Have You Been Recommended Back Surgery?

Past Admins, 6 years ago

A landmark study published in the 2014 edition of the International Journal of Rehabilitation Research is set to change the way the 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 49 year old Mr. Arun Bakshi is an example that echoes the results of this study:

He had severe pain in the lower back and pain under the hip bone which radiated down his right leg. He was diagnosed with disc protrusion at L5-S1 (Slipped Disc) and grade I degenerative retrolisthesis at L4-L5. His life was restricted as he could not sit or stand for more than five minutes. All other activities including routine work, regular work-outs and yoga came to a standstill. He tried painkillers and conventional physiotherapy, however nothing helped. Based on MRI report findings, an orthopedic surgeon in the city recommended him to undergo a surgery. He then turned to the first spine specialist in India: Qi Spine Clinic for advice. 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 successfully adapted from some of the leading spine institutes in the world.

The tests conducted at Qi Spine Clinic revealed what no MRI or X-ray 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.

Mr. Bakshi says, “After the treatment sessions my pain in lower back and the pain under hip bone radiating down the leg have disappeared. I am back to routine work, regular work-outs and yoga without any hindrance; all because of the intense study of my case and customized treatment by the Qi Spine specialist”.

Dr Garima Anandani, Chief Spine Specialist at Qi Spine Clinic firmly states: “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 99% of back pain cases do not need surgery.”
