily activities.

Increased Energy and Focus

Many patients report higher energy levels and improved concentration as a result of optimized spinal function.

Long-Term Results

Unlike treatments that require endless maintenance, CBP® aims to create lasting structural changes that hold over time.
