CBP Mirror Image Adjusting Techniques 2

Question 1

During a Mirror Image lumbar adjustment for a right rotational deformity, the corrective rotational force should be applied toward the:

Accepted Answer

Left rotation, opposite to the right deformity

Answer

Mirror Image protocol requires applying the corrective force in the left rotational direction to counteract the existing right rotational spinal deformity.

Question 2

Harrison's Mirror Image concept in CBP is grounded in which mechanical principle?

Accepted Answer

Viscoelastic creep — sustained loads in the corrective direction produce plastic deformation of spinal soft tissues

Answer

CBP mirror image traction and exercises exploit viscoelastic creep, applying sustained corrective loads so that spinal ligaments and discs undergo plastic (permanent) deformation toward normal alignment.

Question 3

In CBP practice, mirror image postures (held positions) are typically maintained for a minimum of how long per session to initiate viscoelastic tissue remodeling?

Accepted Answer

10 to 20 minutes

Answer

CBP traction and mirror image postures are typically held for 10–20 minutes per session to reach the creep phase of viscoelastic tissue deformation and initiate structural change.

Question 4

Which radiographic measurement confirms successful progress in a CBP cervical mirror image traction program?

Accepted Answer

Increase in the cervical Cobb angle toward the Harrison normal of approximately 34°

Answer

In CBP, improvement in cervical lordosis is quantified by the Cobb angle increasing toward Harrison's established normal of approximately 34°, confirming successful structural correction.

Question 5

For a patient with an anterior head translation (forward head posture), the Mirror Image traction setup would position the head in:

Accepted Answer

Posterior translation relative to the trunk to oppose the anterior displacement

Answer

Anterior head translation is corrected by setting the traction device to apply a posterior translatory force on the head, the direct mirror image of the forward displacement.
