The DBS rail is fitted to the Vertetrac to treat scoliosis

The D.B.S. (Dynamic Brace System) is a patented system used for the treatment of idiopathic juvenile, adolescent and adult scoliosis.

Spinal curvature should not be diagnosed as scoliosis unless the curvature exceeds 10 degrees. Only curves greater than 10 degrees with structured changes including rotation should be diagnosed as idiopathic scoliosis.  The curve progression should be considered only with a minimum increase of 5 degrees on two sequential X-rays.

Initially, the treatment with the D.B.S. is the same as with the Vertetrac.

In patients with curvatures of less than 20 degrees, we apply the D.B.S. treatment only when the patient suffers from continued lower-back pain. The treatment is recommended for 30 minutes once a day until the elimination of the pain (about 15 to 20 treatments). The control x-ray should be taken after 6 months.

In patients with a curve greater than 20 degrees when the scoliosis is progressive, daily treatments of 30 minutes with D.B.S. should be administered until the maturity of the child is reached. The traction power of 10 - 20 kg. applied from each side should be determined individually and according to the age and the constitution of each patient.

In patients with curvatures between 20 – 30 degrees, who have no pain or other complaints but have a tendency for progression we recommend treatment with the D.B.S. for 30 minutes, 2 or 3 times daily until maturity is reached and the patient remains under control for 2-3 years.

In patients with curvatures of 30-40 degrees and more, the treatment with the D.B.S. is started immediately for 30 minutes, 3 times per day. Once maturity is reached, 1 or 2 half-hour treatments should be continued for a period of six months.

X-rays should be taken every 3 months to follow-up and a discovery of a scoliosis progression greater than 5 degrees requires a resumption of 30-minute treatments 3 times a week until scoliosis progression is halted and stability of situation is confirmed by 2 consecutive spinal x-ray.
