Orthopedics is the branch of medicine that focuses on the musculoskeletal system—bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. From minor sprains to complex joint disorders, orthopedic care plays a crucial role in maintaining mobility, reducing pain, and enhancing quality of life at any age.
At Westminster Ortho Med Clinic, located in Dubai Healthcare City, we offer a patient-centric, specialist-led approach to diagnosing and treating a wide range of orthopedic conditions. Our highly qualified consultants, including Dr. Khaled Mohamed and Dr. Ishrat Azam Khan, bring years of international experience and surgical expertise to support each patient’s journey to recovery.
In this guide, we simplify the complex world of orthopedics with an A–Z breakdown of the most common issues and their treatment options—designed to help you understand what your body may be telling you and how expert care can make all the difference.
A – Arthritis Management
Arthritis, particularly osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, is among the most common orthopedic concerns. It can affect any joint but often targets the knees, hips, and hands, causing stiffness, swelling, and pain that worsens with time.
At Westminster Ortho Med Clinic – Dubai, arthritis is managed with a combination of medications, physical therapy, joint injections, and in advanced cases, joint replacement surgery. With early diagnosis and a personalized plan, patients can enjoy improved joint function and pain relief.
B – Bone Fractures & Trauma
Bone fractures can range from simple breaks to complex trauma caused by falls, accidents, or high-impact sports. Proper treatment is essential to ensure bones heal correctly and function is fully restored.
Under the expert care of orthopedic consultants like Dr. Ishrat Khan, patients receive comprehensive trauma services including casting, surgical intervention, and rehabilitation planning. Our team also specializes in post-traumatic care to promote faster healing and long-term mobility.
C – Congenital Deformities (Paediatrics)
Children may be born with or develop orthopedic conditions such as clubfoot, flat feet, or knock knees. Early intervention is vital to prevent lifelong complications.
Our pediatric orthopedic care includes non-surgical approaches like bracing and the Ponseti method, as well as surgical correction when needed. We ensure each child receives specialized attention in a supportive environment tailored to young patients and their families.
D – Degenerative Joint Disease
Degenerative conditions, such as osteoarthritis, gradually wear down cartilage in the joints—commonly affecting the hips, knees, and shoulders. Symptoms include chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
At Westminster Ortho Med Clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, patients are offered advanced treatments, from joint preservation strategies to total joint replacement. Our orthopedic surgeons carefully assess each case to determine if reconstruction or replacement is the best course for lasting relief.
E – Elbow & Shoulder Pain
Pain in the elbow and shoulder can stem from overuse, injury, or inflammation—conditions like tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, or rotator cuff tears are common.
Treatment may include physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, and in severe cases, arthroscopic surgery to restore function and reduce pain. Our consultants tailor care plans to the individual’s lifestyle and level of activity.
F – Foot and Ankle Disorders
From plantar fasciitis to ankle sprains and foot deformities, the lower extremities bear much of the body’s weight and are prone to wear and injury.
Westminster Ortho Med Clinic’s specialized foot clinic addresses congenital and acquired deformities, while our Diabetic Foot Care program focuses on prevention and treatment of complications linked to diabetes. Our goal is to help patients stay active and pain-free.
G – General Orthopedic Non-Surgical Care
Not every orthopedic condition requires surgery. For neck pain, back issues, or joint discomfort, non-surgical care remains the first line of treatment.
We offer pain management solutions, rehabilitation plans, and lifestyle guidance tailored to each individual. This conservative approach helps many patients recover without the need for invasive procedures.
H – Herniated Discs & Sciatica
A herniated disc can press on nearby nerves, leading to sciatica, which causes radiating pain from the lower back to the leg. Common causes include age-related degeneration and improper lifting techniques.
Treatment ranges from physical therapy and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy to minimally invasive spine procedures. At Westminster Ortho Med Clinic – Dubai, we aim to reduce nerve pressure and restore normal function without delay.
I – Injuries from Sports
Whether you’re a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, sports injuries are common and can significantly impact your performance and daily life. Ligament tears, tendon injuries, and joint dislocations are frequent concerns in active individuals.
At Westminster Ortho Med Clinic – Dubai, our Sports Medicine Services offer advanced diagnostics and treatment plans, including arthroscopy, physiotherapy, and injury prevention programs. Our consultants work closely with patients to not only treat the injury but also guide them through customized recovery and rehabilitation programs for a full return to activity.
J – Joint Replacement Surgeries
When conservative treatments no longer provide relief, joint replacement surgery may be the solution to restore mobility and reduce pain in severely damaged joints.
At Westminster Ortho Med Clinic – Dubai, our consultants, including Dr. Khaled Mohamed and Dr. Ishrat Khan, specialize in hip and knee joint replacements, offering state-of-the-art procedures and personalized pre- and post-operative care. We focus on minimally invasive techniques that promote faster healing and long-term success.
K – Kids’ Orthopedic Issues
Children and adolescents require specialized care when it comes to musculoskeletal concerns. At Westminster, our pediatric orthopedic services manage conditions such as pediatric fractures, developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), Perthes disease, and growth-related deformities like knock knees or flat feet.
Using child-friendly diagnostic tools and tailored treatments, our team ensures that your child receives expert care in a comfortable and compassionate environment.
L – Ligament & Meniscus Injuries
ACL tears, meniscal damage, and other ligament injuries commonly occur during high-impact activities or sports. If untreated, they can lead to joint instability and long-term complications.
Our orthopedic consultants at Westminster Ortho Med Clinic – Dubai, use advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to guide precise interventions like arthroscopic surgery, ligament reconstruction, and structured rehabilitation, helping patients regain stability and prevent recurrence.
M – Muscular & Myofascial Pain
Chronic muscle pain and myofascial trigger points can significantly affect one’s quality of life. These pains are often misunderstood and misdiagnosed.
Our specialists offer comprehensive evaluations to pinpoint the source of discomfort and deliver non-surgical treatments such as manual therapy, dry modalities, and exercise rehabilitation, all aimed at relieving pain and restoring function naturally.
N – Neuropathy (Peripheral & Diabetic)
Peripheral neuropathy, especially in diabetic patients, causes pain, tingling, and numbness—commonly affecting the feet and hands.
At Westminster Ortho Med Clinic – Dubai Healthcare City, our team combines neurological assessments, nerve pain management strategies, and diabetic foot care protocols to slow the progression and alleviate discomfort. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care are key to better outcomes.
O – Osteotomies & Reconstruction
For patients with bone deformities or joint alignment issues, osteotomy surgery can offer a solution that delays or prevents the need for joint replacement.
Both pediatric and adult patients benefit from our expertise in corrective bone surgery, where precision and advanced planning tools help achieve optimal alignment, joint preservation, and pain relief.
P – Post-Traumatic Care
Orthopedic injuries don’t end in the operating room. Recovery and functional restoration are just as important.
Our consultants, including Dr. Ishrat Azam Khan and Dr. Khaled Mohamed, oversee structured post-traumatic care, involving physical therapy, follow-up imaging, and pain management strategies. We guide each patient through every phase of healing, from acute care to full recovery.
