Reduction of lumbar hyperlordosis in a pediatric: a Chiropractic Biophysics® case report.

This is a single case report, so it cannot determine if the treatment works for other children. The authors state that there are no clinical trials documenting the reduction of lumbar spine hyperlordosis via CBP approaches. The patient discontinued home exercises during the second phase of treatment, making it unclear which components of the care contributed to the final outcome. The authors argue that low-dose radiation is not carcinogenic to justify X-ray screening, but this is a contested claim and the use of repeated radiographs in a child raises safety questions not addressed by the data. The conclusion that structural correction caused the pain relief is speculative, as the authors suggest nerve impingement was resolved but did not measure nerve function.

Dr. Paul Oakley is a paid consultant for CBP NonProfit, Inc. Dr. Deed Harrison teaches chiropractic rehabilitation methods and sells products to physicians.

Do not interpret the complete resolution of pain and structural changes as proof that Chiropractic BioPhysics is effective for pediatric back pain. This is a single case report with no control group, and the authors explicitly state that no clinical trials exist for this approach.
