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.

New Research On Slipped Disc Cases Reveals Surgery Is Not The Answer

Past Admins, 6 years ago

Back pain today is one of the most common medical problems, affecting 8 out of 10 people at some point during their lives. Intensive research on back pain treatment has led to new Guidelines in Europe. Of the many recommendations the most significant one states that Surgery is not to be prescribed as the first line of treatment. Another alarming recommendation is that the prescription of MRI & X-rays is not advised as long term results have shown that these imaging tests identify the cause of back pain only in only 15% of cases.

Evidence now shows that surgery does not offer better results in relief from pain, disability or enhance quality of life when compared to precise conservative targeted treatment. Over 40% of surgeries in the spine need to be repeated within 10 years.

Slipped Disc Cases Getting Younger And More Acute

Slipped discs are getting most common in those aged 25 to 45 because the disc is still soft in the middle (as we age it dries and stiffens, and so doesn’t bulge out as easily).

The case of 32 year Aman Verma is an example of why such changes in guidelines around the world are essential. At the young age of 27 he suffered a slipped disc and had pain radiating down both his legs. He was advised to meet a senior orthopedic doctor who recommended traction and bed rest for 2 months. In severe pain and unable to use a wash room he then visited a neurologist who prescribed an epidural injection despite which the pain still persisted. He had decided against surgery which was prescribed as it came with no promises of complete recovery from his pain and limited mobility. He decided to accept his condition and live his life with this disability. His orthopedic doctor then recommended a more specialized slip disc treatment in Mumbai offered at the Qi Spine Clinic.

Aman is back on his feet today, running and engaged in an active lifestyle after a full day at work. Over 90% of herniated disc or disc bulge cases are caused by inadequate muscular support in that region. The load bearing capacity of muscles once compromised leads to a slow deterioration process and unless these muscles are identified and targeted precisely the problem will reoccur.

Qi Spine Clinic, a renowned spine clinic in India was created by a dedicated team committed to spinal disorder rehabilitation. With a success rate of 91%, their use of advanced technology and unique protocols that isolate and identify weaknesses has helped over 15,000 patients with spine conditions. The Clinic is focused on the treatment of the root cause of the problem as treating the symptom will lead to the problem resurfacing more intensely.
