What is Advanced BioStructural Correction (ABC)™?

Advanced BioStructural Correction™, known as ABC™ for short, is a revolutionary technique which corrects spinal structure and function, as well as removes tension on the nervous system, through the use of specific spinal, pelvic and extremity manipulations, a.k.a. adjustments, in combination with specialized soft tissue stretches known as meningeal releases. The results are tremendous improvements in posture as well as the relief of painful symptoms and conditions.

Advanced BioStructural Correction™, corrects spinal misalignments, or "subluxations", in which the joint has slipped forward, or anterior. The body is unable to self-correct these “anteriorities” because there is no muscle attached to the posterior (back) aspect of the vertebra which can pull straight backwards along the horizontal axis and restore proper joint alignment and biomechanics. Because the body cannot fix these anterior subluxations, it must instead compensate by purposefully putting joints out of alignment above or below the joint which is stuck anterior. These "compensations" help the body cope with the problem it cannot self-correct. With ABC™, only the anterior subluxations are corrected, thereby fixing the problem the body could not self-correct, and thus allowing the body to remove the corresponding compensations itself.

Advanced BioStructural Correction™ also helps relieve pain and improve nervous system function by breaking up scar tissue and adhesions of the connective tissue deep inside the spinal canal, known as the meninges. The meninges protect and cover the brain and spinal cord, and these tissues can become stuck to the inside of the spinal canal in response to traumas and repetitive injuries to the spine which we are exposed to throughout our lives. The more adhesions and scar tissue in the meninges, the greater the tension on the brain and spinal cord. Through the use of specialized stretches called meningeal releases, the ABC™ practitioner is able to break up and remove this tissue tension which adversely affects the nervous system.

ABC™ is very different to many other chiropractic and manipulative techniques, and the results are far more effective and predictable as a result. The technique follows a specific protocol in which the body is tested to determine which meningeal releases are required and where adjustments should be made on that particular visit. Through a back-and-forth process of the correction of anteriorities by the practitioner, and the body’s release of compensations in response to the corrections, the body literally “unwinds” through built of layers of problems (anterior subluxations) and compensations during a patient’s course of care. This process is called the “unwinding process” and it is part of the healing experience which all ABC™ patients will go through as their body restores proper posture, structure, and function.
