Spine Centre Comprehensive treatment for patients with chronic
pain in the back and neck
DBC
is an international network of spine centres offering a comprehensive
treatment for patients with chronic pain in the back and neck.
The treatment follows international guidelines for back and neck
care issued by health authorities and has shown its efficacy in
several clinical studies published in medical journals. The centres
operate in more than 12 countries throughout Western Europe and
the USA. Singapore is the first country in Asia to offer DBC services.
All centres adopt the same systematic approach, quality control,
centralised training, common tools and continuous communication
to ensure that the accumulated know-how is utilised in the same
way in every clinic.
In many countries, private insurance companies and major corporations
utilise the DBC services as an integral part of official medical
care

The "deconditioning syndrome" is a major factor in chronic back pain.
Inactivity and protective guarding of the painful area lead to deconditioning
in which the structures and functions of the spine deteriorate. In this
process, co-ordination and motor control of the spine also become impaired.
The result is chronic pain and reduced tolerance to loading and movement.
Reduced muscular endurance and loss of protective mechanisms increase
the risk of further injury.
Pain Cycle |
|
The
DBC programme is aimed at reversing this vicious cycle. Utilising active
motion and careful, progressive loading in DBC's specifically designed
training devices, the body's own healing mechanisms are triggered. The
result is strengthening of the structures and improvement of co-ordination
and control of the spine. Pain is also reduced, often vanishing altogether.

INTEGRATED
TREATMENT CONCEPT
The concept consists of various elements, each of which contributes
to its success. These elements consist of protected, propriety know-how,
available only to DBC. These are applied in a universal fashion
at all DBC centres, producing consistently good results.

|
This is a comprehensive treatment programme aiming to eradicate
pain and restore normal function of the spine. The programme runs
with 2 sessions per week during 6 weeks, each session lasting 60-75
minutes. During all sessions you will be guided by one of our licensed
DBC physiotherapists.
|
Contents |
• |
|
1st session: Baseline evaluation, including questionnaire, clinical
examination, objective testing of mobility and endurance (EMG). |
• |
|
2nd session: Individual treatment session. |
• |
|
3rd-11th sessions: Treatment/functional exercises in DBC specific
training devices. |
• |
|
12th session: Outcome evaluation/Progress check. |
In addition, an individual relaxation and stretching programme is
designed. The result of evaluations and progress checks are presented
with our DBC software as verbal, numerical and graphical reports.
The treatment programme can be extended for an additional six weeks
dependent on the severity of the condition.
What Results Can I Expect?
The success of the DBC treatment for back and neck patients has
been verified by independent studies as well as by the continuous
follow-up documentation from DBC clinics around the world.
Up to 85% of the patients report pain reduction during the treatment
programme. In addition, follow-up results show that DBC can reduce
absenteeism from work and subsequently decrease losses in productivity
and costs of early retirement. In many cases, patients have been
successfully rehabilitated with DBC alone without the need for invasive
therapy. |
