At ProBack in London we believe the use of spinal orthotics, called dennerolls, are a key step in rehabilitation, one that can help prolong the effects of your treatment in the long term.
At our London clinic a special orthotic can be used when lying down on a solid surface, and is recommended for use in a specific area, to encourage a change in that part of the spine.
An orthotic can be used in treatment when your spine is not in the normal position. While you may not notice when your spine is out of alignment, the impact it has on your body shouldn’t be underestimated.
The easiest way to explain the effects is by using the example of a table. If a table has four legs, and one of those legs goes slightly out of place it will still function the way it should. However, a leg out of alignment in a table can make it more vulnerable to damage because of increased pressure on the other three legs. Bringing the spine back into a more natural, healthy position will reduce the amount of pressure on your spine, increasing the durability and sustainability, while also improving the way the body functions.
The use of our spinal orthotics is usually possible because of our extensive training and examination process.
Analysis of x-rays in your examination will allow us to see the exact positioning of your spine, and understand to what degree we think we’d be able to correct your spinal misalignment.
A spinal orthotic is a tool, used in a specific area, ideally every day, to introduce a change in the structure of the spine. When used correctly, it can put your spine into a healthier position, reducing the pressure on vulnerable areas and helping to improve its durability and longevity.
When used in the right way, a denneroll will increase the flexibility and durability of your spine, enhancing the results of treatment at home. Just like a retainer, a denneroll aims to extend the life of your spine by keeping it in the correct alignment.
Generally, you will be instructed how to use a spinal orthotic in the corrective phases of care in your treatment plan. Depending on your condition, this can be after around 12-24 sessions.
During your initial examination with us we may take x-rays that show us the exact position and state of your spine. From there, we will be able to detect alignments that are already causing problems, or that are likely to cause problems in the future. By fixing these as soon as possible, we can prolong the condition of your spine.
It’s extremely important when introducing a denneroll into a treatment plan, that we are able to monitor your usage in the clinic before being allowed to take one home. Orthotics are effective at introducing changes into the spine, and when used in the right way this will produce positive changes, but if used in the incorrect position can cause the change to occur in the wrong place.
