TARGETED BACK PAIN TREATMENT

We specialise in the relief and treatment of musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions/pain on the back, neck and shoulders.

We utilise Finish developed and proven techniques, with specialist equipment to target and treat back pain that standard musculoskeletal clinics come short to address.

We use specific screening tools to help us determine our patients’ risk levels. Risk levels refer to the likelihood of a patient having to go for surgery. The number of treatment sessions a patient gets on the DBC program is determined by their risk level.

We have 3 risk levels, low risk, medium and high risk. Our treatment sessions can go up to 12 plus maintenance sessions depending on the risk level a patient is on.

OUR PROGRAMME

Our DBC method combines these medical disciplines with specialist equipment in to a program for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment of the problem.

Evaluation

The contents and duration of the DBC programme depend on the severity of pain, the severity of deconditioning, psychological profile and social needs. These are assessed with validated questionnaires and measurements – not only to define patients’ needs, but also to monitor progress and document outcomes.

Functional rehabilitation therapy

DBC-trained therapists guide the physical reconditioning programmes. The treatment is primarily based on exercises in iso-inertial rehabilitation medical equipment where correct loading and range limiters ensure exercises are performed in a painless and safe range of motion, targeting the lumbar spine paravertebral muscles.

Treatment includes controlled movements in lumbar and thoracic flexion, extension, rotation and lateral flexion.

The treatment begins with individualised loads. The load is gradually increased until, at the end of the programme, patients are instructed to continue an individualised secondary-prevention programme. This is carried out with or without guidance depending on the patient’s needs.

The aim is to achieve segmental motion of the lumbar spine in a controlled manner.

Treatment reports

Treatment and evaluation reports on progress are generated at baseline, three weeks (or after six treatments) and six weeks (or after 12 treatments) follow-up and intermittently in the maintenance period. Patients are discharged with a choice of home-based, gym-based or DBC-based exercise and pain management programmes.

Cognitive and behavioural support

The patient receives handouts that explain the back problem in layman’s terms. Members of the rehab team also reinforce the benign nature and good prognosis of low-back pain. This, combined with objective measurements of the patient’s progress, result in diminished fear of pain and increased self-efficacy beliefs. DBC provides treatment- and cost-effective solutions to patients, practitioners and funders alike, improving quality of life and maintaining quality of care.
