Advanced BioStructural Correction (ABC)

What Is Advanced BioStructural Correction (ABC)?

If you’ve tried traditional chiropractic care and found that your relief only lasts a few days before pain returns, there’s a reason — and it isn’t that chiropractic “doesn’t work.” The reason is that most chiropractic approaches adjust bones in directions your body can self-correct. When your body can correct a misalignment on its own, it will — typically within hours or days. This is why pain comes back so quickly after many standard adjustments.

Advanced BioStructural Correction (ABC) is fundamentally different. Developed by Dr. Jesse Jutkowitz, ABC is built on a single, powerful insight: the human body cannot self-correct bones that have shifted forward. There are no muscles positioned behind the spine to pull it back. When a vertebra moves anteriorly (forward), it stays there — and your body compensates by twisting, bending, and distorting other structures to keep your head level and your eyes on the horizon. This cascade of compensations is the actual source of most chronic spinal pain, postural collapse, and loss of function.

At SpringBack Chiropractic in Surprise, AZ, Dr. Patrick Bain uses ABC to identify and correct these anterior misalignments. The result isn’t just temporary symptom relief — it’s lasting structural correction that allows your body to hold its improved alignment between visits.

How Is ABC Different From Traditional Chiropractic?

Traditional chiropractic methods may adjust joints in many directions, often including directions your body will compensate away from naturally. ABC focuses exclusively on the specific misalignments that require external correction. By targeting only those directions, the body can accept and maintain the correction rather than working against it.

You’ll notice several things that set an ABC adjustment apart:

• Meningeal releases: Dr. Bain includes gentle stretching of the meninges (the membranes surrounding your spinal cord and brain). Fascial tension in the meninges contributes significantly to postural distortion, and releasing it allows the spine to decompress and lengthen naturally.
• Progressive improvement: Each visit builds on the last. Unlike traditional care where patients often plateau, ABC patients typically see steady, measurable improvement in their posture and function visit after visit.
• Fully clothed treatment: Adjustments are performed while you are fully clothed and typically in a standing or lying position — no twisting, cracking rotations.
• Predictable results: Because ABC follows a consistent, evidence-based protocol, the results are reproducible and verifiable through postural assessment and patient-reported outcomes.

What Conditions Respond to ABC?

ABC addresses the structural foundation underlying a wide range of conditions, including:

• Chronic low back pain and disc problems
• Sciatica and radiating leg pain
• Neck pain and cervicogenic headaches
• Scoliosis and kyphosis (forward head posture)
• Shoulder, hip, and knee pain caused by postural compensation
• Sports injuries and repetitive strain
• Fibromyalgia and widespread pain conditions

Many patients come to SpringBack Chiropractic after years of failed treatments — surgeries, injections, traditional chiropractic, physical therapy — and find that ABC provides the relief and lasting correction they were never able to achieve elsewhere.

What Does an ABC Session Look Like?

Your first visit with Dr. Bain includes a thorough postural and structural assessment. We look at how your body is compensating, where the primary misalignments are, and what sequence of corrections will produce the best results. You may also have X-rays taken if clinically indicated.

During the adjustment itself, Dr. Bain works through a specific protocol — addressing the most significant misalignments first and incorporating meningeal releases throughout. Most patients feel an immediate sense of lightness or ease after their first session. Some feel mild soreness as their body adapts to a corrected position, which resolves quickly.

As care progresses, most patients report:

• Standing taller without effort
• Reduced or eliminated pain
• Better balance and coordination
• More energy — because the body is no longer working to compensate for structural distortions
• Improvement in conditions they didn’t expect, including digestion, breathing, and sleep quality

Dr. Bain’s Personal Connection to ABC

Dr. Patrick Bain’s journey to ABC began with his own health crisis. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at age 21, he turned to chiropractic and natural health when conventional medicine offered only symptom management. Through structural correction and holistic care, he reversed his symptoms — and went on to train in ABC, Nutrition Response Testing, and emotional healing techniques so he could offer the same comprehensive approach to patients in Surprise, AZ.

Dr. Bain’s personal experience with serious neurological illness gives him a unique perspective on what patients need: not just a treatment, but a path to genuine, lasting recovery.
