DBC: a leader in spine care
Rather than emphasize rapid business growth, the management at DBC has devoted company resources to extensive
research and development of technology, documented treatment protocols, and a strict DBC certification program.
DBC America "has the self-discipline to be an inch wide and a mile deep before becoming wider."
Many of the evaluation procedures, treatments and equipment devices are exclusive to DBC or patented, and treatment
is only available with a physician's prescription. By addressing the root problems rather than just repeatedly
treating the symptoms of recurring episodes, DBC has created a program of significant long-term value.
The vast majority of DBC-appropriate patients succeed and move on with more enjoyable, productive lives after the
DBC program. In fact, even most people who have been unsuccessful in other treatment programs benefit from DBC.
DBC is dedicated to continuing its responsibility as a leader in spine care.
Medical Ethics: Because 90% of those suffering from a first occurrence of spine pain will heal without clinical intervention1, health care providers should responsibly and clearly
determine who would and would not benefit from their treatments.
DBC researchers were awarded the prestigious VOLVO® Award for a study that indicated which persons had the potential to recover without DBC intervention2. DBC's program, built through years of scientific research, has the objective intervention criteria to avoid over-utilization.
how DBC works
DBC documents relevant scientific parameters to see where a patient is and needs to be. Using the referring physician's diagnosis, the detailed DBC evaluation and documented outcome-based treatment pathways, the DBC clinician customizes the treatment program. Treatment reverses the deconditioning process and actively involves the patient in his or her own recovery. Short and long-term results are truly impressive.
Solutions for the Spine Care Community:
Physicians: DBC (Documentation Based Care) abides by
and has built its reputation upon the strict standards of
Evidence Based Medicine, so physicians can trust DBC as
the accepted standard-of-care for spine patients. DBC
increases the efficiency of the patient/physician interaction,
provides objective documentation for diagnoses and
informed referrals, and demonstrates accountability with
precise reports on patient progress. DBC serves as due diligence
for physicians and patients considering surgery and
improves post-surgical outcomes.
Patients: Best intentions mean little to patients who continue
to suffer from the multiple effects of back/neck problems.
DBC (Documentation Based Care) is founded in science,
proven through real-world clinical trials and applied
only by certified clinicians. DBC has helped over 83% of
those with severe back/neck problems, even if they have
failed in other programs3. Studies have also shown that DBC
patients continued to improve even after treatment and
reported no more pain and or functional limitations than
the general population4. DBC's mission is to provide solutions
to patients' back/neck pain.
Payers: DBC's evaluations and testing procedures assure
that the payer receives value from a cost-effective, accountable
program. Objective criteria and valid science are used
to determine the strategy of care, to monitor progress and to
document Maximum Medical Improvement, and payers
receive clear reports on which to base decisions. Treatment
time is predictable, and outcomes -- both short and long-term -- for appropriate patients are excellent.
Employers: Employers' health care needs extend beyond
just making patients well. They also need to be informed as
to whether claims are genuine, when employees will return
to work, and how much employees can work. DBC's stay-at-
work philosophy is compatible with employers' needs.
Objective evaluations and progress checks ensure that
employees are getting the care they deserve and that
employers are comfortable with the process3.
