Catherine Moss – Chiropractor in Dubai

BACK PAIN · LOWER BACK PAIN

Back Pain Chiropractor in Dubai

When Should You See a Chiropractor for Lower Back Pain?

When the same back pain keeps returning after it settles, when it is changing how you work, train or sleep, or when it has not improved on its own after a couple of weeks.

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a chiropractor. The first step is to work out which movements, joints or tissues may be contributing to the problem rather than simply treating the area that hurts.

Catherine may assess movement through your lower back and hips, joint mobility, muscle function and the specific movements or positions that reproduce your symptoms. Where appropriate, the assessment can also include orthopaedic or neurological testing.

Depending on what she finds, treatment may include spinal or joint manipulation, mobilisation, soft-tissue techniques, dry needling and advice around movement, exercise or activity.

The goal is not simply to provide an adjustment. It is to reduce symptoms where possible while identifying the factors that may be causing the problem to persist or keep returning.

NECK PAIN · UPPER BACK · DESK-RELATED STIFFNESS

Neck Pain & Upper Back Stiffness

Neck pain is not always simply a tight muscle. Long periods at a desk, repeated training positions, reduced movement through the upper back, joint irritation and previous injuries can all contribute to pain or stiffness.

During an assessment, Catherine looks at how your neck and upper back move, which movements reproduce your symptoms and whether the problem appears to involve the joints, muscles or surrounding tissues.

Treatment may include joint mobilisation or manipulation, soft-tissue treatment, dry needling and practical advice around movement, training or work habits.

If your symptoms include signs that require medical investigation rather than chiropractic treatment, Catherine will advise you on the appropriate next step.

PRENATAL & PREGNANCY CHIROPRACTIC

Pregnancy Chiropractor in Dubai

Can I See a Chiropractor While Pregnant?

Yes. Chiropractic assessment and care may be considered during pregnancy when clinically appropriate, and Catherine has a particular professional interest in working with pregnant women.

As pregnancy progresses, your centre of mass changes and your body has to manage load differently. This can place different demands on areas including the lower back, pelvis, hips, ribs and upper back.

Catherine’s assessment looks at where you are uncomfortable, how you are moving and which positions or activities aggravate the problem.

Depending on the assessment, care may include gentle joint mobilisation, appropriate manual techniques, soft-tissue treatment and advice around movement or positioning. Treatment is adapted to both the individual and the stage of pregnancy.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy does not replace your obstetrician, midwife or routine maternity care. Where appropriate, Catherine can work alongside your wider healthcare team.

If you are looking for a pregnancy chiropractor in Dubai or prenatal chiropractic care in Dubai, you can book directly with Catherine at Joint Space.

BABIES · CHILDREN · FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

Paediatric Chiropractor in Dubai

What Does Chiropractic Care for Babies and Children Involve?

Catherine sees babies and children as part of her clinical practice, but a paediatric appointment is not simply a smaller version of an adult chiropractic session.

The appointment begins with a detailed history from the parent or guardian. Catherine then assesses the concern using techniques appropriate to the child’s age and development. This may include observing movement, posture and joint or muscle function where relevant.

Any hands-on techniques used are modified for the child’s size, age and individual presentation.

Catherine’s role is to assess musculoskeletal concerns within her professional scope. Chiropractic care does not replace paediatric medical care, and symptoms requiring medical assessment will be referred appropriately.

Parents looking for a paediatric chiropractor in Dubai, pediatric chiropractor in Dubai or baby chiropractor in Dubai can contact Joint Space to discuss whether an appointment with Catherine is appropriate.

SPORT · TRAINING · MOVEMENT

Sports Chiropractic & Active Lifestyles

Catherine understands the physical demands of training and sport personally as well as professionally.

She is a runner who has completed multiple half marathons and a full marathon and continues to maintain an active lifestyle.

Running, gym training and sport repeatedly load the same joints and tissues. Sometimes pain follows an acute injury; in other cases it develops gradually as training volume, mobility or movement changes.

Catherine assesses both the painful area and the movements involved in your sport or training.

For example, a runner with recurring lower-back discomfort may need the movement of the lower back and hips assessed alongside training load and muscle function rather than simply having the painful area treated.

Treatment may include joint manipulation or mobilisation, soft-tissue techniques and advice around movement. If strength, progressive loading or rehabilitation is required, Catherine can work alongside Joint Space’s physiotherapy and movement team.

When Would Catherine Involve Another Practitioner?

Not every musculoskeletal problem needs the same type of treatment.

If your main issue involves joint or spinal restriction and manual treatment is appropriate, chiropractic care may form the main part of your treatment.

If you need to rebuild strength, progressively load an injury or complete a structured rehabilitation programme, Catherine may involve one of Joint Space’s physiotherapists or movement practitioners.

If the assessment suggests that your symptoms require medical investigation rather than musculoskeletal treatment, you may instead be referred to an appropriate doctor.

Because these practitioners work within the same clinic, your care can move between disciplines when the problem requires it rather than expecting one practitioner to do everything.
