In over 85% of back pain cases the root cause of the problem lies
in your muscles. The bones, disc and nerves in your spine are protected by a
load bearing network of muscles. This network of muscles carry 70% of the
weight of your back, only 30% is borne by your bones. When your muscle tissue
is unable to support your back, your bones are forced to take additional load
and that’s where the problem begins.
Atul Chandiya was suffering
from back and neck pain for last ten years. He had stiffness and pain in his
neck and upper back which completely restricted his upper body movement. Over a
period of time the pain got worse and he was detected with a slipped disc (Disc
Bulge at L5-S1 with Sciatica), Lumbarisation and C3-C7 Osteophytes. He was not
able to sit for 20-30 minutes at a stretch and had sleepless nights. In these
years he visited leading orthopedics in the city, he was admitted in hospital
twice for four to five days, was given heavy dosage of pain killers and conventional
physiotherapy but there was no benefit.
Little did he know that
painkillers, bed rest and conventional physiotherapy do not work to reverse the
root cause of back pain. They give only temporary relief.
Highlighted in Box:
A slipped
disc or herniated disc is a condition of the spine which occurs when the outer
layer of the disc is ruptured and results in the gel inside to bulge and
protrude. Sciatica is a symptom of an underlying medical condition, such
as a lumbar
herniated disc, degenerative
disc disease, or spinal
stenosis. Sciatica is often characterized by one or a combination of the
following symptoms: Numbness, tingling or radiating pain down the legs along
with back pain.
Atul then visited India's
first speciality spine clinic, Qi Spine Clinic. Spine Specialists at Qi, prescribed
a spine muscle function test (DSA), to get a better diagnosis and assess his
muscular structure.
Digital Spine Analysis (DSA) is a revolutionary spine function
test for the diagnosis of back pain. It evaluates the strength, mobility and
balance elements of the muscles surrounding the spine. This methodology is now
being used in the world's leading spine institutes.
Conventional Imaging test
like the MRI and Xrays are used to examine the bones and joints in your spine,
they do not reveal whether your muscle tissue is able to do its function or
not. Due to this critical gap in diagnosis MRI and Xray’s are proven not to
work in the diagnosis of back pain. The DSA tells us which group of muscles is
weak and by what percentage. This enables us to target treatment precisely.
Atul’s DSA report results observed weaknesses in specific muscle
groups. After six weeks of targeted treatment his symptoms reversed, function
restored and he is now completely pain free.
Qi Spine Clinic has treated
over 17,000 patients with back ailments with a success rate of 91%.
Clinic Locations: Currently we have 19 clinics across India in Mumbai, Delhi & Pune
