There are many methods of chiropractic treatment that may be used in treating your specific ailment. Dr. Kajiki chooses Chiropractic Bio-physics because CBP is truly the only method that addresses fixing the problem, not just the pain.
Here is a brief summary of chiropractic, and Chiropractic Bio-physics:
“The primary goal of chiropractic care is to reduce or eliminate the damaging effects of abnormal posture on the body. By improving the petient's posture and spinal biomechanics (spinal position) the stress and strain upon the nervous system is minimized and the body has the greatest opportunity to heal. Only those techniques which have been validated clinically or through research are employed in working with the patient...” http://www.idealspine.com/pages/questions_and_answers_about_chiropractic.htm

“Chiropractic Biophysics Doctors address each component of this process with a comprehensive, corrective care approach consisting of specific mirror image postural adjustments, mirror image postural exercises, and mirror image extension traction.
In addition to the traditional orthopedic, neurologic, and chiropractic exams, a patient's X-rays are analyzed for proper alignment and curvature and are compared to the published normal values of the Harrison Normal Spinal model. The degree to which the patient's spine deviates from this model generally determines length of their treatment. Specific factors that determine treatment length include:
Patient's age,
Phase of spinal degeneration (how long the problem has been present, which is determined by the presence bone spurs (osteoarthritis...picture below)
Treatment compliance.
General health of the patient and lifestyle activities.
Since people respond differently and compliance is an unknown variable at the start of treatment, the time it takes to correct the spine varies. The minimum time frame for most cases is two to three months. At the end of a corrective care phase, a final re-exam is done with post x-rays and may include computerized postural exam to determine the percentage of spinal correction. At this time, the patient, if happy with their correction, can progress and maintain their correction by way of maintenance adjustments or continue corrective care procedures if warranted....the choice is always up to the patient.” http://www.idealspine.com/pages/subluxation.htm
