Back pain treatment in Dubai.
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people see a chiropractor. Most of it is mechanical: it comes from joints, muscles and discs under strain rather than from serious disease, and it usually improves with the right care and the right kind of movement.

What it can feel like.
- A dull ache across the low back, sometimes on one side
- Sharp pain when bending, lifting or getting out of a chair
- Stiffness first thing in the morning or after sitting
- Pain that spreads into the buttock or hip
Common causes.
- Long hours sitting at a desk or driving
- A lifting or twisting strain
- Weak or tired core and hip muscles
- Disc irritation
- Changes after pregnancy or an old injury
How I can help.
- A full assessment to find where the pain is coming from, including orthopaedic and neurological tests
- Diversified adjustments to restore movement in stiff joints of the lower back and pelvis
- Soft-tissue work to ease muscle spasm
- Exercises and practical advice for sitting, lifting and sleeping
- A referral for imaging or to a specialist if anything suggests you need one
I mainly use the Diversified technique: precise, hands-on adjustments that restore movement to stiff joints. Low-force instruments and soft-tissue work are always available if you prefer a gentler approach.
When to see a doctor urgently.
Please call 998 for an ambulance or go to the nearest emergency department, or see a doctor the same day, if you have:
- Numbness around the groin, inner thighs or back passage
- New problems controlling your bladder or bowel
- Weakness in a leg that is getting worse
- Back pain with a fever or feeling generally unwell
- Unexplained weight loss, or a history of cancer
- Severe pain after a fall or accident
Watch me explain.
Questions people ask.
For most people, staying gently active helps more than bed rest. Walk, keep to your normal routine as much as you can, and avoid long periods in one position. I will show you which movements help your back and which to ease off for now.
Usually not. Scans are most useful when there are warning signs or when pain is not improving as expected. If your assessment suggests you need imaging, I will refer you.
It varies from person to person. We review your progress at every visit, and you will always know what the plan is and why.
