Palm Springs · Integrated CBP® care
Corrective Chiropractic
+ Acupuncture
in Palm Springs, CA
Structural precision and whole-body regulation in one coordinated plan.
Objective spinal analysis and corrective chiropractic work alongside acupuncture, herbal medicine, and recovery support—connected by a shared understanding of Chiropractic BioPhysics®.
Why combine these disciplines?
Structure and regulation affect the same person.
CBP® chiropractic evaluates posture, spinal curves, alignment, and biomechanical load. Acupuncture considers pain patterns, muscular tension, recovery, stress, circulation, and whole-body regulation.
At the Palm Springs practice, these are not disconnected services. Both providers understand CBP® principles, allowing care to be coordinated around shared findings, goals, and progress.
Two disciplines. One patient. One coordinated direction.
The Palm Springs difference
Correct the structure. Support the system.
Your plan may use chiropractic, acupuncture, or both. The combination is based on your examination, needs, tolerance, and goals.

Your integrated care path
Start with the full picture.

Listen
Review symptoms, history, previous care, stress, recovery, lifestyle, and goals.
- 02
Evaluate
Assess posture, movement, spinal mechanics, and relevant clinical findings.
- 03
Measure
Use digital imaging when clinically necessary to understand curves and alignment.
- 04
Coordinate
Define whether chiropractic, acupuncture, or an integrated plan is appropriate.
- 05
Progress
Track response, reinforce function, and adjust recommendations as the patient changes.
Objective structural care
Spinal correction begins with measurable findings.
When clinically appropriate, digital imaging helps evaluate spinal curves and alignment before corrective chiropractic recommendations are made. Acupuncture can then be coordinated to support the patient through the care process.
- Posture and biomechanical analysis
- Customized corrective traction
- Targeted adjustments and rehabilitation
- Acupuncture and recovery support

Integrated-care questions
What to know before you begin.
Do I need both chiropractic and acupuncture?
No. Recommendations are individualized. Some patients receive one discipline, while others may benefit from a coordinated plan.
How can acupuncture support CBP® corrective care?
Acupuncture may support pain modulation, recovery, muscular balance, stress regulation, circulation, and tolerance of a corrective-care program.
Will I need digital X-rays?
Not necessarily. Digital imaging is recommended only when clinically necessary and useful for evaluating spinal structure or planning corrective chiropractic care.
What does CBP® certification mean for the acupuncturist?
It means Dr. Bill Bastian, DACM, LAc understands CBP® concepts involving posture, spinal curves, and structural correction, helping acupuncture care coordinate more intentionally with the chiropractic plan.
