From Chronic Pain to Recovery: Finding the Best Spine Specialist in Dubai

Back discomfort impacts a large number of individuals around the globe and can greatly influence your standard of living. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, acute injury, or degenerative conditions, you need a specialist. 

Finding the right back pain doctor with expertise in diagnosing and treating the specific type of back problem you're facing is crucial for effective treatment and recovery.

At PRIME’s Spine Clinic, we understand the importance of specialized spine care and are committed to helping you make informed decisions about your health. 

 

How do I know if I need a doctor for back problems?

Many patients wonder when to seek a back pain specialist. Although your family doctor is capable of addressing mild back discomfort, it's advisable to consult a spine expert if you have any of the following symptoms:
 

  • Pain lasting beyond several weeks.
  • Severe pain that doesn’t improve with rest.
  • Pain that spreads down one or both legs, especially if it extends below the knee.
  • Weakness, numbness, or tingling in your legs.
  • Unexplained weight loss accompanying back pain.
  • Back pain following a fall or injury.
  • Difficulty controlling your bowels or bladder.
  • Fever accompanying back pain.

Early consultation by spine specialists can prevent minor issues from becoming major problems.

 

Which doctor should you see for your back pain?

A back pain doctor is a medical professional who specializes in diagnosing and treating various back problems, including spinal conditions, muscle strain, and nerve-related pain.

When you have back pain, your first question might be which specialist you should consult. The answer depends on your symptoms, their severity, and their duration; the specialties of different back pain doctors include: 

Primary Care Physician (PCP): 

First line of care for mild or new back pain. Can refer you to a specialist.

Advanced Treatment Facilities: 

The hospital’s spine clinic features state-of-the-art equipment for both diagnosis and treatment, enabling precise procedures with optimal outcomes.

 

Comprehensive Spine Care Services: 

Offers a full spectrum of spine treatments, including:

Advanced endoscopic procedures for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions.

Specialized treatments such as:

  •  Microdiscectomy: minimally invasive spine surgery that relieves pressure on a nerve by removing a small portion of the herniated disc.
  • TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion) surgeries: Minimally invasive spine surgeries that involve removing the damaged disc through a small incision, inserting a bone graft between vertebrae, and stabilizing the area with screws and rods to prevent nerve pinching.
  • Anterior cervical discectomy: This neck surgery targets compressed nerves or the spinal cord in the cervical spine to relieve symptoms like arm/neck pain, numbness, or weakness.

Disc replacement and spinal fusion:

  • Disk replacement: The damaged spinal disc is removed and replaced with an artificial one that preserves the natural movement between vertebrae.
  • Spinal fusion: the damaged disc is removed, and two or more vertebrae are permanently joined using bone grafts and spinal implants.

Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty:

  • Vertebroplasty: used to treat painful spine fractures, a special bone-strengthening cement is injected directly into the broken vertebra through a small needle. This stabilizes the bone and often relieves pain quickly within hours to days.
  • Kyphoplasty: similar to vertebroplasty, but first involves inserting a tiny balloon into the fractured bone to gently restore its shape. The resulting cavity is then filled with cement.

Revision spine surgeries: Procedures that correct or improve outcomes from previous spine surgeries, especially when pain or complications persist.
