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.

Spine Cell Repair Technology

Past Admins, 5 years ago

Every cell in your body has an electrical potential that is necessary for healthy body functions. This electrical potential of the tissues gets disrupted due to injury or disease. Cell Repair Technology restores the electrical frequency that encourages healing of the injured tissues.

At the cellular level, microcurrent therapy causes a dramatic increase in ATP, the energy that fuels all biochemical functions in the body. The result is improved blood flow and decrease in inflammation which helps in reducing pain and muscle spasm and improves the restricted movement of the body.

How does it work?

Benefits:

Improved circulation and dilated blood vessels.
An increased amount of red blood cells.
Nerve repair and healing without scar tissue.
Stimulating lymph circulation.
Elimination of wastes and toxins.
Improved circulation and nutrition to joints.
Damaged cells reject the body’s current because they are swollen, but microcurrent reintroduces current and restores the functions in said cells.
Unlike TENS, the treatment cannot be felt and is stimulating healing in the body instead of simply blocking the pain.

How does it work?

Whenever there is tissue trauma or dysfunction, there is a decrease in ATP and disruption of the sodium pump. The cells increase their electrical resistance and the injured area will have a higher electrical resistance than the surrounding tissue. This decreases electrical conductance through the injured area and decreases the cellular capacitance, leading to impairment of the healing process and inflammation. The cells become less able to receive nutritional input, water, minerals, etc. nor are they as able to remove toxins. Working at the cellular level:

Cause migration of epithelial cells and fibroblasts into a wound site Increase ATP (adenosine triphosphate) concentrations in tissues Increase protein and DNA synthesis Promote healing of soft tissues or ulcers Accelerate the recovery of damaged neural tissue Reduce oedema, and Inhibit the growth of various pathogens.

PREVIOUS NOTES:

What is a pain: It is the body’s internal alarm system that informs us of a problem. It normally happens when cells are damaged. No two types of pain are the same and so depending on the type of pain, a doctor prescribes a pain killer. A pain killer can only numb the senses but does not heal the damaged cells. Most pain killers work on the sensory part in our brain so that we don’t feel it BUT the damage is still occurring – WE MUST NOT ignore pain, we must listen to it and precisely treat the cells at the local point where the pain is starting from.

The cells are built to healing themselves and that process is started by the body automatically. The process is a slow one so while they heal, we will still experience pain. The pain killer is only used to make us numb while this healing is happening. The problem is that the pain killer is a chemical and it leaves behind a residue like ash after a cigarette, which goes and sits on our kidneys and liver – this is why so many published studies show the damages of these painkillers. They MUST be avoided at ALL costs.

Our focus is not to numb the body but to understand what type of damage has happened and then WHY it happened? What caused this damage? When this damage happens, the cell gets weaker. It produces less ATP which means it cannot work normally, its energy level is very low. Every single pain is unique and different like a fingerprint, which is why you are given different dosages or different strength of the medication.

FSMT or Frequency Specific Microcurrent Therapy is the practice of introducing a mild electrical current into an area of damaged soft tissue. Research has proved that the very low and weak current at the specific frequency of your pain enhances the healing process underway in that same tissue. The mild micro-amperage current has been shown to increase ATP production by 500% in cells.

You will notice a softening of the tissue which will help increase blood supply and healing. This “Non-Pharmacologic / Non-Drug Pain Treatment using Frequency Specific Microcurrent” has proven to work in 8/10 cases after the adequate energy has been delivered which can be between 2 to 4 hours in total, over consecutive days.

There has been NO side effect reported in 30 years of research of these mild levels of energy. This Machine at QI has been developed by our own QI Spine Research Academy, especially for back pain conditions, after studying and understanding the unique types of pain that happen in the spine. We have developed our own frequencies for back pain cases and so this is only available at QI Spine Clinic.

Results can be fast: after 30 minutes but can take up to 4 hours of total therapy. Just like you are given a dosage of drugs that you must take every four hours for a few days, this also has a dosage that must be delivered every day till we see the cell work normally and your pain goes away. Once that happens we must treat the underlying cause so the cell does not get damaged again. What damaged the cell in the first place?
