Chiropractic BioPhysics® in Vienna, VA

CBP differs from traditional chiropractic methods by emphasizing global spinal alignment and posture correction and its relevance to spinal cord and brain function. It utilizes unique techniques such as Mirror Image® adjustments, Mirror Image® exercises, and Mirror Image® traction, which are not typically found in standard chiropractic care. CBP also incorporates detailed X-ray analysis to measure and track spinal changes.

CBP care can help the same conditions as a traditional chiropractor can treat including back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines, asthma, joint pain and stiffness, vertigo, sciatica, neuropathy, hip pain, shoulder pain, menstrual irregularities, gut problems, colic, ear infections, and sports injuries. It can also improve athletic performance and sleep, lower stress, increase energy, and can improve brain and overall health.

It is also uniquely effective for scoliosis, postural distortions, whiplash, spinal instability, spondylolisthesis, as well as degenerative joint, degenerative disc and resulting muscle and nerve conditions.

Yes, Chiropractic BioPhysics is generally safe when performed by a trained and certified CBP chiropractor. It is a non-invasive, drug-free approach for restoring spinal and nerve function, reducing pain and inflammation, preventing and managing injuries, and calming the body’s stress response.

The time it takes to see results with CBP varies depending on the severity of the spinal condition and the individual’s response to and compliance with treatment. As far as relief of pain and inflammation, some patients may experience relief after a few sessions, while others may require more time to achieve significant improvements. To see measurable, objective changes in spinal alignment, curvature, strength, and flexibility, it can take 2-3 months of care for rehabilitative improvements to be realized. These benefits, though, have been shown in CBP-specific research studies to be long-lasting.

Yes, Chiropractic BioPhysics can help with chronic pain by addressing the underlying spinal misalignments that often contribute to persistent pain. By restoring proper alignment, CBP can reduce pressure on nerves and joints, alleviating the underlying cause of chronic pain.

During your first CBP consultation, you can expect a comprehensive evaluation of your health history, goal setting, a physical and postural examination, and digital X-rays to analyze your spinal alignment. On the subsequent visit, Dr. Gustitus will explain the findings and provide a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs and goals.

CBP improves overall health by restoring global spinal alignment, which enhances the nervous system’s function at the level of the spinal cord and the brain. This improves communication between the brain and body and can lead to better organ function, reduced pain, and improved mobility, contributing to overall well-being.

Some patients may experience minor side effects such as temporary discomfort or stiffness after a CBP treatment session. These effects are usually mild and short-lived, and they are the body’s response to changes in spinal alignment, muscle activity, and ligament stretching.

Yes, Chiropractic BioPhysics is suitable for individuals of all ages. The techniques can be adapted to meet the specific needs of children, adults, and seniors, making it a versatile approach to spinal health.
