1. Emirates European Medical Centre

Having spent 16 years perfecting the art of chiropractic in Tuscany, Italy, Dr. Samuel Saukkonen and Dr. Pamela Leader decided to open their world-class chiropractic clinic right at the heart of Jumeirah. Instead of prescribing medicines, they take a more natural route and treat patients using Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. This practice helps the patient heal faster and provides relief to their pain. They also offer in-house massage services like Deep Tissue, Hot Stone and Sports massage, which are recommended by their certified doctors.
