Structural Correction
A measurement-based approach, with the evidence and its limits set out on our research page.
More Than Just Adjustments
Structural Correction is an evidence-informed, measurement-based approach designed to improve spinal alignment toward established biomechanical reference values. It draws on physiology, physics, geometry, and anatomy to identify the structural factors that may be contributing to your pain, discomfort, or loss of mobility.
Where methods aimed only at immediate pain relief address the symptom, Structural Correction also targets the structural findings that may be driving it. What we can tell you honestly is this: we measure your alignment before we begin, we reassess it during care, and we show you what actually changed — including when it changes less than we hoped.
Why Choose a Structural Correction Doctor?
Dr. Bury is a Palmer College of Chiropractic graduate with more than eight years in practice in Westmoreland County. We measure, analyze and plan from objective findings rather than estimate.
Advanced Technology
Our traction and decompression equipment applies a specific, measured load. It is selected for your findings. It is not the treatment, and it is not the reason to choose us.
Mechanical spinal decompression
Our decompression table applies computer-controlled traction along a specific spinal segment. The intent is to modify how that segment is loaded and to temporarily reduce mechanical stress on the disc and surrounding tissues, in selected patients where it is clinically appropriate. We do not claim it pulls herniated material back into the disc, and it is not a substitute for a proper examination establishing whether you are a candidate.
- Precise, computer-controlled tension
- Targets specific spinal levels
Cervical Traction
A reduced cervical curve (loss of cervical lordosis) is commonly associated with neck pain and headaches. Our cervical traction units apply sustained, gentle load to the tissues at the front of the spine, with the goal of improving that curve toward normal values.
- Designed to improve cervical lordosis
- Response checked by follow-up measurement
Lumbar & Thoracic Traction
Like the neck, the mid and lower back have curves with published normal ranges. We use specific traction set-ups designed to improve measured findings such as scoliosis, hyperkyphosis (increased upper-back rounding) and loss of the lumbar curve toward normal values, where the examination supports it.
- Designed to improve measured alignment
- Response checked by follow-up measurement
Chiropractic BioPhysics®, the technique system our structural correction methods draw on, has a published research base, and it is a mixed one. We set it out in full — the controlled trials, the case reports, the limitations and the authors’ own financial disclosures — on our research and evidence page.
