QUESTIONS
Answers to the questions patients ask most before their first appointment.
Do I need surgery for a slip disc?
Not always. Many slip disc and disc bulge problems can be managed without surgery once the exact cause is found. At Al Mualij we assess your spine, movement and MRI reports first, then explain your options honestly — including when a surgical opinion is the right next step.
Do you treat sciatica without surgery?
Yes — sciatica is one of the most common reasons people visit us. We first find whether the pain comes from a disc, a tight piriformis muscle, or something else, because the treatment is different for each. Then we build a step-by-step recovery plan.
What is Ilaj Bil Yad?
Ilaj Bil Yad is hands-on structural correction in the Unani tradition — careful assessment of the spine and joints, then gentle manual correction to restore alignment, mobility and posture. No surgery, no injections. It is part of a wider recovery plan that also covers diet, lifestyle and herbal care.
How is Unani medicine used for back pain?
In Tibb-e-Unani, back pain is understood through temperament (Mizaj), lifestyle, diet and the state of the spine together. Care combines Ilaj-bil-Ghiza (diet), Ilaj-bil-Tadbeer (lifestyle measures), Ilaj-bil-Yad (structural correction) and Ilaj-bil-Dawa (herbal medicine) — matched to the individual patient.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the condition and how long you have had it. Recent pain often needs fewer sessions; long-standing problems need a longer plan. Your practitioner will give you an honest estimate after your first assessment — we do not sell fixed packages before examining you.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Bring any recent X-rays, MRI or CT reports, a list of medicines you take, and comfortable clothes you can move in. If you have old reports, bring those too — they help us see how the problem has changed over time.
What are your timings? Are you open on Friday?
We are open every day, Monday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM — including Friday. Appointments are by booking: message us on WhatsApp at +92 333 5166160 and the clinic will confirm your slot.
How do I book an appointment?
Message us on WhatsApp at +92 333 5166160 with your name and a short note about your problem. The clinic reviews the request and confirms your appointment. You can also visit us at F-670, New Katariyan, F-Block, Satellite Town, Rawalpindi (opposite the Post Office, New Katariyan Chungi).
Can I consult online instead of visiting?
Yes. Choose “Online — Video / WhatsApp Consultation” in the booking form. Online consultations cover assessment, report review and diet/herbal planning; hands-on treatments (Ilaj-bil-Yad — including Dalak — and Hijama) require a clinic visit.
What does treatment cost?
Consultation and program costs depend on your condition and the plan set after assessment. The clinic confirms all charges with you before treatment begins — no surprises, no pre-sold packages.
Call or WhatsApp +92 333 5166160, or email info@matibalmualij.com — the clinic replies personally.
Open daily, Monday–Sunday, 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM.
Appointment slots: Morning 10 AM – 1 PM · Afternoon 1 – 4 PM · Evening 5 – 9 PM.
