When to Seek Help for Back (Your) Pain

If your back (or neck) pain persists for over six weeks, worsens over time, or affects your daily activities, it is time to consult a specialist. Early intervention can help prevent complications (progression) and improve outcomes.

If you have back or neck pain and experience any of the following symptoms: loss of control passing urine or stools, inability to pass urine, numbness or pain in both legs or numbness/loss of feeling in the saddle area (buttocks and area around the genitalia and anus), you must seek urgent medical attention.

Our Approach: Surgery Is Not the First Step

In many cases, back pain can be successfully managed without surgery. At Mubadala Health Dubai, we prioritize non-surgical treatment options to address the root cause of your pain before considering surgical solutions.

Here is what you can expect:

• Thorough Evaluation: A detailed assessment to understand the nature of your pain and identify its underlying cause.
• Referral to Physiotherapy: Most patients benefit from targeted rehabilitation that improves mobility, strengthens the spine, and reduces pain.
• Pain-Relieving Injections: For severe (certain) cases, we may recommend epidural or nerve block injections, with or without sedation, performed in our fully equipped Day Surgery Unit. These procedures are safe, minimally invasive, and typically involve no downtime.
• Surgery as a Last Resort: If non-surgical treatments are not effective, our spinal neurosurgeons offer advanced surgical options — including minimally invasive techniques — tailored to your specific condition.
