How long is the DBC Program?
The DBC program varies in duration depending on the needs of the patient. Factors influencing the duration are the return of segmental neuromuscular control, mobility, muscular endurance and the adaptation rates of the segmental, and supporting tissues. Each patient s duration of treatment in the DBC Active Spine Care program is based on the time-course-of-adaptation required to reverse the extent and category of degeneration that has occurred. The extent of degeneration is measured by DBC s proprietary evaluation technology including the highly accurate (r=.90) and proprietary Spectral Analysis Electromyogram (SAEMG). First time acute patients may not need DBC at all. Sub-acute patients with 4 to 12 weeks of continued pain may require 6 weeks of treatment, 2 times per week. This is possible because actual tissues have not had time to significantly degenerate. Although neuro-motor control is quickly lost after an injury, these components also adapt quickly to properly controlled stimul
