Spine surgery was his only option, till a revolutionary new approach gave him hope

Spine surgery was his only option, till a revolutionary new approach gave him hope

Dr. Neha Narula, 5 years ago

Rajesh Kapoor (name changed), 67, suffered from severe lower back pain for the past 6 years. It radiated to his waistline, right thigh and leg. This rendered him unable to walk even a few steps. There was no respite even after taking medicines for 6 months. His condition was getting worse gradually and he could not stand, drive or sit for more than 10 minutes. MRI revealed nerve compression at L1-L4 which caused numbness, tingling and a feeling of weakness in his legs.

“I was advised to go for surgery immediately. The surgery was unsuccessful and my problem remained as it was. Upon further investigation, I was advised a second surgery”, says Rajesh.

The first surgery had left Rajesh very weak due to loss in weight and increasing pain. He was very scared at the prospect of a second surgery and decided against it. Meanwhile, his daughter Priya came to know about Spine Rehabilitation at QI Spine Clinic, where her colleague had got treated for her back pain. She insisted that her father go for a visit. Rajesh read about the precise new treatment system administered by the specialised Spine Physiotherapists at QI Spine Clinic and how it has helped even the toughest of back pain cases.

“Their technique of treatment was different from what I had undergone earlier and so I booked an appointment immediately”, says Rajesh. At the clinic, doctors did a thorough evaluation of his condition. They did a Digital Spine Analysis (DSA) using revolutionary new devices that revealed the deficiencies of the muscles in his spine.

Studies show that 85% of back pain originates in muscle tissue, not bones. MRIs or X-rays do not identify the root cause of the problem. The Digital Spine Analysis, by testing the spine’s functionality, pinpoints for the specialist the precise cause of back pain in an individual. Approximately 70% of the body’s weight is taken by muscle tissue and 30% by bones. If the muscle tissue is weak and cannot take this load, then it gets transferred to the bones, and that’s where the pain starts. In Rajesh’s case, he had inadequate support and deficiencies in the load-bearing layers of his muscles.

Rajesh didn’t require surgery or medication. He underwent a specific isolation and precision treatment program. QI Spine Clinic’s advanced pain-healing technology and treatment for long-term restoration of the spine helped him avoid the 2nd spine surgery. “My back and leg pain vanished. I can now walk, drive and sit comfortably for longer durations,” he said happily. His mobility has been restored and he lives a pain-free life.

Recent research has shown that surgery is required in less than 5% cases. The Spine Rehabilitation method prescribed by the specialised Spine Physiotherapists at QI Spine Clinic is medically proven to be more effective than conventional physiotherapy.

The treatment plan for each patient is derived from an algorithm based on his or her specific condition. QI Spine Clinic, with its revolutionary technology have consulted over 50,000+ patients and helped over 7100+ others to avoid surgery.
