Active people in Sonoma, Glen Ellen, Santa Rosa, and Napa come to PEAK Performance and Posture when their bodies stop keeping up with their lifestyle — whether that's recurring cycling injuries, persistent hip pain on the trail, or a performance plateau they can't push past. Dr. Hodgson uses Chiropractic BioPhysics® to find and correct the structural spinal issues that standard care misses, so you can get back to doing what you love at full capacity.
If you're an athlete or active adult in Sonoma whose body isn't performing or recovering the way it should, the root cause is often structural — and structural problems require structural solutions. PEAK Performance and Posture provides sports and performance chiropractic care using Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®), the most extensively researched chiropractic technique available, to correct the spinal alignment issues that limit athletic function, slow recovery, and lead to recurring injuries.
What is Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®): CBP is a precision chiropractic method backed by over 300 peer-reviewed studies published in indexed journals, including the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics. Unlike standard chiropractic care focused on temporary symptom relief, CBP uses mirror-image adjustments, corrective spinal traction, and postural rehabilitation to restore the spine toward its ideal alignment — with results that are measured and verified on x-ray before and after treatment.
- Sports and performance chiropractic at PEAK focuses on correcting the structural spinal issues that limit performance and drive recurring athletic injuries.
- CBP® is the most research-backed chiropractic technique available, using mirror-image adjustments and corrective traction to produce measurable, x-ray-verified spinal improvement.
- PEAK Performance and Posture is the only CBP-certified practice serving Sonoma, Glen Ellen, Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Napa, and the surrounding communities.
- Every patient receives an individualized structural evaluation — including postural analysis and x-rays where indicated — before any care plan begins.
- Structural correction through CBP® supports both injury recovery and proactive performance optimization for athletes of all disciplines.
Whether you're cycling the rolling roads of Sonoma Valley, hiking above Glen Ellen, riding horses in El Verano, or practicing yoga in Petaluma, your spine is the central structural axis of every movement you make. When that structure is misaligned, the consequences go far beyond pain: biomechanical efficiency drops, recovery time extends, injury risk climbs, and performance plateaus in ways that training and massage alone cannot resolve.
"I see this pattern constantly in our Sonoma practice" — Dr. H says — "an active patient comes in having tried everything: physical therapy, foam rolling, the occasional adjustment elsewhere. Their pain keeps cycling back, or their performance hits a wall. When we look at their x-rays, the reason becomes clear. The spine itself hasn't changed. CBP is designed to change it."
Dr. Hodgson (Dr. H) works with athletes and active adults across a wide range of sports and disciplines, including:
- Cyclists and triathletes from Sonoma, Rohnert Park, and Cotati
- Trail runners and hikers in the Sonoma Valley and Santa Rosa area
- Equestrians from El Verano, Boyes Hot Springs, and Eldridge
- Yoga practitioners and Pilates enthusiasts throughout the region
- Golfers, swimmers, and recreational athletes from Napa, American Canyon, Yountville, and St. Helena
If your sport loads your spine — and virtually all of them do — structural correction through CBP® is relevant to your athletic health.
Every new patient starts with a comprehensive structural assessment. Dr. H uses postural analysis and x-ray evaluation to measure your spinal alignment against the evidence-based Harrison ideal — the standard CBP research uses to define optimal spinal structure. From there, he develops a precision corrective care plan that may include:
- Mirror-image adjustments targeting your specific spinal deviations
- Corrective spinal traction calibrated to your individual curve measurements
- Home rehabilitation exercises to reinforce and accelerate structural gains
- Movement and sport-specific guidance to protect your structural progress
This is not a generic adjustment protocol — it is individualized structural correction with measurable outcomes.
Yes — significantly. CBP® is not standard chiropractic care. Where most sports chiropractors address symptoms, muscle tension, and joint mobility, Dr. H addresses the structural alignment of the spine itself: the curves, angles, and load distribution that determine how your body functions mechanically over the long term. Results are not just felt — they are measured on x-ray.
Absolutely. Many of our patients in Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and across Sonoma Valley come to PEAK proactively — not because they're injured, but because they want to optimize their structural foundation before something goes wrong. Correcting spinal deviations reduces abnormal mechanical stress on discs, joints, and nerve tissue, which directly reduces injury risk and supports long-term athletic longevity.
Structural correction takes time — spinal curves shift gradually with precision, not overnight. Most patients notice meaningful improvements in function and comfort in the early weeks of care, with structural changes verified on comparative x-rays as the plan progresses. Your results are documented, not just described.
No. Many of our strongest results come from patients who are functioning well but want to function better — optimizing their structural health the same way they optimize training, nutrition, and recovery. If you are active and you want your body to perform and hold up for the long term, CBP-based structural correction at PEAK is one of the most evidence-backed investments you can make.
Your spine is the foundation of everything you do athletically. If it is not optimally aligned, you are working harder than you need to — and carrying more risk than you should. At PEAK Performance and Posture, we help active patients throughout Sonoma, Glen Ellen, Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Napa, and surrounding communities correct that foundation using the most research-backed chiropractic method available.
