If you've been looking for a chiropractor in Sonoma who does more than temporary pain relief, you're looking for what PEAK Performance and Posture offers: Chiropractic BioPhysics®; the most researched, evidence-based structural correction method in chiropractic. Dr. Hodgson and the PEAK team are the only CBP-certified providers serving Sonoma Valley, Napa Valley, and the greater North Bay.
Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®) is the most extensively researched chiropractic technique in the world and PEAK Performance and Posture in Sonoma is the only practice in the area certified to deliver it. If you've been looking for a chiropractor who uses an evidence-based, structural correction approach rather than temporary symptom management, you've found the right place.
What is Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®): CBP is a precision chiropractic methodology originally developed by Don Harrison and supported by over 300 peer-reviewed studies published in journals including the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics and Clinical Biomechanics. Rather than focusing on pain relief alone, CBP uses detailed spinal analysis, mirror-image adjustments, and corrective traction protocols to restore the spine toward its ideal structural alignment and results that are measured and documented on x-ray before and after care.
- PEAK Performance and Posture is the only CBP-certified chiropractic practice in Sonoma and the surrounding region — including Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Glen Ellen, and Napa.
- Chiropractic BioPhysics® is backed by over 300 peer-reviewed studies, making it the most research-supported technique in the chiropractic field.
- CBP corrects the structural alignment of the spine, not just symptoms, using mirror-image adjustments, corrective traction, and personalized home rehabilitation.
- Results are verified on x-ray, providing objective, measurable evidence of real structural change over the course of care.
- CBP-based correction at PEAK addresses a wide range of conditions: neck pain, back pain, sciatica, headaches, scoliosis, and poor posture by resolving their shared structural root.
Standard chiropractic care focuses primarily on restoring joint motion and reducing pain. These goals are valuable but incomplete when a patient has a structural spinal problem. Most adjustments produce real, temporary relief. What they do not consistently produce is a lasting change in the alignment of the spine itself.
CBP is built on a fundamentally different premise: that the shape of the spine matters, that specific curve measurements correspond to specific health outcomes, and that those curves can be systematically corrected toward an evidence-based ideal. The method uses mirror-image positioning to precisely counter a patient's specific spinal deviation during adjustments and traction, the way a mold counters a deformity. Over a structured course of care, the spine responds by moving toward better structural alignment.
Dr. Martin Hodgson (Dr. H) is the owner and primary treating doctor at PEAK, and holds advanced CBP certifications earned through rigorous post-doctoral training in the methodology. He has applied CBP structural correction to patients from across Sonoma, Glen Ellen, El Verano, Boyes Hot Springs, Eldridge, Sonoma Valley, Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, and Cotati as well as patients traveling from Napa, American Canyon, Yountville, and St. Helena who cannot find CBP-certified care closer to home. He has worked to built PEAK into the structural chiropractic authority for the entire North Bay.
CBP-based structural correction is applicable to any condition in which spinal misalignment is a contributing factor. At PEAK, we regularly use CBP to address:
- Chronic neck pain and cervical curve loss
- Lower and upper back pain
- Sciatica and lumbar disc-related conditions
- Tension and cervicogenic headaches
- Scoliosis and structural postural deviations
- Sports injuries and performance-limiting spinal issues
- Postural problems in adolescents, adults, and active seniors
Because CBP corrects the structural foundation shared by many of these conditions, patients often report improvements across multiple symptoms simultaneously.
Your first visit at PEAK begins with a comprehensive structural evaluation. Dr. H will conduct a detailed postural assessment and unless contraindicated, x-ray imaging to measure your spinal alignment against the Harrison ideal model. He will walk you through exactly what he finds, explain what is driving your symptoms, and outline what a CBP-based corrective care plan would look like for your specific structure.
There is no one-size-fits-all protocol. Every care plan is designed around your individual spinal measurements. And every step of your progress is documented with objective data — not just your self-reported improvement.
CBP® is a structural correction method that uses spinal analysis, mirror-image adjustments, and corrective traction to restore the spine toward its ideal alignment rather than simply relieving pain. It is backed by over 300 peer-reviewed studies and produces results that are verified on x-ray. Standard chiropractic focuses on symptom relief through spinal manipulation; CBP focuses on structural correction with measurable, lasting outcomes.
Yes. PEAK Performance and Posture is the only CBP-certified practice serving Sonoma, Glen Ellen, Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Napa, and the surrounding communities. No other chiropractor in Sonoma Valley or Napa Valley holds this certification. For patients who want the most evidence-based structural correction available, PEAK is the only option in the region.
CBP at PEAK is used to address neck pain, back pain, sciatica, headaches, scoliosis, sports injuries, poor posture, as well as many conditions that haven't responded to standard care. Because CBP corrects the structural source, patients often see improvements across multiple symptoms once alignment begins to improve.
The best way to find out is to schedule a consultation and examination. Dr. H will assess your spine with postural analysis and x-rays, explain what he finds, and outline whether and how CBP-based correction can help. There is no obligation to proceed beyond that first evaluation.
