The Chiropractic BioPhysics Accreditation Program

For those patients interested, the accreditation program was an intensive seminar and practical schedule based at the largest Corrective Care facility within America.

The program ran for over a week and was attended by approximately 60 Doctors from all over the world.

Dr. Hooper prepared for the accreditation program over the last 12 months with extensive reading, literature research and Webinar tutorials.

The topics covered in the accreditation program included:

 

Module 1. Basics of Chiropractic BioPhyiscs, X-Ray and Posture

• Indications and contraindications to structural rehabilitation procedures.
• Case management using structural rehabilitation methods for a comprehensive picture of clinical application.
• Research material reviewed supporting the utilisation and efficacy of CBP technique structural rehabilitation treatment methods across a population of patients.

 

Module 5. CBP Structural Rehabilitation of the Lumbar Spine

• Integrated education for the Doctor of Chiropractic in the science and art of lumbopelvic disorders.
• Detailed literature review covering the crisis of lumbar disorders in patient populations, the role of spinal manipulative therapy and structural correction of sagittal lumbar lordosis.
• Normal average and ideal values for the lumbar lordosis reviewed as well the relationship of lumbar curvatures to patient health and disease conditions.
• Detailed categories of lumbopelvic postures, spine kinematics and abnormalities of the sagittal lumbar lordosis.
• Appropriate application and timing of postural and functional exercises for the lumbar spine designed to correct spinal subluxation and strengthen the lower back tissues.
• Review 17 categories of sagittal lumbar traction and 5 methods of coronal lumbar traction with demonstrations for structural rehabilitation of the lumbar spine.
• Indications and contraindications to structural rehabilitation procedures.
• Case management of structural rehabilitation methods using a variety of case studies for a comprehensive picture of clinical application.
• Research material reviewed supporting the utilisation and efficacy of CBP technique structural rehabilitation treatment methods across a population of patients with chronic pain conditions.

 

Module 6. Structural Rehabilitation of the Thoracic Spine

• Integrated education for the Doctor of Chiropractic in the Art and Science of chiropractic with an emphasis on postural and spinal distortions of the thoracic spine.
• Normal values for the sagittal plane of the thoracic kyphosis detailed from the literature and age related changes of the thoracic spine reviewed.
• The relationship of the thoracic spine to the lumbar and cervical regions discussed.
• The role of thoracic spine disorders and subluxations to patient health and disease conditions. Examination and documentation procedures reviewed.
• Chiropractic adjustive and rehabilitative treatment techniques for thoracic, lumbar, and cervical subluxations detailed.
• Research material reviewed supporting the utilisation and efficacy of Chiropractic Biophysics technique treatment methods across a spectrum of patient conditions.

 

Module 7. Chiropractic Biophysics Hands on Training Workshop

• Integrated education for the Doctor of Chiropractic in the Art of chiropractic techniques for spine and postural abnormalities in today’s patient populations.
• A 3 day hands on training designed to test the Chiropractic clinicians’ knowledge of CBP® technique.
• Current knowledge in CBP technique adjusting, exercises, and traction procedures reviewed. Emphasis is placed on analysis of spine/posture deformities using valid and reliable assessments and then the appropriate adjustive and rehabilitative treatment techniques.
• Interactive survey of case studies for enhanced learning.
