Chiropractic Biophysics Non Profit

What Chiropractic Biophysics Non Profit does

Chiropractic BioPhysics NonProfit, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research foundation headquartered at 950 E. Riverside Drive, Eagle, Idaho. Founded in 1982 by Dr. Don Harrison and registered as a nonprofit corporation in 1989, the organization advances the Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) Technique — a structural, non-surgical approach to spinal rehabilitation that uses mirror-image methods, extension traction, 3-point bending traction, and quantitative spinal modeling to correct abnormal spinal curvature and posture. Since 1982, CBP NonProfit has produced 381 peer-reviewed publications across 63 journals, including 21 randomized controlled trials and 120 Q1-journal articles, positioning it as one of the most scientifically validated and Index Medicus-published named chiropractic techniques.

The organization monetizes and disseminates its methodology through several channels. CBP Seminars, led by President Dr. Deed Harrison, delivers certification and continuing-education courses to chiropractors worldwide through live conferences and a 49+ video YouTube library. The nonprofit also generates recurring revenue through regular and President's Circle professional membership programs, tax-deductible donations via a Shopify storefront, student scholarships, and equipment grants to chiropractic colleges. Hardware anchors include the patented Berry Lateral Translation Traction unit used in CBP offices globally, while proprietary PostureCo software (led by board member Dr. Joseph Ferrantelli) supports radiographic and postural analysis. Distribution is purely direct-to-professional via instructor-led seminars rather than product resale.

Governance is family-led and board-driven: Dr. Deed Harrison (Don Harrison's son) is President, supported by 12 board members who are certified CBP instructors, clinical fellows, and researchers. Several board members hold leadership roles in the International Chiropractors Association and contribute to ICA Best Practices, Whiplash Guidelines, and the Practicing Chiropractors' Committee on Radiology Protocols. End customers are licensed chiropractors seeking evidence-based certification and advanced protocols; the underlying patient base — treated by those certified practitioners — includes patients with chronic spinal pain, whiplash injuries, failed back surgery syndrome, scoliosis, and postural deformities. Geographic reach is global through seminars, with no disclosed plans for vertical expansion beyond the existing CBP technique domain.
