Before & After Infiltration (Injection Therapy)

Before Infiltration
  • Initial Assessment: Dr. Yaacoub will examine you and review your imaging to confirm the diagnosis.
  • Clear Instructions: Inform us of any medications, allergies, or if you are pregnant.
  • No Fasting Required: You can eat normally before the injection; this is an outpatient procedure.
  • Wear Comfortable Clothing: Loose-fitting clothes allow easy access to the treated area (e.g., shoulder, knee, or back).
After Infiltration
  • Immediate Relief or Gradual Improvement: Some patients feel better within hours; others notice relief over a few days.
  • Mild Soreness: Temporary swelling or discomfort at the injection site is normal and usually resolves in 1–2 days.
  • Activity Restrictions: You may be advised to rest the area for 24–48 hours. Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity.
  • Resume Normal Activities: Most patients return to work and light activity the same or the next day.
  • Physical Therapy: May be recommended shortly after the injection to maintain mobility and strengthen the area.
When to Expect Results
  • Cortisone Injections: Relief within 24–72 hours.
  • PRP Injections: Gradual improvement over 2–6 weeks as healing takes place.

Integrated Rehabilitation

Integrated Rehabilitation with My Expert Physical Therapy Team

Your recovery doesn’t end in the operating room; it continues with a structured, results-driven rehabilitation program. That’s why I work hand-in-hand with a dedicated team of physical therapists who are part of my practice in Doha, Dubai, and Beirut. Each therapist is highly trained and experienced in orthopedic rehabilitation, and we share the same commitment to precision, communication, and patient-centered care. 

Together, we design personalized recovery plans based on your surgery or condition, using evidence-based protocols and state-of-the-art rehabilitation technology. This close collaboration ensures that every phase of your recovery — from early mobilization to strength and functional training — is handled with the same attention to detail and medical insight that guided your diagnosis and treatment.

By working as one cohesive unit, we significantly reduce recovery time, optimize functional outcomes, and help you get back to your normal life safely, efficiently, and with lasting results.

Comprehensive, Personalized Care from Start to Full Recovery

What sets my practice apart is the continuity of care I offer — from the very first consultation to the final stages of recovery. Whether you need a targeted infiltration, a minimally invasive procedure, or a complex surgical intervention, every step is handled with precision and personal attention. I don’t just perform the treatment — I personally oversee your rehabilitation, working closely with my in-house team of physical therapists to ensure a safe, efficient, and lasting recovery. This full-spectrum approach means you’re supported at every stage, with one trusted team guiding your journey back to pain-free movement and better quality of life.
