hi Ladies

I am looking for recommendations for a good Western doctor (NeuroSurgeon/Orthopedic Surgeon)preferably British or South African or if not then European that specialises in back pain. I've had MRI's done in the past and know i have an issue with my spine but was just told to take pain killers and go see a chiropractor. Which actually isnt helping at all.
I would like to go for another MRI and then have the doctor help me with some treatment, not just send me to another chiro and tell me to take painkillers. Need a better solution that will have more long term affects, but dont necessarily want someone that will also just want to do surgery

thanks :)

Hi, if you have had MRIs or xrays and know the condition I can thoroughly recommend Dr Taybeh at Dubai Physiotherapy at Town Centre. USA certified. I have been seeing her on an off for over 2 years with an on going lower back, slipping discs and hip issues. I was not keen for surgery and had xrays to show what the issue was and she has been amazing at getting my back on my feet each time the issue reoccurred.

I've had a really positive experience with Dr Andreas Appelt at Healthbay Polyclinic (I think he's moved to Dubai Mall Clinic since). He's very orthodox about his non-invasive methods and insists on doing the needful only. I believe he's German. I hope you feel better!

Check out the guys at Up and Running. They're excellent Chiro's/Osteopaths but also have surgeons there as well.
