Suffering From Back Pain? Here’s What To Do
Are you finding yourself having painful back pain when sitting, sleeping, or walking? Not to worry, it is a lot more common than you might think.
Nowadays with Dubai becoming a hub for entrepreneurs and start-ups, people are spending prolonged hours sitting at their desks, and complaints of lower back pain are something our physiotherapists deal with a lot at Anatomy Rehab Dubai.
Luckily, once you know the cause of your painful back pain, you can holistically help your lower back pain and sciatica pain through services such as chiropractic and physiotherapy.
Common Causes Of Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is a common issue among athletes and active individuals, often resulting from sports-related injuries or overuse. Activities like weightlifting, running, and contact sports can strain the muscles, ligaments, and discs in the lower back, leading to pain and discomfort.
For many, this pain may resolve with rest and proper care, such as using warm compresses and avoiding strenuous activities. However, persistent or severe pain might require professional treatment. At Anatomy Rehab, we offer specialized services like physiotherapy, chiropractic care, and dry needling to address sports-related lower back pain and help you return to your active lifestyle. Our clinics in Palm Jumeirah and DIFC are equipped to provide tailored treatment plans to manage your pain effectively.
Below are a few common causes we see at our clinic.
Sprains & Strains – Muscles, ligaments and tendons can be injured by lifting heavy things, twisting or bending over.
Injury – Bones in the spine can break due to an injury like falling or being in a car crash.
Herniated disc – This is a gel-like material located in the spinal disk which can press on your nerves and cause lower back pain.
Scoliosis – An atypical curve of the spine which can cause lower back pain.
Osteoarthritis – This is the degradation of your spinal joints over time and typically happens when you are older.
Sciatica Pain What Is?
You’ve heard the term Sciatica pain thrown around a lot, but what does it mean? Sciatic pain is when irritation or inflammation affects your sciatic nerve that runs down your lower back into your legs.
Typically pain happens when the nerve becomes pinched which can be caused by a herniated disk in the spine or overgrowth of the bone.¹
Sciatica pain is mostly treated through pain relief and will eventually go away with the correct physiotherapy and exercises to help strengthen your lower back. Hot and cold compresses can be used to help with pain too.

Frequently asked questions
What happens at an assessment for back pain?
Your clinician will discuss when the pain started, how sitting, walking or sleep are affected, and any symptoms in your legs. A physical assessment helps guide the care plan and whether further medical investigation is needed.
Do I need to choose a particular back treatment before booking?
No. Ask for an assessment first. The clinician can discuss suitable options based on your symptoms and findings rather than assuming that everyone with back pain needs the same treatment.
Can I discuss recurring back pain linked to work or sport?
Yes. The page covers back discomfort affecting everyday activities and sport. Describe your work, training and previous episodes so these can be considered when planning rehabilitation.
Which back-pain symptoms need emergency care?
Seek emergency care for back pain with new bladder or bowel changes, loss of feeling around the genitals or anus, or weakness or numbness in both legs. Pain following a serious accident also needs emergency assessment. Do not wait for a clinic enquiry response. Read NHS back-pain safety guidance.
Will insurance cover my assessment or treatment?
Cover depends on your policy and the service provided. Check eligibility and any referral requirements with your insurer before booking. The main FAQ explains that Anatomy Rehab can provide an invoice and insurance form after a session to support a claim; reimbursement is not guaranteed.
