The Neurosurgery and Spine Surgery Department at Ebn Haian Healthcare provides medical assessment, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment planning for conditions affecting the brain, nerves, spinal cord, and spine. These may include back and neck pain associated with spinal disorders, herniated discs, sciatica, nerve compression, spinal canal stenosis, selected spinal injuries, and other neurological conditions that may require specialist assessment
At Ebn Haian Healthcare, we aim to provide patient-centered care that addresses individual needs, supports mobility and daily function, and helps patients understand the potential benefits, risks, and alternatives of available treatments. The decision to proceed with surgery depends on the diagnosis and specialist assessment rather than symptoms alone.
We support the assessment of conditions affecting the back, neck, and nerves, including herniated discs, sciatica, nerve compression, and spinal canal stenosis, based on clinical findings and individual symptoms.
Back pain, neck pain, and neurological symptoms can have different causes. Treatment planning considers the nature and severity of the condition, the patient’s medical history, and the impact of symptoms on daily life.
Some conditions may require magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), or other neurological investigations. The need for these tests is determined by the treating clinician, who considers the results alongside the patient’s symptoms and examination.
Not every herniated disc or spinal condition requires surgery. Depending on the diagnosis, options may include conservative management, physiotherapy when appropriate, further investigation, or surgical treatment when indicated.
Our goal is to help patients understand their condition and pursue appropriate care, with realistic treatment goals that may include improved mobility, reduced symptoms, and better daily function.
Follow-up care helps monitor symptoms, assess the response to treatment, and determine whether changes to the treatment plan or further investigations are needed.
Ebn Hayan Healthcare serves patients in Sharjah and Dubai through its available locations and services. Patients can contact the center to confirm the availability of neurosurgery and spine consultations and specialist appointments.
Neurosurgeons assess conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and spine. These may include selected cases of herniated discs, nerve compression, spinal canal stenosis, spinal injuries, and other conditions that may require surgery.
Consider a medical assessment if back or neck pain persists, pain radiates into an arm or leg, or you experience numbness, tingling, or weakness, particularly when symptoms worsen or interfere with daily activities.
No. Many cases improve with non-surgical treatment, depending on the condition. Surgery may be considered when symptoms persist despite appropriate treatment or when significant nerve compression or progressive neurological weakness is present.
A herniated disc occurs when material from an intervertebral disc protrudes beyond its usual boundaries. Sciatica refers to pain that typically radiates from the lower back into the leg due to irritation of the sciatic nerve or its roots. A herniated disc can cause sciatica, but it is not the only possible cause.
No. Pain may arise from muscles, joints, intervertebral discs, or other causes. A medical assessment helps identify the likely source, and additional investigations may be recommended when indicated.
An MRI may be recommended when nerve compression, a disc problem, or spinal cord involvement is suspected, or when symptoms require further investigation. Not everyone with back pain needs an MRI.
This depends on the cause and severity of the compression and the associated symptoms. Non-surgical treatment may be suitable for some patients, while others may require surgery, particularly when progressive neurological weakness or serious nerve dysfunction is present.
Severe or progressive limb weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or loss of sensation around the inner thighs or genital area requires emergency medical assessment, particularly when accompanied by back pain. Do not wait for a routine appointment if these symptoms occur.
