Research

CBP® is the most published named chiropractic Technique within the Index Medicus in the history of Chiropractic. CBP® has more published papers in peer-reviewed indexed journals than all other techniques combined.

Dr. Joe Betz has been fortunate to be involved in CBP research since he graduated Chiropractic college. He has co-authored six original papers that have been published in the peer-reviewed, Index Medicus literature. He has also served as a primary author on international guidelines on X-ray use in the chiropractic office. He is currently serving on a committee to develop Practice Guidelines for the International Chiropractors Association.

There have been nearly 100 research papers published by or supported by Chiropractic Biophysics NonProfit:
