The Tiny Foam Brace That Gave Chronic Neck Pain a 12‑Month Timeout
Would you believe that a tiny plastic brace helped people with neck nerve pain feel better for a whole year? After individual analysis and a care program of course, here is how Chiropractic Biophysics worked. The breakdown of the study: Researchers gave 60 adults with discogenic cervical radiculopathy (pain caused by a slipped disc pressing on a neck nerve) a 10‑week rehab program. Half of them also used a Denneroll cervical orthotic device —a small, curved foam piece that g

Meet Maya: The Teen Who Beat Back Pain with a ‘Posture Power‑Up’”
Maya loved basketball, video games, and late‑night study sessions. But a stubborn ache in her lower back kept her from scoring the winning basket and staying focused on schoolwork. Doctors ran X‑rays and saw a thoraco‑lumbar kyphosis —a forward‑bending hump that made her spine look like a slouching teenager’s silhouette. Maya’s chiropractor suggested a Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®) program —think of it as a video‑game power‑up for the spine. Over 8 weeks , Maya completed: D

The Science Behind the Stretch: How CBP® Rewrites Spinal Geometry
What if we told you that a spine can be reshaped the same way a sculptor refines marble—using math, traction, and precise adjustments? The case of a 16‑year‑old athlete proves that spinal geometry isn’t set in stone. Why posture matters: The thoraco‑lumbar junction (the “hinge” between the mid‑back and lower back) plays a starring role in how forces travel through the body. When that hinge bows forward (kyphosis), the pelvis tilts backward, forcing the lumbar spine to flatten

Keeping Your Neck Straight: The Importance of Ongoing Care and Why the neck can slip back
Why neck pain can slip back: Even after a successful correction, the spine likes to return to the position it’s used for years. Without continued support, the improved curve can shrink a bit—just as a stretched rubber band slowly recoils. What the study taught us: After one year, the five patients in the research lost only 10° of the gained curve, and none lost the pain relief they earned. The key was maintenance care : scheduled visits, home exercises, and posture reminders

Copy of Why Gentle Pull‑Stretches (Extension Traction) Work for Neck Pain. Here's the Research!
The problem: Many people develop a forward‑bent neck after an injury, poor posture, or long hours at a desk. This bend puts extra pressure on the discs and muscles, leading to aches, headaches, and limited movement. It's way more common than people realize. What extension traction does: Extension traction is a core part of the CBP technique. While you sit or lie on a padded table, a soft strap holds the head and slowly pulls it backward. The pull is gentle, controlled, and

Why the Curve in Your Lower Back Matters
Most of us have a gentle inward curve in the lower back called lumbar lordosis . This curve helps distribute the forces that come through the spine when we stand, walk, or lift objects. When the curve flattens out—a condition known as hypolordosis —the spine loses some of its natural shock‑absorbing ability. Over time, many people develop (CMLBP) , a lingering ache that isn’t caused by an acute injury but by ongoing mechanical stress on the vertebrae, discs, and surrounding m
