What Should I Expect at My First Visit to a CBP® Doctor?
The typical patient under the care of a CBP® doctor
undergoes a thorough examination after the history of the problem is discussed.
This helps determine whether your condition is within the realm of our
care. Next, a digital computerized postural analysis is often performed using Posture PrintTM software.
This analysis enables CBP® doctors to detect and measure abnormal
positions of the head shoulders, ribcage, pelvis, knees and feet. The
final step during the first office visit is taking precise spinal x-rays. Properly taken
spinal x-rays are like a blueprint of your spine and often hold the key
to discovering the underlying cause of our pain and discomfort. After
reviewing the results of your exam (computerized postural analysis and
x-rays), a CBP® doctor will schedule you to come back for a report of
findings. This is when the doctor will explain what he found, whether
CBP® can help, how long it will take to correct, and how much it
will cost.
Will a CBP® Doctor Only "Manipulate" My Back?
While traditional chiropractic adjustments are usually performed, CBP® doctors utilize unique procedures to relieve symptoms and help 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 Mirror Image® 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 and abnormal stresses on the nerves and spinal cord. If this stress remains in your spine and nervous system, it can lead to arthritis, spinal degeneration and a multitude of health-related conditions.
Does Insurance Cover CBP® Treatment?
CBP® treatment is covered by most insurance plans. Medicare, Medicaid, auto, and workers compensation will usually cover the care as well. Financing is also available through Care Credit
