Back pain is one of the most common reasons UAE adults visit a clinic — often driven by desk-bound work, poor ergonomics, long commutes and insufficient daily movement. Most episodes are musculoskeletal (muscle strain, disc irritation, facet joint pain) and resolve with conservative care: physiotherapy, targeted exercise, short courses of anti-inflammatories and postural correction. A minority of cases — those with radicular leg pain, progressive weakness, saddle anaesthesia, or red-flag features like unexplained weight loss, fever, history of cancer, or night pain — require urgent specialist evaluation. In the UAE, the typical care path starts with a GP or family physician, escalating to physiotherapy and orthopedic or spine consultants, with neurology or neurosurgery brought in for suspected nerve-root or spinal cord involvement. MRI imaging is widely available but should only be ordered when it will change management. Acupuncture, chiropractic and osteopathy are offered by some licensed alternative-medicine providers in Dubai and Abu Dhabi — check licensing with DHA/DOH. Most UAE insurance plans cover GP assessment, imaging on referral, and a limited number of physiotherapy sessions per year; check your policy for session caps and co-pays.

تُعدّ آلام الظهر من أكثر الأسباب شيوعاً لزيارة العيادات في الإمارات، وغالباً ما تكون مرتبطة بالعمل المكتبي والجلوس الطويل وضعف النشاط البدني اليومي. معظم الحالات عضلية-هيكلية وتتحسّن بالعلاج التحفظي: العلاج الطبيعي، التمارين الموجّهة، مسكّنات قصيرة الأمد، وتصحيح الوضعية. أما الحالات التي تظهر فيها آلام منتشرة إلى الساق أو ضعف متزايد أو فقدان وزن غير مبرّر أو حمى أو تاريخ مرضي للسرطان، فتستوجب تقييماً متخصّصاً عاجلاً. في الإمارات يبدأ مسار الرعاية عادة بطبيب عام ثم يُحال إلى العلاج الطبيعي وأطباء العظام أو العمود الفقري، ويتم إشراك طبيب الأعصاب عند الاشتباه بمشاكل في جذور الأعصاب. التصوير بالرنين المغناطيسي متاح على نطاق واسع. تغطي أغلب خطط التأمين الاستشارة والتصوير بالإحالة وعدداً محدداً من جلسات العلاج الطبيعي سنوياً.
