What types of pain are treated at Westminster Clinic in Dubai?

Our clinic specializes in treating various types of pain, including musculoskeletal pain (back, neck, and joint pain), neuropathic pain (nerve damage), postoperative pain, migraines, cancer-related pain, and pain caused by chronic conditions like fibromyalgia and arthritis. Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s unique needs.

What treatments do you offer for chronic pain management?

We provide a comprehensive range of treatments, including medication management, physical therapy, minimally invasive procedures such as nerve blocks and epidural injections, and advanced techniques like radiofrequency ablation. Our clinic in Dubai focuses on evidence-based therapies to ensure long-term relief.

How do you diagnose the cause of chronic pain?

Diagnosis begins with a thorough evaluation of your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle. We use advanced diagnostic tools such as imaging (X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans), blood tests, and nerve conduction studies to identify the underlying cause of your pain accurately.

What is a nerve block, and when is it used?

A nerve block is an injection of medication near specific nerves to reduce pain signals. It is commonly used for conditions such as sciatica, back pain, and complex regional pain syndrome. At Westminster Clinic, our specialists use this technique to provide targeted and lasting pain relief.

Do you offer minimally invasive pain treatments?

Yes, we specialize in minimally invasive procedures like nerve blocks, epidural steroid injections, and radiofrequency ablation. These techniques are designed to provide effective pain relief with minimal downtime, making them ideal for patients in Dubai who want to resume their daily activities quickly.

Every patient’s experience with pain is unique. Our specialists create personalized treatment plans based on the type, severity, and underlying cause of pain. This approach ensures that each patient receives the most effective and appropriate care.

Can you help with pain after surgery or an injury?

Yes, our clinic provides specialized care for postoperative and injury-related pain. This includes medication management, physical therapy, and advanced interventions to promote healing and reduce discomfort.

What is radiofrequency ablation, and how does it work?

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat generated by radio waves to target and disable specific nerves, preventing them from sending pain signals. It is highly effective for chronic conditions like arthritis and spinal pain, providing long-lasting relief.

Physical therapy is an integral part of our pain management programs. It focuses on improving mobility, strengthening muscles, and reducing pain through targeted exercises and techniques. Our clinic in Dubai works closely with experienced physical therapists to ensure holistic care.

How do you manage pain caused by arthritis?

Our arthritis pain management strategies include medications, joint injections, lifestyle modifications, and advanced procedures like RFA. We also provide guidance on exercises and dietary changes to reduce inflammation and improve joint health.

Is pain medicine management suitable for elderly patients?

Absolutely. Pain management is particularly beneficial for elderly patients dealing with conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, or nerve-related pain. Our specialists in Dubai ensure that treatments are safe, effective, and tailored to the unique needs of older adults.

How long does it take to see results from pain management treatments?

The timeline for results varies depending on the treatment and the patient’s condition. While some procedures, like nerve blocks, provide immediate relief, others, such as physical therapy or RFA, may take a few weeks to show significant improvement.
