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

How does a healthy spine support a better quality of life?

QI Spine Clinic, 2 years ago

A healthy spine is essential to living a pain-free life. Did you know that spine pain, especially lower back pain, and neck pain, is one of the most common health concerns in the world? It is therefore crucial to maintain the health of your spine to avoid future complications.

Let’s take a closer look at the importance of a healthy spine, why it’s so important, and tips for maintaining a healthy spine.

Our spine is the backbone of our body, supporting our weight and enabling us to move freely. A healthy spine ensures better mobility, flexibility, and balance, allowing us to live life to the fullest. However, an unhealthy spine can lead to chronic back pain, that can significantly impact our daily routine and overall well-being.

Back pain is not just a physical problem – it can also affect our mental health, leading to anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. Keeping your spine strong, healthy, and pain-free can help you live with ease.

Why is it important to take care of your spine?

A healthy spine is essential for performing everyday tasks such as sitting, standing, bending over, picking up objects, walking, twisting, and moving your neck.

It is responsible for numerous bodily functions, and any damage to it can have a serious impact on your mobility and overall well-being.

Your spine performs three crucial functions: protecting the spinal cord and associated nerve roots, providing structural support and balance to maintain an upright posture, and allowing for flexible movement.

The nervous system uses the spine to transmit electrical impulses, enabling sensations like pressure, touch, cold, warmth, pain, and other sensations in the skin, muscles, joints, and internal organs. Damage to the spinal cord can interfere with neural responses, leading to a loss of sensation in certain parts of the body.

Ignoring chronic back pain can lead to severe repercussions and prove debilitating in the long run. It is therefore essential to address the symptoms and take the necessary measures. If you suffer from back pain that does not solve by itself, it is crucial to consult a spine specialist and get an accurate diagnosis. Understanding the main cause and getting precise treatment can help target the problem areas and alleviate the pain.

QI Spine’s proprietary Digital Spine Analysis is a spine function test that helps pinpoint the weak areas of the spine along with cell repair technology which utilizes frequency-specific microcurrents (FSM) to reduce back pain non-invasively.

The holistic approach involves treating the root cause of pain and preventing recurrence by strengthening the weak muscles around the spine and improving your range of motion, flexibility, and balance.

A healthy spine not only supports the physical aspects of our body but also contributes to our emotional and mental well-being, providing us with an enhanced quality of life. By following tips for maintaining spine health, you can prevent back pain and future injuries. Your back is a powerful machine that carries the load of your body and keeps you upright, so it’s crucial to treat it with care.

Tips for maintaining spine health –

Exercise regularly – Exercise is one of the best ways to keep your spine healthy. Engage in physical activities that promote flexibility, strength, and endurance.

Maintain good posture – Poor posture puts extra strain on your spine and can lead to back pain. Be mindful of your daily routine and posture while sitting, standing, walking, or bending.

Lift properly – Lifting heavy objects incorrectly or sudden movements can take a toll on your back and is a common cause of back pain. This can put unnecessary pressure on your spine causing muscle strain or ligament sprain. To avoid it ensure you bend your knees and keep your back straight while lifting.

Avoid prolonged sitting – Sitting for long periods can put pressure on your spine and lead to lower back pain. Especially for those with a desk job, it’s important to take frequent posture breaks, avoid slouching, and include stretching exercises on a regular basis.
