Lecture:
The Scientific Basis for CBP Technique:
A Research Review of the Harrison Ideal & Average Full Spine
Sagittal Model, Subluxation Analysis, Measurement Reliability & Treatment
Outcome Studies
A four tiered approach to categorize CBP Technique
spinal research will assist in learning. The first tier presents
the Harrison ideal and average spinal model of the sagittal plane
curvatures. Qualitative geometric shapes, quantitative values of
spinal curvature, and validity of the spinal model will be the
focus.
The second tier discusses applications of the
spinal model for the description of vertebral Subluxation. CBP
Technique emphasizes four types of structural displacements of
the upright spinal column. Research on two of these displacements,
posture displacements and consequent spinal coupling patterns and
alterations of the sagittal plane curves (buckling) will be described.
Tier three is the reliability and validity of
the measurement of the spinal displacements described in tier two.
CBP utilizes x-ray mensuration procedures to quantify spinal displacements
on spinal radiographs and utilizes posture analysis to categorize
displacement of the head, thorax, and pelvis as rotations and translations
in three-dimensions. Research on the reliability of x-ray positioning,
line drawing, and postural analysis is the focus.
The fourth tier includes research on CBP Technique
patient outcomes using the information in the first 3 tiers. Here,
improvements in spinal alignment, patient outcomes, and treatment
dosage will be discussed.
Workshop:
Basics of CBP Technique: Application of
Mirror Image Exercise, Mirror Image Adjustment, & Mirror
Image Traction for the Reduction of Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar
Spinal Subluxations
The CBP Technique protocol of care will be used as the outline for initial
patient treatment recommendations; categorized as Relief care and Corrective
care. Initially, in Relief care, CBP Technique utilizes traditional segmental
adjustment techniques to improve joint mobility, muscle function, and
pain. The primary goal and focus of CBP is Corrective care.
In Corrective care, unique CBP Technique Mirror
Image exercise, adjustment, and traction (E.A.T.) procedures are
utilized to improve/reduce spine and posture displacements. The
attendee will learn the application of the Mirror Image E.A.T procedures
for two primary categories of spinal Subluxation: 1) posture displacements
as rotations and translations and their consequent spinal coupling
patterns, and 2) abnormalities of the sagittal plane curves, termed
sagittal buckling.
Specifically, Mirror Image adjustments using
unique drop table and hand held instrument setups will be presented.
Mirror Image exercises for the correction of rotations and translation
of the head, thorax, and pelvis will be shown. Lastly, several
types of Mirror Image traction methods will be shown.
