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.

How to Manage Spondylosis Pain

Dr. Neha Narula, 5 years ago

Spondylosis is the gradual degeneration of bone that affects your spine. It is one of the most common forms of bone degeneration and normally affects middle-aged & older age groups.

Initially, the pain is mild which the patient manage with over-the-counter painkillers. But then their condition starts to get worse and interfere with their daily life. The patient starts to experience pain with walking, standing, sitting, back and neck movement, bending etc. While bone degeneration can’t be reversed the spine specialists work on strengthening the muscles of the affected area to reduce pain and improve the mobility of the patient.

“What we focus at is to help our patients regenerate their muscle strength to compensate for the loss of bone strength with our unique cellular repair technology. Our spine specialists are specially trained to identify the root cause of the problem. We have treated many cases where the condition of the patient improved significantly with our targeted and tailored spine rehabilitation programs”, says Dr.Neha Narula, Senior Spine Specialist, QI Spine Clinic.

What causes Spondylosis

Our bones start to weaken by regular wear and tear, as we grow old. Moreover, with ageing, the drying up of intervertebral discs happen and spinal joints are affected as bone spurs grow (osteophytes), which facilitates the frictionless movement of joints. As a result, we start experiencing pain and stiffness in the back and the neck. The condition is further accelerated by:

Sitting in the incorrect position
Injury in the spinal cord or partial dislocation of discs
Carrying heavy weights for over a period or lifting heavy weights on a regular basis
