MAIN ARTICLE:
Founded in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, Physiowell quickly became a notable provider of chiropractic, physiotherapy, and osteopathy services. Co-founders Hazem El Khatib and Zafer El Khatib launched the clinic amid a global health crisis. They overcame initial challenges in a competitive market by assembling a team of Dubai Health Authority (DHA) licensed professionals. Physiowell’s commitment to patient-centered care and high healthcare standards allowed Physiowell to thrive.
So how bad is it? A study shows that global incidence of lower back is 9.4%, creating more disability than any other condition. 80% of the population will experience back pain at some time in lifetime and the number of adults with chronic back pain increased 64% from 2000-2007 (7.8 - 12.8 million). In 2020 alone, 619 Million people suffered from lower back pain globally.
Part of the problem is that the lumbar intervertebral discs receive a relatively poor blood supply. When this happens coupled with other external factors, your disc is subject to bulging and herniation. However, nutrition to the disc is improved and aided by movement, for movement causes bulk flow of water into and out of the disc, and this bulk flow carries nutrients with it. The good news for readers is that research has confirmed that disc rehydration can be achieved in degenerative discs.
Hence why Physiowell has invested into Vertonex, a completely new era in spinal health and decompression therapy in Dubai. The table features more than 20,000 biofeedback sensors designed for both cervical and lumbar decompression. This decompression technology addresses the biomechanical aspects of disc disease in a non-invasive method, meaning most patients can avoid the need for surgery and long recovery times as clinical studies have documented the ability to actually lower the intradiscal pressure to even negative levels.
Why is spinal decompression crucial today, and how does Vertonex make a difference? Traditional treatments often involve medication, invasive procedures or extensive physical therapy, which may not always provide relief or suit every patient's needs. The Vertonex device, with its precise control and customized treatment protocols, gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This process promotes the flow of nutrients and oxygen back into the discs, facilitating their healing and offering long-term relief from pain. The therapy is a cost-effective alternative to surgery and is a solution to patients suffering from disc injury and having diabetes.
It is worth noting that decompression is not traction, as some may assume. A retrospective clinical pilot study, published in the American Journal of Pain Management Vol. 7 No. 2 April 1997, shows that decompression treatment rendered “good” to “excellent” relief in 86% of patients with herniated discs and 75% in patients with facet arthrosis. Meanwhile traction yielded no “excellent” results in patients with herniated discs and only 50% “good” to “excellent” results with patients who were diagnosed with facet arthrosis. Significantly a clinical outcome study published in 2014 from Devonport University showed a 91% success rate in patient decompression therapy.
Physiowell is ushering in a new era of treatment for spinal, bone, joint and muscle health by strengthening their commitment to non-invasive and effective treatments. This commitment is highlighted by the integration of the Vertonex decompression device and the addition of several high-profile practitioners. Their efforts are making a profound impact on individuals suffering from back and neck conditions, among other anatomical issues, marking a significant milestone in healthcare innovation.
