About Elie Ayoub
An Arabic speaking chiropractor in Dubai
For many patients, describing pain accurately is half the battle. As a fluent speaker of Arabic, English and French, Elie Ayoub is an Arabic speaking chiropractor in Dubai who lets you explain your symptoms, and understand your diagnosis, in the language you think in. With 26 years of experience treating patients of all ages and backgrounds, he has built his reputation on the cases other treatments left behind.
When standard adjustments have not worked
Elie specialises in stubborn, chronic musculoskeletal pain and headaches that have not responded to standard joint manipulation. Over the years he has developed a concentrated soft tissue manual release technique, working directly on muscle, tendon and ligament, which he combines with precise spinal adjusting and dry needling where appropriate. This combination works particularly well for extremity pain and paraesthesia, posture and gait problems, chronic unrelenting headaches, dizziness, TMJ and jaw conditions, and typical neck and back pain.
Who Elie helps
His patients range from office workers with desk-bound back pain to professional athletes, and especially older patients and anyone reluctant to receive the standard adjustment. Because his soft tissue approach is gentle and targeted, it suits people who want relief without forceful manipulation. Every plan starts with a thorough assessment, so treatment addresses the cause of the pain rather than chasing symptoms.
From New York to Beirut to Dubai
Elie completed a Bachelor’s degree in Biology at Brooklyn College, New York, and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic from New York Chiropractic College in 1999. He is certified by the United States National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and the New Jersey State Board, and practised in New Jersey for four years before returning to Beirut in 2004, where he served the Lebanese community for 17 years. Since joining Emirates European Medical Centre in Dubai in 2022, he has brought that accumulated expertise to patients across the city, many of whom come to him specifically for care in Arabic or French.
A commitment to keeping current
Elie invests his spare time travelling to chiropractic seminars around the world, continually expanding his clinical knowledge so his patients benefit from current, evidence-informed techniques.

Common questions
Can I have my consultation in Arabic?
Yes. Elie consults fluently in Arabic, English and French, so you can describe your symptoms and ask questions in whichever language is most comfortable. This matters clinically: an accurate history leads to an accurate diagnosis. Many Arabic and French speaking patients across Dubai choose him for exactly this reason. Simply mention your preferred language when booking.
What is soft tissue release and how is it different from an adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment works on the joints of the spine. Soft tissue release works directly on the muscles, tendons and ligaments around them. Elie has developed a concentrated manual release technique over 26 years, and combines it with adjusting when needed. It is particularly useful for stubborn pain that has not responded to joint manipulation alone.
I have tried chiropractic before and it did not help. Is it worth trying again?
Possibly, because not all chiropractic care is the same. Elie specialises in exactly these cases: chronic pain and headaches that have not responded to standard manipulation. His assessment-first approach and soft tissue techniques offer a genuinely different treatment route. If he does not believe he can help you, he will say so and point you in the right direction.
Is this approach suitable for elderly patients?
Yes. Elie’s gentle soft tissue technique is especially well suited to older patients and to anyone hesitant about forceful adjustments. Treatment is drug-free and adapted to your age, bone health and medical history, all reviewed in a careful assessment first. Many of his longest-standing patients are seniors seeking to stay mobile and independent.
Do I need a referral to see Elie in Dubai?
No referral is needed. You can book directly, and same-day appointments are often available. The clinic is open every day from 8:30am to 7pm, at Villa 119, Al Thanya Street, Umm Suqeim 2. Our team can also help you check your insurance coverage before your visit.
