Spinal Rehabilitation & Chronic Pain Care in Islamabad
Chronic pain rearranges a life quietly — the stairs you avoid, the chair you can't sit in, the sleep that never quite restores. Our work is to reverse that rearrangement, methodically.
Spinal rehabilitation at Islamabad Aesthetics & Therapy is doctor-led from the first minute. Dr. Azaz (DPT, SPT) is certified in the McKenzie, Mulligan and Maitland protocols — three internationally recognised approaches to assessing and treating spinal and joint dysfunction — and leads a ten-doctor team whose specialties span musculoskeletal, neurological and geriatric care. Chronic pain rarely respects a single category; neither do we.
What we treat.
Back and neck pain, spinal dysfunction, and chronic pain that has outlasted previous treatment. Postural problems that feed recurring pain. Gait difficulties. Age-related spinal complaints, overseen by our geriatric specialists. Where appropriate, care draws on manual protocols, dry needling, electrotherapy, postural correction and structured gait training.
Your first visit.
A careful history — because chronic pain has one — followed by a physical and movement assessment. Your doctor identifies what is driving the pain, not just where it hurts, then builds a staged rehabilitation plan with milestones you can feel. You'll understand your condition better walking out than you did walking in.
One of our patients wrote in her Google review that she “had almost lost all hope” and was unable to walk properly without support before treatment here. Outcomes like hers are why the clinic holds a 4.9-star rating across 482 reviews.
Common questions.
How do I book, and do I need a referral?
No referral is needed — message us on WhatsApp at 0314 9882227 and we'll schedule your assessment directly. If you have prior scans, reports or prescriptions, bring them; they help, but our doctors will always conduct their own examination.
How long does spinal rehabilitation take?
Longer-standing pain generally needs a longer, staged programme than a recent strain. After your first assessment your doctor will map out phases with review points, so you always know what progress should look like and when. Plans are adjusted to your response, never run on autopilot.
Is treatment painful for someone already in chronic pain?
Treatment is paced to your tolerance. Techniques such as the McKenzie and Mulligan protocols work within comfortable movement ranges, and your doctor monitors your response throughout. Temporary soreness after a session can occur; lasting flare-ups are something we actively plan to avoid.
I've tried physiotherapy before and it didn't work. Why would this be different?
An honest answer: it depends on whether the original driver of your pain was correctly identified. Our doctors reassess from scratch — history, movement, posture, gait — rather than repeating a previous plan. If we believe physiotherapy is not the right answer for you, we will say so.
