# DISC DISC Group — full content for LLMs > DISC (Diversified Integrated Sports Clinic) delivers integrated musculoskeletal, sports medicine, physiotherapy, chiropractic and longevity care across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Kuwait. One team, one chart, one plan. Established 2014 in Dubai Healthcare City. ## Services ### Orthopedic Surgery (https://disc-me.com/services/orthopedic-surgery) *Comprehensive orthopedic care that restores mobility, reduces pain and gets you moving again.* Our orthopedic team delivers personalized treatment that restores mobility, reduces pain and improves quality of life. Every case starts with advanced diagnostics and a thorough physical assessment, so the plan matches the problem — whether that means conservative care, a minimally invasive procedure or joint replacement. Surgery is never the default. We work as a multidisciplinary team alongside chiropractors, physiotherapists and rehabilitation specialists, and pair every procedure with a structured recovery program built for lasting results, not just a short-term fix. **Patients can expect:** - Comprehensive evaluation with imaging and physical assessment - Customized plan — non-surgical therapy, minimally invasive surgery or joint replacement - Multidisciplinary coordination with chiropractors, physiotherapists and rehab specialists - Access to modern surgical facilities with current technologies - Post-surgical rehabilitation designed for faster recovery and long-term outcomes **Conditions treated:** Sports injuries; Joint disorders; Spinal conditions; Fractures and trauma; Chronic pain conditions; Degenerative diseases; Postural disorders **Treatments offered:** Arthroscopic surgery; Joint replacement surgery; Sports injury repairs; Fracture repair and stabilization; Rehabilitation programs; Comprehensive assessment ### Family, Lifestyle & Longevity Medicine (https://disc-me.com/services/family-lifestyle-longevity-medicine) *Consultant-led preventative medicine focused on healthspan — and home of our dedicated Peptide Therapy Hub.* Family, Lifestyle & Longevity Medicine at DISC is consultant-led, deeply personalised, and built around your biomarkers — not a generic wellness checklist. Multi-hour first visits. 12-month plans. Quarterly reviews. Real follow-through. It is also the home of our new Peptide Therapy Hub — a dedicated program for evidence-supported peptide protocols (recovery, metabolic, cognitive, longevity) supervised by our consultants and integrated with bloodwork and body composition tracking. Whether you're managing a chronic condition, optimising performance, or planning a long-term healthspan strategy, this is medicine that takes the time to understand you. **Patients can expect:** - Multi-hour consultant-led intake (history, lifestyle, family medicine review) - Comprehensive bloodwork, body composition (DEXA) - Personalised 12-month healthspan plan with quarterly review - GLP-1 and HRT prescription where clinically appropriate, fully supervised - Access to our dedicated Peptide Therapy Hub - Shared care with our MSK and performance teams **Conditions treated:** Preventative health & long-term wellness planning; Chronic disease management (diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia); Fatigue & energy deficiency; Hormonal imbalances (men & women); Metabolic disorders & weight management; Digestive & gut health concerns; Sleep disorders; Mental health concerns (anxiety, low mood, stress); Musculoskeletal issues (co-managed with MSK team); Cardiovascular health & risk reduction; Immune system support; Anti-aging & longevity optimisation **Treatments offered:** — Peptide Therapy Hub (NEW) —; BPC-157 / TB-500 (recovery & soft tissue); CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin (growth hormone secretagogues); Semaglutide / Tirzepatide (metabolic, supervised); Cognitive & longevity peptide protocols; — Hormone & Metabolic —; Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT); Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT); GLP-1 medications (supervised, with bloodwork & body comp tracking); Metabolic optimisation programs; — Infusions & Nutrition —; NAD+ infusions; Vitamin & mineral infusions; Nutritional & lifestyle coaching; — Diagnostics & Ongoing Care —; Bloodwork & biomarker panels; DEXA body composition; Cardiovascular risk panels; Gut health & detox programs; Anti-aging & regenerative medicine **Q: What is a longevity assessment?** A: A multi-hour intake including bloodwork, body composition, biomechanics and lifestyle review, with a personalised 12-month plan. **Q: Do you prescribe GLP-1 medications?** A: Yes, when clinically appropriate and supervised with bloodwork, body composition tracking and nutrition support. **Q: Tell me about the Peptide Therapy Hub.** A: Our Peptide Therapy Hub is a dedicated program within Family, Lifestyle & Longevity Medicine focused exclusively on evidence-supported peptide protocols — recovery (BPC-157, TB-500), growth-hormone secretagogues (CJC-1295, Ipamorelin), metabolic (semaglutide, tirzepatide), and cognitive/longevity blends. Every protocol is consultant-prescribed, supervised, and tracked against bloodwork and body composition data — not pulled from a wellness menu. **Q: Is family medicine the same as longevity medicine?** A: They overlap. Family medicine handles ongoing primary care, chronic disease management and family-level health. Longevity medicine adds a deeper biomarker-led, healthspan-optimisation layer. Many of our patients use both — they share the same consultant team and chart. ### Chiropractic & Osteopathy (https://disc-me.com/services/chiropractic-and-osteopathy) *Evidence-led spinal and joint care, alongside a multidisciplinary team.* Chiropractic and osteopathy at DISC focus on spinal and joint dysfunction, headaches and posture-related pain.

Pelvic-floor physio is available alongside. **Q: Will I be told I need lifetime care?** A: No. We set measurable goals and a finite plan, with discharge when they are met. ### Physiotherapy (https://disc-me.com/services/physiotherapy) *Hands-on treatment and progressive loading to get you back to training, not just out of pain.* Our physiotherapy team works across acute injury, post-operative rehab and chronic MSK pain. Every plan is measurable, reviewed by our sports medicine consultants, and paired with VALD-guided strength progression so you leave when the numbers say you are ready, not when a session package runs out. **Patients can expect:** - 60-minute initial assessment - Manual therapy and hands-on treatment - VALD force-plate & biomechanics testing - Written, milestone-based plan - Shared-chart integration with sports medicine and chiro **Conditions treated:** — Knee —; ACL rehabilitation (pre & post-op); Meniscus tears & repairs; Patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner's knee); Patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee); IT band syndrome; Osteoarthritis (conservative management); — Shoulder —; Rotator cuff tears & tendinopathies; Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis); Shoulder impingement syndrome; Post-surgical rehabilitation (rotator cuff, labrum, dislocation); Shoulder instability; — Spine —; Low back pain & disc herniation; Sciatica & nerve root pain; Cervical radiculopathy & whiplash; Postural & ergonomic-related pain; Spondylolysis / spondylolisthesis; Scoliosis (conservative management); — Foot, Ankle & Lower Limb —; Ankle sprains (all grades); Achilles tendinopathy & ruptures; Plantar fasciitis; Stress fractures; Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome); Hallux valgus & metatarsalgia; — Hip & Groin —; Hip impingement (FAI) & labral tears; Groin pain & adductor tendinopathy; Gluteal tendinopathy; Trochanteric bursitis; — Other —; Tennis & golfer's elbow; Wrist & hand injuries; Concussion rehabilitation; Running biomechanics; Pre & post-surgical rehabilitation **Treatments offered:** Manual therapy (joint mobilisation, soft tissue); Dry needling; Exercise therapy & progressive strength loading; Return-to-sport testing protocols; VALD ForceDecks & DynaMo objective testing; Shockwave therapy; Taping & bracing; Electrotherapy & laser (as indicated); Gait & running analysis; Hydrotherapy referral (where indicated) **Q: How many sessions will I need?** A: Acute injuries typically 4–8 sessions across 6–8 weeks.

Some insurers require one — the booking portal flags this before you confirm. **Q: What should I wear?** A: Athletic wear you can demonstrate symptoms in. Shorts for lower-limb, vest/tank for shoulder/neck. Changing rooms at all clinics. ### Massage Therapy (https://disc-me.com/services/massage-therapy) *Therapeutic and recovery-focused massage, prescribed as part of your plan.* Our massage therapists work alongside physios and chiros to support recovery, manage chronic muscular tension, and accelerate return to training.

Stand-alone wellness massage is typically self-pay. The portal checks both. **Q: Can I book massage without a physio visit?** A: Yes, though we recommend starting with an assessment if you have an injury or chronic pain. ### Orthotics & Prosthetics (https://disc-me.com/services/orthotics-and-prosthetics) *Custom-made insoles, orthotics and prosthetic devices — prescribed only when the biomechanics show they're needed.* Our Orthotics & Prosthetics service provides custom 3D-printed insoles and prescription orthotic devices. Every orthotic is biomechanics-led — built off objective data from a gait analysis, not a foam impression alone — and integrated with your physiotherapy plan. We never prescribe orthotics as a stand-alone solution: they sit alongside loading, technique and footwear changes. Alongside foot orthotics, we also provide custom prosthetic devices for limb loss and congenital limb differences, fabricated with the same focus on fit, function and long-term follow-up. **Patients can expect:** - Foot, ankle and lower-limb biomechanical assessment - Pressure-mat scan and 3D foot scanning - Linked to gait analysis when indicated - Custom 3D-printed insole fabrication - Fit check and follow-up review **Conditions treated:** Plantar fasciitis; Recurrent shin splints; Patellofemoral pain syndrome; Flat feet / over-pronation; High-arched (cavus) feet; Hallux valgus / bunion; Metatarsalgia; Diabetic foot care; Leg-length discrepancy; Post-surgical foot rehabilitation; Limb loss & amputation; Congenital limb differences **Treatments offered:** Custom 3D-printed insoles; Prescription orthotic devices; Footwear assessment & recommendation; Off-the-shelf insole fitting (when appropriate); Diabetic foot orthotics; Custom prosthetic devices & fitting; Follow-up adjustments included **Q: Do I need a gait analysis before getting insoles?** A: For most cases yes — we want objective data to ensure the orthotic actually addresses your biomechanics. For straightforward cases (e.g. diabetic foot care), a focused assessment is sufficient. **Q: How long do the insoles take to make?** A: Typically 5–10 working days from the scan to delivery, depending on the complexity of the prescription. **Q: Are follow-up adjustments included?** A: Yes. A fit-check and any minor adjustments in the first 6 weeks are included with every custom orthotic. ### Pain Psychology (https://disc-me.com/services/pain-psychology) *Evidence-based psychology for chronic pain, stress and injury-related distress.* Chronic pain is rarely just mechanical. Our psychology service works alongside physio and medicine to address the mind-body components — catastrophising, fear of movement, sleep, mood — that keep pain switched on after tissues have healed. **Patients can expect:** - Confidential 60-minute initial session - Coordinated notes with your medical team (with consent) - CBT / ACT-based approaches - Mindfulness & pacing strategies - Structured, time-limited plans **Conditions treated:** Chronic pain syndromes; Fibromyalgia; Persistent post-injury pain; Fear of movement (kinesiophobia); Return-to-sport anxiety; Sleep difficulties; Stress & burnout **Treatments offered:** Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT); Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT); Pain neuroscience education; Mindfulness-based stress reduction; Graded exposure for fear-avoidance **Q: Is this like seeing a therapist?** A: Similar training, but focused on pain, injury and performance. Sessions are structured and time-limited. **Q: Is it confidential from my physio?** A: Yes. We only share notes with your care team if you give explicit consent — it often helps, but it is your call. ### Women's Health (https://disc-me.com/services/womens-health) *Specialised physiotherapy for pelvic health, pregnancy and postnatal recovery.* Our women's health physiotherapists are trained in pelvic floor, pre/postnatal care, and gynaecological rehabilitation — services that are under-provided and often shrugged off in general-practice settings. **Patients can expect:** - 60-minute initial assessment - Private, consent-led examination - Individualised pelvic floor program - Pregnancy-safe exercise prescription - Postnatal return-to-exercise plan **Conditions treated:** Pelvic floor dysfunction; Urinary incontinence; Prolapse; Pregnancy-related back & pelvic pain; Diastasis recti; Postnatal recovery; Caesarean & perineal scar care; Menopausal MSK & pelvic concerns **Treatments offered:** Internal & external pelvic floor assessment; Pelvic floor strengthening & downtraining; Biofeedback; Pregnancy-safe exercise; Diastasis rehabilitation; Scar tissue release; Return-to-running postnatal **Q: Is internal examination always needed?** A: No. It is offered, explained, and only done with your explicit consent. Many plans progress without one. **Q: When can I start postnatal physio?** A: Gentle assessment from 6 weeks post-vaginal or 8 weeks post-Caesarean. Earlier if cleared by your OB. ### Men's Health (https://disc-me.com/services/mens-health) *Supporting pelvic health to restore function, strength and overall well-being.* Our Men's Health service supports pelvic health to help restore function, strength and overall well-being. Specialists provide expert diagnosis and assessment, so treatment is tailored to address pain and dysfunction effectively.
