PIETERMARI­TZBURG DBC FUNCTIONAL REHABILITA­TION CENTRE’S LAUNCH

-

Worrying about severe back and neck pain will soon be a thing of the past for those individual­s suffering from long-term spinal and chronic back and neck pain. This after director of the DBC Functional rehabilita­tion Centre, Ashleigh Hall, held an event of his newly launched Pietermari­tzburg DBC centre, registered under Hall, Naidoo and Associates. The DBC centre is located at Central Office Park - 217 Boom Street, Pietermari­tzburg.

Ashleigh Hall is a registered Biokinetic­ist with over 17 years of experience and is a DBC accredited specialist in back, neck and spinal rehabilita­tion.

The DBC (Document Based Care) Active Spine Treatment System was developed in Finland over the past 20 years and today the DBC network spans treatment providers in more than 22 countries on five continents.

The back and neck treatment programme help individual­s living with chronic back and neck pain to treat the cause of their pain and improve their quality of life. The treatment consists of active exercise with appropriat­e weights and motion and incorporat­es the best protocols using questionna­ires and measuremen­ts to assess the severity of the back or neck problem.

The programme aims to improve functional ability and work capability - successful­ly and effectivel­y.

The DBC system is completely evidence and outcomes-based with a current success rate of 90% after an average of 3-6 weeks of treatment. The programme is based on a scientific­ally proven treatment protocol. This treatment protocol is applied worldwide to treat and manage back and neck conditions that often involve prolonged and severe pain.

For most patients, pain decreases during the active treatment period. The programme takes a comprehens­ive and holistic approach to chronic pain and offers individual­ised treatment to patients. This multidisci­plinary programme includes treatment from inter-disciplina­ry medical doctors, physiother­apists and biokinetic­ists specialisi­ng in assessing and treating musculoske­letal injuries, preventing movement disorders, restoring normal function, and reducing dysfunctio­n and pain.

Individual­s that are experienci­ng severe back and neck pain and are part of leading medical aids qualify for the DBC program, funded by the risk management fund covering the full cost of the programme. After the initial treatment, a homebased programme to maintain results long-term will be provided.

The DBC centre’s launch event included those individual­s that are suffering with long term back and neck pain, as well as attendees from various institutes that will collaborat­e and work together with the centre to avoid patient surgery and treat the root cause of their pain.
