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.

Everyday Tips

Are back problems affecting your daily life?

QI Spine Clinic, 2 years ago

Back pain can impact your quality of life in a lot of ways. It can be a debilitating condition that affects nearly everyone at some point in their lives. Whether you are young or old, active or sedentary, back pain can strike unexpectedly and hinder your everyday life.

From limiting your ability to perform simple daily tasks, chronic back pain can also interfere with your ability to work, exercise, and engage in recreational activities. It can also disrupt your sleep patterns and cause discomfort, which can further contribute to the development of other health conditions.

Moreover, chronic back pain can have a significant impact on an individual’s mental health, leading to anxiety, depression, and social isolation. People who suffer from chronic lower back pain may also find it difficult to perform activities such as sitting for prolonged periods, walking, lifting or even standing for short periods. This can significantly impact an individual’s ability to work, as many jobs require long periods of sitting or standing.

The severity of pain can vary from a dull ache to excruciating pain that can be difficult to endure. It can be a major hindrance to your day-to-day routine, and ignoring it will only lead to serious consequences. Understanding the symptoms and getting the right diagnosis and treatment at the right time can help you better manage your back problems.

In this blog, we will discuss how back pain affects life, its symptoms, causes, and treatment options.

Some of the symptoms include stiffness, limited mobility, muscle spasms, tingling, numbness, and pain that radiates down your legs or to other areas of the body.

Back pain may be either persistent or intermittent and can be attributed to a variety of underlying issues. Some of the most common causes include poor posture, muscle strain, and spinal injuries. Furthermore, heavy lifting or sudden, unexpected movements can cause lower back pain due to the strain on the back muscles.

Spinal conditions including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, arthritis, scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, and osteoporosis can also cause back pain. Additionally, lifestyle factors such as obesity, lack of exercise, and smoking can further contribute to chronic back pain. It is important to seek medical help if the pain persists or worsens over time.

Non-surgical treatments can help relieve pain in many cases. However, surgery can be recommended if non-surgical back pain treatments have not been successful or if the pain is caused by a structural problem.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a healthy diet, proper posture, and good sleep hygiene, can help prevent spine problems and back pain. Using proper lifting techniques and avoiding activities that place excessive strain on the back is also important to avoid pain.

Suffering from chronic back pain can take its toll on your day-to-day life. If you’re dealing with acute back pain, it’s important to consult a doctor and get the necessary diagnosis and treatment to help you manage the pain. With timely diagnosis and treatment, most cases of back pain can be successfully treated, helping you to restore your normal activities and improve your overall health.
