PRP Injections for Joint Pain
At Westminster Multi Specialty Clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, our Orthopedics Department offers Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy as an advanced, non-surgical option for patients with joint pain. PRP injections use the body’s own healing properties to reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and improve mobility.
This treatment is particularly beneficial for patients with arthritis, sports injuries, or chronic tendon and ligament conditions. Learn more about our full Orthopedic Services.
Understanding PRP Therapy
PRP is a regenerative treatment created from a small sample of your own blood. The blood is processed to concentrate platelets, which are rich in growth factors. When injected into the affected joint or tissue, these platelets stimulate natural healing and repair.
Conditions commonly treated with PRP include:
- Osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, or shoulder
- Sports-related injuries to ligaments and tendons
- Chronic tendon problems such as tennis elbow or Achilles tendinitis
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Early cartilage degeneration
Signs You May Benefit from PRP
You may be a candidate for PRP injections if you have:
- Joint pain that persists despite rest, physiotherapy, or medication
- Swelling and stiffness limiting movement
- Chronic tendon or ligament injuries not healing with standard care
- Early-stage arthritis with ongoing discomfort
- Preference for non-surgical alternatives before considering surgery
How Westminster Performs PRP Therapy
Our orthopedic team follows a safe, precise process to deliver effective results:
- Evaluation: Review of medical history and imaging to confirm suitability
- Blood draw and preparation: A small sample of blood is processed to concentrate platelets
- Guided injection: PRP is injected into the joint or tendon using ultrasound guidance for accuracy
- Recovery plan: Recommendations on activity modification, physiotherapy, and follow-up care
PRP is performed as an outpatient procedure and typically requires little downtime.

Westminster Ortho Med Clinic
Post-Traumatic Non-Union & Malunion Correction
At Westminster Multi Specialty Clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, our Orthopedics Department provides advanced treatment for patients facing complications after fractures. While most fractures heal normally, some may fail to heal (non-union) or heal incorrectly (malunion), leading to pain, deformity, and functional limitations.
With precise diagnostics and corrective surgical techniques, we help patients regain stability, alignment, and long-term mobility. Learn more about our full Orthopedic Services.
Understanding Non-Union & Malunion
- Non-union: A fracture that does not heal within the expected timeframe, often due to poor blood supply, infection, or inadequate stabilization.
- Malunion: A fracture that heals in the wrong position, causing deformity, imbalance, or chronic pain.
Both conditions can significantly affect quality of life if left untreated and may require surgical correction for proper recovery.
Signs You Should Seek Help
Consider an evaluation if you notice:
- Persistent pain at the site of a previous fracture
- Visible deformity or abnormal bone alignment
- Difficulty bearing weight or moving the affected limb
- Instability, weakness, or reduced function months after injury
- Swelling, tenderness, or signs of infection around the old fracture site
- Previous fracture treatment that has not restored normal function
How Westminster Corrects Non-Union & Malunion
Our orthopedic specialists provide individualized care to restore bone alignment and healing. Options include:
- Advanced imaging: X-rays, CT, or MRI to assess bone structure and healing progress
- Bone grafting: Using natural or synthetic grafts to stimulate new bone growth in non-union cases
- Internal fixation: Surgical stabilization with plates, screws, or rods for proper alignment
- External fixation: Specialized frames for complex or infected non-unions
- Corrective osteotomy: Cutting and realigning the bone to restore normal function in malunion cases
- Rehabilitation programs: Physiotherapy to rebuild strength and restore movement after surgery
Why Choose Westminster for Complex Fracture Care?
- Orthopedic surgeons licensed by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) with expertise in non-union and malunion correction

- Convenient location in Dubai Healthcare City with patient-centered care
Restoring Strength and Alignment
Non-union and malunion fractures can cause long-term complications, but with corrective treatment, pain relief and proper function are achievable. At Westminster Multi Specialty Clinic, our team is committed to restoring strength, stability, and confidence. Contact us today to schedule your consultation.
FAQ's
Why do some fractures fail to heal?
Causes include poor blood supply, infection, inadequate stabilization, or underlying health conditions.
Is surgery always required for non-union or malunion?
Not always. Mild malunions may be managed conservatively, but surgery is often needed for functional recovery.
How long does recovery take after corrective surgery?
Healing can take several months, depending on the complexity of the procedure and overall health.
Will bone grafting be painful?
Modern techniques minimize discomfort, and pain is managed effectively during recovery.
Can untreated non-union or malunion cause long-term problems?
Yes. They may lead to arthritis, chronic pain, or permanent loss of function if left uncorrected.
Osteoporosis Management & Fall Prevention

Osteoporosis Management & Fall Prevention
At Westminster Multi Specialty Clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, our Orthopedics Department provides specialized care for patients living with osteoporosis and age-related bone fragility. Osteoporosis weakens bones, making them more prone to fractures, often from simple falls or minor injuries.
Our focus is on early detection, effective treatment, and fall-prevention strategies to protect long-term bone health and maintain independence. Learn more about our full Orthopedic Services.
Understanding Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition where bone density decreases, leading to fragile and brittle bones. It often develops silently until a fracture occurs, commonly affecting the hip, spine, or wrist.
Risk factors include:
- Aging and hormonal changes (especially after menopause)
- Family history of osteoporosis
- Lack of calcium or vitamin D intake
- Sedentary lifestyle or prolonged immobility
- Certain medications or chronic illnesses
Because osteoporosis often shows no symptoms until a fracture, early screening is key to prevention.
Signs You Should Seek Help
You may need an evaluation for osteoporosis if you notice:
- Frequent fractures from minor falls or injuries
- Loss of height or a stooped posture
- Chronic back pain linked to vertebral fractures
- Weakness or unsteadiness when walking
- Risk factors such as menopause, long-term steroid use, or family history
How Westminster Manages Osteoporosis
Our orthopedic specialists create individualized plans to strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk. Treatment options include:
- Bone density testing (DEXA scan): To measure bone strength and track changes over time
- Medication management: Prescribing drugs that slow bone loss or increase bone formation
- Nutritional guidance: Ensuring adequate calcium, vitamin D, and protein intake
- Physiotherapy & exercise: Weight-bearing and balance training to strengthen muscles and protect bones
- Fall-prevention programs: Home safety assessments and strategies to reduce risks of slips or falls
- Post-fracture care: Rehabilitation to restore strength and prevent further injury
Why Choose Westminster for Osteoporosis Care?
- Orthopedic specialists licensed by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) with expertise in bone health
- Access to advanced bone density testing and monitoring
- Comprehensive management combining medication, nutrition, and physiotherapy
- Focus on fall prevention to reduce the risk of fractures

Building Stronger Bones, Preventing Falls
Osteoporosis may weaken bones, but with proactive care, you can stay active, independent, and safe. At Westminster Multi Specialty Clinic, we are committed to protecting your bone health and preventing injuries. Contact us today to book your consultation.
FAQ's
At what age should I be screened for osteoporosis?
Women over 50 and men over 65 are generally advised to undergo bone density testing, or earlier if risk factors exist.
Can osteoporosis be reversed?
While bone loss cannot be fully reversed, treatment can slow progression and strengthen remaining bone.
What foods help with bone strength?
Calcium-rich foods, vitamin D, and protein are essential for bone health. Supplements may be recommended if needed.
Do all patients with osteoporosis need medication?
Not always. Some can manage with lifestyle changes, but medication may be necessary for moderate to severe cases.
How can I prevent falls at home?
Simple changes such as removing loose rugs, adding handrails, improving lighting, and wearing supportive footwear can greatly reduce fall risk.
