Thoracic Denneroll

Lifting injuries, poor posture, and poor ergonomics can contribute to abnormal thoracic kyphosis, a condition that carries the risk of diminished nerve, ligament, and muscle function. Thoracic kyphosis can ultimately lead to health problems, back pain, and injury.

Along with traditional chiropractic care, the Thoracic Denneroll orthotic device provides the stretch needed to correct thoracic kyphosis. Designed by chiropractors, the Thoracic Denneroll’s shape is the result of Chiropractic BioPhysics’® evidence-based thoracic spine mode.

The Thoracic Denneroll orthotic is recommended for use by a patients who present with:

• Hyper-kyphosis, with or without posterior thoracic translation relative to the pelvis;
• Increased lower, mid, or upper thoracic kyphosis;
• Anterior head posture greater than approximately 25mm;
• Rounded-protracted shoulder girdle and scapular region.

 

 

Denneroll Placement

There are three types of Thoracic Corrective setups appropriate for DENNEROLL application: Lower thoracic, Mid-Thoracic, and Upper-Thoracic. See Figures 10-12 below. Only a radio-graphic and postural analysis can determine which Denneroll Placement is right for the individual patient. The DENNEROLL device should only be used on a firm surface such as the floor, or a bench so that an effective stretch can be applied to the Thoracic tissues.
