A landmark study published in the 2014 edition of the International Journal of Rehabilitation Research is set to change the way medical fraternity treats severe spine dysfunction. The study included data on chronic low back pain patients who participated in four randomized-controlled trials over 23 years and concluded that there was no benefit of lumbar fusion surgery over conservative treatment.
The case of 45 years old Suraj Shroff is an example that mirrors the results of this study. He underwent three surgeries that failed to cure him. He had severe pain, numbness in both feet, muscle spasms in his legs and was diagnosed with Disc Prolapse at L3- L4 & L4- L5. He was advised to undergo one more spine surgery leaving him distraught & shattered. He learnt the hard way that surgery and medication can only suppress or correct the symptom; they do not reverse the fundamental cause of the problem. He turned to Specialist of Spine in India: Qi Spine Clinic. They introduced him to the revolutionary world of advanced spine treatment for back pain. Qi Spine Clinic’s evidence based medical treatment protocols have been adopted from some of the leading spine institutes in the world with great success.
The tests conducted at Qi Spine revealed what no MRI or XRay had shown him so far: it highlighted the lack of muscular (mechanical) strength in his spine and allowed for the doctor to isolate and target treatment very precisely with the use of their unique technology. Suraj says, “After the treatment sessions my pain, cramps, numbness in hands and feet have disappeared. I am back to morning brisk walks without any hindrance all because of the intense study of my case and customized treatment by their spine specialist”.
A team of researchers at the Qi Spine Research Academy have been developing this precise methodology for Spine Treatment for 7 years now and have successfully treated over 15,000 patients. Dr Garima Anandani, Chief Spine Specialist at Qi Spine Clinic says, “It is now beyond doubt that conservative medical treatment that reverses the root cause of pain must be the first line of care for those with back pain especially when statistics show that only 1% will ever need surgery.”
