Back & Spine Pain Treatment

At Westminster Multi Specialty Clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, our Orthopedics Department provides advanced care for patients living with chronic back or spine pain. These conditions can limit movement, affect daily activities, and cause long-term discomfort if left untreated.

Whether caused by a herniated disc, sciatica, or degenerative spine conditions, our goal is to identify the underlying issue and provide effective, personalized treatment. Learn more about our full Orthopedic Services.

Understanding Back & Spine Pain

Back pain is one of the most common orthopedic concerns, ranging from mild stiffness to severe, radiating pain. Some of the most frequent causes include:

  • Herniated disc: When cushioning discs between vertebrae slip out of place, pressing on nerves.
  • Sciatica: Nerve pain radiating from the lower back down the legs, often due to disc or spinal compression.
  • Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal causing nerve compression.
  • Degenerative disc disease: Age-related wear of spinal discs leading to pain and limited flexibility.

These conditions may progress if untreated, making early evaluation essential.

Signs You Should Seek Help

You may benefit from professional orthopedic care if you experience:

  • Persistent lower or upper back pain lasting weeks or months
  • Sharp pain radiating from the back to the leg (sciatica)
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs
  • Difficulty standing, walking, or bending without pain
  • Pain that worsens after long periods of sitting or standing
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control (urgent sign requiring immediate medical attention)

How Westminster Treats Back & Spine Pain

Our specialists use a comprehensive approach, starting with advanced diagnostic imaging to pinpoint the cause. Treatment options include:

  • Medication management: Anti-inflammatories, pain relievers, and nerve pain medication where needed
  • Physiotherapy & rehabilitation: Exercises to strengthen supporting muscles and improve mobility
  • Epidural steroid injections: To reduce nerve inflammation and relieve sciatica or disc-related pain
  • Minimally invasive spine procedures: Techniques such as microdiscectomy for herniated discs
  • Surgical options: Spinal fusion or decompression surgeries for severe or unresponsive cases
  • Post-treatment rehabilitation: Structured recovery plans to prevent recurrence and maintain spine health

Each plan is individualized to relieve pain while improving strength and stability.

FAQ's

What is the difference between a herniated disc and sciatica?

A herniated disc occurs when spinal discs slip or rupture, while sciatica is nerve pain caused by compression, often due to a herniated disc.

Can back pain improve without surgery?

Yes. Many patients respond well to physiotherapy, medication, or injections before surgery is considered.

When is spine surgery necessary?

Surgery is recommended if pain persists despite conservative treatments or if there is significant nerve compression.

How long does recovery take from back surgery?

Recovery varies, but most patients resume normal activities within weeks to months depending on the procedure.

Can back and spine pain return after treatment?

Yes, but rehabilitation and lifestyle changes reduce recurrence. Regular follow-ups help maintain long-term results.
