Long hours at a desk, too much time in the driving seat and not enough exercise make the UAE a hotspot for back problems. With that in mind, What’s On went to Pure Chiro Dubai – founded by Dr Nashila Farrah Jaffer in 2014 after opening a clinic in west London – to seek the expert advice of her team of chiropractors.
The treatment involves gentle and precise adjustments of the vertebrae, relieving irritation to the nerves, improving mobility in joints and relaxing muscle spasm. This aims to alleviate pain and prevent further issues, and is an effective alternative to surgery and medication. The best part is, a consultation costs between 200 and 650 dirhams, and most health insurance plans cover chiropractic treatments.
Located in Emirates European Medical Centre, the team here is made up of highly-qualified chiropractors from UK and Canada who are passionate about helping patients of all ages. They specialise in a range of ailments, including back and neck pain, migraines and herniated discs. Whether you need an adjustment or want to address a specific issue, the team will put together a clear treatment plan that suits your needs.
As well as treating injuries, the doctors here also offer nutritional and functional medicine advice to improve your wellbeing. Their focus is on keeping your spine and nervous system in a healthy state, which will help you achieve optimum vitality. Their clinic has a cosy atmosphere that’ll make you feel at ease before your session begins.
