A landmark study published in the
2014 edition of the International Journal of Rehabilitation Research is set to
change the way medical fraternity treats severe spine dysfunction. The study
included data on chronic low back pain patients who participated in four
randomized-controlled trials over 23 years and concluded that there was no
benefit of lumbar fusion surgery over conservative treatment.
The case of 45 years old Suraj
Shroff is an example that mirrors the results of this study. He underwent three
surgeries that failed to cure him. He had severe pain, numbness in both feet,
muscle spasms in his legs and was diagnosed with Disc Prolapse at L3- L4 &
L4- L5. He was advised to undergo one more spine surgery leaving him distraught
& shattered. He learnt the hard way that surgery and medication can only
suppress or correct the symptom; they do not reverse the fundamental cause of
the problem. He turned to Specialist of Spine in India: Qi Spine Clinic.
They introduced him to the revolutionary world of advanced spine treatment for
back pain. Qi Spine Clinic’s evidence based medical treatment protocols have
been adopted from some of the leading spine institutes in the world with great
success.
The tests conducted at Qi Spine
revealed what no MRI or XRay had shown him so far: it highlighted the lack of
muscular (mechanical) strength in his spine and allowed for the doctor to
isolate and target treatment very precisely with the use of their unique
technology. Suraj says, “After the treatment sessions my pain, cramps,
numbness in hands and feet have disappeared. I am back to morning brisk walks
without any hindrance all because of the intense study of my case and
customized treatment by their spine specialist”.
A team of researchers at the Qi
Spine Research Academy have been developing this precise methodology for Spine
Treatment for 7 years now and have successfully treated over 15,000 patients.
Dr Garima Anandani, Chief Spine Specialist at Qi Spine Clinic says, “It is now beyond
doubt that conservative medical treatment that reverses the root cause of pain
must be the first line of care for those with back pain especially when
statistics show that only 1% will ever need surgery.”
