CBP®-Certified Structural insight for integrated care
A connected approach
Your symptoms do not exist in isolation.
Pain, tension, sleep, stress, circulation, digestion, activity, and recovery can influence how you feel and function. Acupuncture care begins by understanding the larger pattern—not applying the same treatment to every person.
Because Dr. Bill Bastian, DACM, LAc is certified in Chiropractic BioPhysics®, he also understands how posture and spinal structure may relate to the care being provided by the Palm Springs chiropractor.
Whole-body care informed by structure, function, and response.

When care is integrated
Acupuncture and corrective chiropractic can support different parts of the same plan.
Acupuncture does not require chiropractic care. When both are appropriate, shared CBP® knowledge helps the providers coordinate their roles around the same findings and goals.
- Acupuncture may support pain modulation and muscular balance
- Corrective chiropractic addresses posture and spinal mechanics
- Herbal medicine may support broader health patterns when appropriate
- Each discipline is recommended only when clinically relevant

Common questions
What to know before you begin.
Do I need chiropractic care to receive acupuncture?
No. Acupuncture can be provided as a standalone service. When structural findings are relevant, it may also be coordinated with corrective chiropractic care.
What does CBP® certification mean for an acupuncturist?
It provides additional understanding of posture, spinal curves, and corrective chiropractic principles, supporting clearer coordination when both disciplines are part of your plan.
Is herbal medicine included in every plan?
No. Herbal recommendations are individualized and used only when appropriate for your needs, health history, and care goals.
How many acupuncture visits will I need?
Frequency depends on the concern, its duration, your health history, and how you respond. Recommendations are discussed after the initial evaluation.
Can acupuncture support sports and activity recovery?
It may be used to support muscular comfort, recovery, circulation, and regulation for active adults. Your evaluation determines whether it is appropriate for your situation.
