Uniqueness of Care
Unlike the relief care phase (approximately 3 weeks), which includes segmental adjusting procedures from other named techniques, the E.A.T corrective care protocol is unique to CBP®. These are Exercise, Adjustments, and Traction with mirror image® positioning. In combination, these “E.A.T.” methods are unique to CBP® Technique. Exercises, Adjustments, and Traction are performed in the Mirror Image® of the postures depicted in Figures 1 and 2. Additionally, traction is performed in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions based on the configurations of the lordotic and kyphotic curvatures. For examples of CBP®’s E.A.T corrective care protocols, a few postural and spinal subluxations in the coronal and sagittal planes will be provided and discussed. First, however, we must state that CBP® recognizes and teaches four primary types of spinal subluxations.42 The reader needs to be aware that these four types can occur singularly or in different combinations. For our purposes here we will only present treatment of the first two types. These four types include:
1) Postural rotations and translations and their consequent spinal coupling (displacement patterns),
2) Sagittal plane buckling or snap through causing hypo-lordosis, S-Curves, or complete reversals,
3) Coronal plane buckling-such as different types of scoliotic curvatures,
4) Segmental instability such as retrolisthesis, anterolisthesis, etc…
There is a possibility of nearly 130 million posture combinations.
