Dr Madelaine Franklin

Dr. Madelaine Franklin earned her Master’s Degree in Chiropractic from the Durban University of Technology in South Africa. She was a dedicated member of the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa and is registered with the Dubai Health Authority from 2015 Dr. Franklin is also an active contributor to the Emirates Chiropractic Association, where she served as a board member and secretary for four years, underscoring her commitment to advancing chiropractic care in the region.

Dr. Franklin’s journey into chiropractic began after she sustained a significant injury during a provincial squash tournament. Following months of physical therapy and discussions about spinal fusion, she sought an alternative solution. Her first chiropractic adjustment not only transformed her health but also ignited her passion for the field, motivating her to dedicate her life to helping others achieve a pain free life.

For five years, Dr. Franklin successfully managed her private chiropractic practice in South Africa before seizing an exciting opportunity to oversee a clinic with the TAGS Spine and Joint Specialist group in Malaysia. The commitment to clinical excellence and innovative spine and joint care at TAGS deeply inspired her engagement with this pioneering healthcare model.

With 20 years of experience treating disc bulges conservatively, Dr. Franklin is dedicated to providing effective, non-surgical solutions for her patients. She understands that in certain cases, collaboration is essential for optimal care. Therefore, she works closely with neurosurgeons within highly recommended doctors in Dubai including American Hospital, Kings Collage Hospital and Mediclinic Parkview, facilitating referrals for patients who may require pain management through facet joint injections or corrective surgery when conservative treatments are insufficient.

At TAGS, Dr. Franklin utilizes cutting-edge diagnostic technologies and therapeutic tools within an integrative framework that embraces both complementary and alternative healthcare methods. Disc injuries are not just a part of her practice; they are Dr. Franklin’s passion and the primary focus of her treatment approach. She is dedicated to understanding the complexities of disc-related conditions and finding effective solutions.

With extensive knowledge of the Chattanooga decompression table, Dr. Franklin employs this advanced technology to deliver targeted spinal decompression therapy. This method is instrumental in alleviating pressure on herniated or bulging discs, promoting healing and reducing pain. By carefully assessing each patient’s unique condition, she tailors the decompression treatment for maximum effectiveness.

In addition to spinal decompression, Dr. Franklin incorporates physiotherapy techniques to activate the core muscles, which are crucial for stabilizing the spine. This holistic approach aims to empower patients to break free from the cycle of pain and regain strength and function. By integrating these methods, Dr. Franklin not only addresses immediate discomfort but also equips her patients with the tools and confidence needed for long-term recovery and health.

After three fulfilling years at Pure European Chiropractic in Dubai Media City, Dr. Franklin realized her dream of founding the Franklin Chiropractic and Physiotherapy Center. Over the past eight years, her practice has evolved into a collaborative team of skilled chiropractors and physiotherapists from South Africa, Canada, and the Philippines, all dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care.
