Sports Injury and Gonstead Chiropractor in Dubai

Sports injuries, treated properly

If you are looking for a sports injury chiropractor in Dubai, Frank Free brings 27 years of clinical experience to Emirates European Medical Centre in Umm Suqeim. He has treated thousands of patients around the world with spine, knee and joint pain, and has advanced training in sports medicine chiropractic, caring for sports injuries at every level, from professional athletes to weekend warriors. Every case starts the same way: a careful assessment to find the real cause before any treatment begins.

The Gonstead Method

Frank has practised the Gonstead Method for more than 20 years and uses it exclusively in his daily practice. Gonstead is known for its precision: rather than adjusting broadly, it uses detailed analysis to identify the exact level of the spine that is causing trouble and correct only that. Patients who prefer a specific, measured style of adjusting tend to seek it out.

Knee pain and the Total Knee Recovery programme

Knee pain is one of the most common complaints in adults over 45, and many people are told surgery is their only option. Frank developed the clinic’s Total Knee Recovery programme, which combines advanced non-surgical knee treatment methods into a single structured plan. It has helped many patients recover from chronic knee pain and, in suitable cases, avoid surgery altogether.

Discs, posture and lasting change

For bulging, herniated and so-called slipped discs, Frank has advanced clinical training in Cox flexion-distraction and non-surgical spinal decompression, two of the most researched non-surgical approaches to disc care, and combines them with Class IV laser therapy. He has also worked as a posture correction specialist for over 17 years, helping children and adults address the poor posture behind so much chronic neck pain, shoulder pain and headaches. As a certified health coach, he backs treatment with practical lifestyle guidance so results last.

From the football field to the clinic

Frank played university football at the University of Memphis, where he completed his Bachelor of Science, and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic from Life University in Atlanta, Georgia, followed by a clinical residency at North Clinic, one of the region’s largest public health facilities. He is a veteran of the United States Air Force and received the National Defence Service Medal for his service during Operation Desert Storm. He has also taught anatomical sciences to students entering the health professions, and is a member of the Emirates Chiropractic Association. Outside the clinic you will find him on the tennis court, scuba diving or travelling.
