CBP Mirror Image Adjusting Techniques

Question 1

What is the foundational principle of Mirror Image adjusting in CBP?

Accepted Answer

The corrective force is applied in the exact opposite direction of the spinal displacement

Answer

The adjustment matches the direction of the existing spinal deformity

Answer

Forces are applied bilaterally regardless of the direction of subluxation

Answer

The patient mirrors the practitioner's posture during the procedure

Question 2

In CBP, when a patient presents with a right lateral cervical translation, the Mirror Image adjustment force vector is directed toward the:

Accepted Answer

Left side, to oppose the right displacement

Answer

Right side, reinforcing the existing translation

Answer

Posterior direction only, ignoring lateral components

Answer

Superior direction to decompress the cervical spine

Question 3

Which Harrison Spinal Model parameter is the primary target of mirror image cervical extension adjustments in CBP?

Accepted Answer

Restoration of the cervical lordosis arc

Answer

Reduction of vertebral rotation

Answer

Correction of lumbar hypolordosis

Answer

Normalization of thoracic kyphosis Cobb angle

Question 4

Mirror Image exercises in CBP are designed to:

Accepted Answer

Strengthen muscles and soft tissues that support the corrected spinal position

Answer

Increase range of motion in all planes of cervical movement

Answer

Train the patient to perform self-adjustments at home

Answer

Improve cardiovascular endurance for long-term health

Question 5

In CBP Mirror Image adjusting, the patient's spine is ideally positioned before the thrust so that it is:

Accepted Answer

Pre-loaded into the mirror image of the deformity to maximize corrective force application

Answer

In neutral position to prevent excessive force

Answer

In the direction of the subluxation to increase tissue tension

Answer

Fully rotated to open the facet joints prior to adjustment

Question 6

What is the primary biomechanical goal of Mirror Image traction in the CBP system?

Accepted Answer

To remodel viscoelastic spinal tissues toward the Harrison normal configuration

Answer

To temporarily distract vertebral segments for pain relief only

Answer

To increase intervertebral disc height without altering spinal curves

Answer

To reduce muscle spasm through prolonged passive stretching

Question 7

Which of the following best distinguishes CBP Mirror Image adjusting from conventional chiropractic high-velocity low-amplitude (HVLA) techniques?

Accepted Answer

CBP specifies exact force vectors based on measured postural deviations from the Harrison normal model

Answer

CBP adjustments use lower velocity forces to avoid joint cavitation

Answer

Mirror Image adjusting is applied only to the thoracic spine

Answer

CBP does not use radiographic analysis to guide adjustment direction
