  • Pain and/or swelling of one or more joints

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

  • A neck injury incurred in the past
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Microfractures caused by osteoporosis
  • Infectious diseases, such as brucellosis that affect the vertebrae
  • Professional diagnosis required

How QI Spine Clinic can help you

Conventional spondylitis treatments focus mainly on pain medications which only manage the symptoms of the condition but do not address the root cause of the problem.

QI Spine Clinic uses some of the most technologically advanced diagnostic and treatment methods to reduce pain and help patients manage spondylitis so that they can lead healthy productive lives.

Digital Diagnostic Testing

Spondylitis affects the structures of the spine and typically causes a 'hunched forward' posture. This places a great deal of stress on the muscles that support the spine.

QI Spine Clinic uses the most advanced spine function test - the Digital Spine Analysis (DSA) to pinpoint muscles and structures that have been affected by spondylitis. This allows QI spine specialists to create targeted treatment protocols to strengthen these muscles which reduces pain and improves muscle function and mobility.

Individualized Treatment Protocols

Treatment protocols are unique to each patient depending on how the condition has affected them - this allows spine specialists to provide the best spondylitis treatment for each patient, depending on their individual requirements. QI's treatment plans for spondylitis focus on 4 phases - diagnosis, isolation, reverse 1, and reverse 2.

After the initial diagnosis and pain management, our spine specialists will use isolation movements and neurodynamics to help decrease pain. The reverse 1 stage involves core activation to strengthen the targeted muscles while the reverse 2 stage increases the intensity of these medical movements to reduce and even prevent pain recurrence.

It is important to consult a spine specialist as soon as possible to manage spondylitis and reduce your pain so you can lead a full and productive life.
