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.

Piriformis Syndrome Treatment - QI Spine Clinic

In a rare condition the piriformis muscle compresses the Sciatic nerve, causing pain in the buttocks and lower limbs along the path of the Sciatic nerve.

The primary symptom is sciatica type pain in the buttock and the legs. Additional symptoms may involve,

Dull ache or pain in the buttock
Pain that increases when sitting for prolonged periods
Pain that affects just one side of the body
Pain that is relieved by walking with the foot on the affected side pointing outward
Pain that gets worse with physical activity
Tingling or numbness along the back of the leg

Professional diagnosis required
Chronic, can last for years
Treatable with 4 weeks of QI Spine Therapy

It is a neuromuscular disorder and can be caused by the following conditions.

Anatomical variations that place the piriformis muscle abnormally close to the sciatic nerve
Muscle swelling caused by overuse or strain
Muscle swelling caused by muscle spasms due to the pinching of the S1 nerve
Trauma such as a fall or the sudden twisting of the hip that injures the piriformis muscle
