What is QI Back & Spine Clinic?

QI Back & Spine Clinic is a team of medical professionals who are dedicated to diagnosing & treating severe, chronic or acute back and spine conditions by non-surgical methods. Diagnosing the root cause of back and spine conditions is always the first step in medicine. We use a multi-disciplinary approach to accurately diagnose the cause of back pain because the more accurate the diagnosis, the more precise the treatment. We believe that it is essential to reverse the underlying cause of back pain and not just temporarily suppress the symptoms.

How do you diagnose the root cause of back pain?

An accurate diagnosis is critical as 85% of back pain cases are termed ‘non-specific’. Your back pain can be due to a neurological, systemic, structural or mechanical dysfunction. We are amongst the first to use a diagnostic approach that covers all these aspects. We use non-invasive technology that isolates the spinal structure. The controlled guided movements test and measure the strength and mobility of the spine. We can therefore identify the root cause of your back pain and prescribe further course of treatment.

What technology do you use? Is it non-invasive?

The machines we use are non-invasive biofeedback devices. They hold and support your body in fixed positions and then measure your functional ability during movements. They allow us to get a clear understanding of your spinal muscle tissue.

Who are QI spine specialists?

Our spine specialists are doctors with a specialisation in spinal disorders post a 4-year clinical degree in physical medicine or physiotherapy. They are specialists in the prescription of mechanical medical movements. Their expertise is dedicated to the reversal of spinal disorders and to promote mobility & function.

Osteoporosis Treatment: Therapy, Symptoms & Causes

Due to the slowing down of bone cell generation, bones become brittle and break easily with minimum impact. This condition is called osteoporosis and affects 29% women between the ages of 30 and 60. There is a chance that osteoporosis goes undetected until a fracture occurs. However, it could be osteoporosis if you experience:

Sudden back pain, which gets worse when standing up.
Widespread pain in back and joints
Back pain that gets relieved when lying down.
Pain while twisting and bending.
Tiredness and stiffness
Posture changes in the back and along the spine.

Professional diagnosis required
Chronic, can last for years
Treatable with 12 weeks of QI Spine Therapy

Osteoporosis is caused by:

Aging: Most patients are 30-60 years old.
Heredity: A person is prone to osteoporosis if the condition is present in family history.
Gender: Women are more affected than men.
Race: Caucasian and Asian women are more prone to osteoporosis.
Low body weight/bone mass weight: Shorter people are at greater risk of osteoporosis.
Low sex hormones: Post-menopausal women are more affected.
Smoking/consuming tobacco:Smoking accelerates the symptoms and decreases bone density.
Deficiency in Vitamin D or Calcium: The lack of essential minerals decreases bone mass, making it more susceptible to the condition.

There is no cure for osteoporosis, only active self-care and lifestyle management can help improve a patients condition. It can be controlled by:

Isolation Treatment: We work on strengthening the extensor muscles in the affected area, providing immediate pain relief and preventing further degeneration. This is a long-lasting solution.
Making lifestyle changes.
Eating healthy and consuming calcium supplements.
Managing one’s weight.
Increased exposure to the sun.
