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.

Tips to avoid Back Pain during Festive Season

Past Admins, 5 years ago

Festivals often bring about a change in our daily routine. In general, our diet, sleeping pattern, and schedule changes. It is also probably one of the busiest times of the year where all the holiday shopping, cooking, get-togethers happen, and we travel to see friends. Whether you are a chronic back pain patient or someone without any back-pain symptoms, it is essential to exercise caution to prevent an aching back during this period. Attention to some simple tasks can make all the difference. Stay active The festive season comes with a lot of social commitments, which disrupts your daily fitness routine. Visiting relatives, travelling distances, involves sitting for long hours, which puts more pressure on our spine. Ensure that you stay active by sitting less and moving more. Always carry back support while travelling, if you experience back pain. Call, don’t text If you have a huge family and friends WhatsApp group, you are going to get flooded with your wishes. Try and limit your text usage to avoid pain in the neck . Pick up the phone, and talk to a loved one instead. Walk and talk is yet another way to stay active and your loved ones will surely appreciate the effort. Bend carefully and avoid carrying heavy shopping bags Festive chores like cleaning the house, making rangoli, shopping, packing gifts, and others, can involve frequent bending or carrying heavy loads. Bending from your back increases pressure on your spine. Practice bending from your knees and not your back. Simple changes such as lighting Diyas in the window panes instead of on the floor could help minimise bending. Avoid tight clothes and heavy jewellery Tight clothes can limit blood circulation to your spine. Heavy jewellery can put excess load on your neck. Opt for a minimalist look, and wear comfortable clothes to avoid unnecessary aches and pains. Avoid heels Pencil heels can put excess load on your spine. People with spine problems should avoid wearing heels. Avoid heels altogether or opt for wedges or platform heels as they provide more support to the spine compared to pencil heels.
