What
is Advanced Biostructural Correction™?
|
ADVANCED
BIOSTRUCTURAL CORRECTION™ (ABC™) is a very effective chiropractic
technique that allows for full spinal correction so the body can
work the way it was designed to. On this page are some
before-and-after photos of practice members receiving ABC™, some
representative success stories and a more
detailed explanation of ABC™.
The results are often
dramatic and they last. The spine is unlocked and a
three-dimensional unwinding process takes place over days, weeks,
and months. All structures from the skull to the toes are evaluated
and aligned in ways that allow for the body to work as a single,
synchronous functioning unit. The body unwinds and remodels to its
optimal state.

 | One must feel it to
believe it. You will feel the difference.
Practice
members receiving ABC™ consistently report:
- Better posture and balance
- Feeling stronger
- Full breath and ease of movement
- Relief and recovery from old injuries and pains, no matter how
long-standing (even our elderly practice members report this)

 | For those of you who
want additional information as to how ABC™ works, we have an
excellent introductory video (30 minutes) available for viewing in
our office, as well as several articles.
We have gotten great
results with patients with a variety of serious illnesses. It is our
delight to be able to offer Advanced Biostructural Correction™ to
you!
The series of images below show Dr. Pierre's progression
from before he started receiving ABC™ adjustments until January of
2003 (when this series was added to the website). From the series
you can see the spinal unwinding process taking place. Over the
period of about four months, Dr. Pierre's height increased by 3/8".

ADVANCED
BIOSTRUCTURAL CORRECTION (ABC™): A state of the art
system of analyzing and adjusting the spine and body that,
over time, allows the body to unwind and recover from its
previous injuries and distortions, and thus achieve its
optimal, healthy state. This is achieved by:
|
| 1) First checking for and releasing
tension in the meningeal system. The meninges are
the tough, elastic coverings of the brain and spinal cord.
Besides protecting the brain and spinal cord, they also act as
an elastic stabilizer (like a big rubber band) running from
the tailbone to the head to help hold the spine together. They
should never be a problem, but in a spine that is partially
stuck forward (see below), improper tension or fixation of the
meninges can cause a misaligned vertebra to become locked out
of position. Therefore, this must usually be addressed before
the vertebrae can be easily moved into their correct
positions. |
2) Only adjusting those vertebrae and
other bones that the body cannot retrieve or reposition on its
own. In the spine, this means gently adjusting
ONLY those vertebrae that have become stuck forward
(anterior), because the body has no way of pulling them
backward (posterior). Below the neck, we have no muscles that
pull vertebrae backward, but we do have muscles pulling in the
other directions.
This sequence of procedures allows
the spine to begin to unwind and uncoil like a big spring and
correct itself as it has been trying to do since the
original injury(ies). This is so even if the injury(ies)
happened years or even decades in the
past.
|
| The entire spine, skull,
ribcage, shoulders, pelvis, legs and feet work together as a
single, synchronous, functional
unit. |
The ABC™ protocol also
corrects the forward spinal lean that has been pulling on the
brainstem and spinal cord. Nervous tissue that has been under
constant mechanical tension is allowed to slacken, restoring
normal nerve flow, often for the first time in many years.
[This accounts for much of ABC™'s health benefits for
everyone. To see an article on how ABC™ helps persons

The
unwinding process is at times rapid and dramatic (and
symptomatic). At other times, unwinding is slow and
methodical, requiring numerous "nudges" by the chiropractor
and causing the patient little discomfort. The pace of
unwinding is controlled more by your body and what it can
self-correct without help than by the doctor, but when your
body needs the help, getting adjusted more often both speeds
things up and makes the process much less
symptomatic.
