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.

Back Pain In Children: Treatment, Causes & Symptoms

Back Pain among children: Diagnosis, Treatment & Cure at QI Spine Clinic

The symptoms of back pain in children can vary depending on the type of pain and the root cause of the problem. Some of the most common symptoms associated with back pain include:

Pain between the shoulder blades or in the lower back
Pain may be sharp or dull and it could be a constant ache or sudden twinges
Tingling or a pricking sensation on the skin
Visible swelling and tenderness
Pain in the lower back that radiates to the legs

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

Back pain in children is often due to injury and in most cases it is a temporary problem that can be resolved with a combination of adequate rest and low- intensity exercises. However, back pain in children can be caused by serious spinal problems such as:

Vertebral fractures
Spondylolysis/spondylolisthesis
Disk herniation
Bone infections such as osteomyelitis (generally in children who are under 10 years old)
Scoliosis and other congenital spine disorders
Systemic diseases such as sickle cell disease

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

Back pain in kids, especially persistent back pain, should not be ignored. Effective and timely treatment will ensure that the back pain doesn’t become chronic. Nevertheless, treatment with pain medications is best avoided, as they can impact a child’s growth and development. Instead, the precise cause of back pain should be identified, allowing for restorative therapy and strengthening treatments that not only eliminate pain, but also lower the risk of chronic back pain later in life.

Technologically Advanced Diagnostic Tools

QI Spine Clinic uses the most advanced diagnostic technology, Digital Spine Analysis (DSA), to measure spine function. Once the precise source of the pain is identified, our specialists formulate treatment plans using a variety of techniques like K-tapping and Mckenzie’s method. This helps to strengthen the muscles, limiting the risk of any excessive stress on the spine.

Individualized Treatment Protocols

QI customises every treatment protocol depending on the needs of each patient. These protocols are derived from an algorithm based on over 47,000 past cases; this ensures that child with back pain receives treatment that is best suited to his/her needs. Parents are also advised to make appropriate lifestyle modifications to improve their child’s posture as this will help to prevent back pain. In cases where back pain in children results from structural abnormalities like scoliosis, QI Spine specialists may also recommend Schroth exercises.

Back pain in children is usually non-threatening and can be easily resolved if addressed early. Ignoring the condition can also give rise to more debilitating and chronic back pain.
