Dubai Bone & Joint Center - Back & Neck Surgery

Our physicians that perform spine surgery have particular expertise in the operating room. If it is at all possible, they will offer non-surgical solutions. If surgery is the right solution, the Dubai Bone and Joint Center physicians have the training and skill you can trust.

Taking care of an injured or painful spine is more than making a diagnosis. It is the skilled, hands-on evaluation and appropriate diagnostic testing that determines the best overall plan of care; remembering of course, that we are not just treating back pain, but a human being.

While certain diseases and traumatic injury can cause back pain, research shows that many common causes of back pain in fact may be related to poor physical condition, poor posture, improper body mechanics, or the prolonged repetitive use of incorrect bending and lifting techniques. At the Dubai Bone and Joint Center, preventing and providing relief for back pain and spinal disorders is one of our specialties.

We apply our clinical expertise to establish an accurate diagnosis quickly and develop a plan of care that fits the needs of each patient suffering from a spinal injury. It is our practice to exhaust every appropriate treatment option before considering surgery. However, when a problem is not corrected with prescribed rest, exercise conditioning programs or physiotherapy, further diagnostic testing may be employed to precisely identify the key factors causing the patient's discomfort. If a surgical procedure becomes the right choice, our team of specialists is trained and skilled to effectively correct the problem.
