While ‘traditional’ chiropractic adjustments are sometimes performed, CBP® doctors do much more to relieve symptoms and keep pain away. For many patients, spinal adjustments are not enough to correct the spinal problem. For some, the adjustment only gives temporary relief and they feel like &the adjustment isn’t holding or their spine feels like it is slipping back out of place.& To correct abnormal spinal alignment, the muscles must be retrained and strengthened in order to maintain the new corrected position. Therefore, CBP® doctors devise a specific exercise program for each individual patient to help them with their unique spinal problem. Spinal traction is also performed to restore the spine back to its normal position. This has long-term benefits of reducing mechanical stress on the spine and discs. If this stress remains in your spine it can lead to arthritis and spinal degeneration. Only a Certified CBP® doctor should determine which traction is right for your problem.
