It is shocking but true that in most chronic back pain cases, the cause of pain
goes undiagnosed for years. Most people proceed to use hot or cold packs, apply
ointments, or go to the doctor if nothing helps. Often, the doctor calls for an
X-ray or MRI.
Most spine
disorders are caused by weaknesses and imbalances in spinal
musculature which are not identified by an X-ray or MRI. In fact, 85% of
all back pain cases are actually labeled non-specific back pain.
45-year-old Jitin Shah
was suffering from severe back pain and numbness in hands and feet. The
condition did not allow him to sit or walk beyond fifteen minutes. Three spinal
surgeries at L5-S1, C3-C4 and C2-C3 to relieve the pressure on his spinal
nerves hadn’t helped. Dejected, Jitin accepted that back and leg pain would be
a part of his life.
Jitin’s surgeon
suggested that he meet doctors at Qi Spine Clinic. 75% of the body's weight is
borne by muscles. To locate the cause of back pain, the spine muscles need to
be studied. At Qi Spine Clinic, he underwent a spine function test, the DSA. The
accurate diagnosis led to a non-invasive muscle regeneration treatment program,
where the weaker muscles were specifically targeted.
Within a couple of
weeks he was no longer in pain and there was no numbness in his hands and feet due to back pain treatment.
He was relieved of the restrictions and curbs he had imposed upon himself. The
cause of back pain in over 85% of cases is muscular in nature and incomplete
diagnosis without testing the musculature has led to prolonged symptoms which
can now be avoided. Accurate diagnosis is essential for precise treatment.
