Move Better. Live Pain-Free.
Dr. Azhar Ayyub is an experienced physiotherapist with 18+ years of clinical expertise, helping patients overcome pain, restore mobility, and regain confidence through advanced physiotherapy — without medicine or surgery.
Conditions We Treat
Most patients who come to Dr Azhar Ayyub have already tried painkillers, rest, or a general physician’s advice without lasting relief. Below are the conditions he treats most often at Joint Care Clinic, based on his clinical focus and patient records.
Back Pain & Slip Disc
Kamar dard from poor posture, prolonged desk work, or a slipped disc — assessed and treated with manual therapy and targeted exercise, not just rest.
Neck Pain & Cervical Spondylosis
Gardan dard and nerve compression (cervical radiculopathy) from long screen hours, driving, or sleeping posture.
Sciatica
Shooting leg pain from a compressed sciatic nerve, treated with nerve mobilization and a structured home exercise plan.
Knee Pain & Osteoarthritis
Ghutnon ka dard from cartilage wear, common in patients over 45 — managed with strengthening, joint mobilization and gait correction.
Frozen Shoulder
Stiff, painful shoulder capsule restricting arm movement — treated with progressive mobilization to restore range of motion.
Sports & Weekend-Athlete Injuries
Cricket, football and gym-related sprains, strains and ligament injuries, common among Lahore’s weekend sports players.
Post-Surgery Rehabilitation
Structured recovery plans after orthopedic surgery to restore strength, mobility and confidence in daily movement.
Arthritis & Joint Stiffness
Including osteoarthritis and inflammatory joint conditions — pain and stiffness that is often worse in Lahore’s cold, smoggy winter months.
About Dr Azhar Ayyub
Dr Azhar Ayyub is a Consultant Physiotherapist at Joint Care Clinic, with 18 years of clinical experience in orthopedic and musculoskeletal physiotherapy. He graduated from King Edward Medical University (KEMU) and completed his Master’s degree in Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy (OMPT) from Riphah International University in 2016.
His clinical focus is musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions — from everyday back and neck pain to more complex cases such as ankylosing spondylitis, fibromyalgia, frozen shoulder, scoliosis and osteoarthritis. His treatment approach combines hands-on manual therapy and dry needling with precise diagnosis, rather than relying on generic exercise sheets alone. Patients consistently describe him as thorough — he examines the actual cause of pain before starting treatment, instead of treating symptoms in isolation.

Areas We Regularly Treat Patients From
Why Location Matters for Recovery
Physiotherapy works best with consistent, regular sessions — not one visit and a long gap. A clinic that’s a short, manageable drive from home or office in Garden Town, Model Town, or Township makes it realistic to actually complete a treatment plan instead of missing sessions due to Lahore’s traffic.
Lahore’s Weather & Your Joint Pain
Patients in Lahore consistently notice that joint and back pain gets worse during the winter smog season (roughly November to February), when cold, damp air and reduced outdoor activity can increase stiffness in arthritic and previously-injured joints. If your pain flares up every winter, that pattern is worth mentioning during your assessment — it helps shape a more targeted treatment plan rather than a generic one.
Sitting, Commuting & Desk-Job Pain
A large share of the back and neck pain seen at the clinic comes from long hours at a desk, extended commutes on Lahore’s busy roads, and poor posture during motorbike or car travel — not a single injury. Correcting posture and building supporting muscle strength is often as important as treating the pain itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens in the first physiotherapy session?
Dr Azhar reviews your medical history, asks about your pain pattern, and performs a hands-on physical assessment of movement, strength, and posture. Based on this, he explains the likely cause of your pain and outlines a treatment plan before starting any hands-on treatment.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
This depends entirely on your condition, how long you’ve had it, and how your body responds to treatment. Some patients feel meaningful relief within a few sessions; more chronic or post-surgical cases typically need a longer, structured plan. Your exact number of sessions will be discussed after your first assessment.
Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist?
No referral is required to book a consultation with Dr Azhar Ayyub. You can come directly for assessment and treatment of back pain, neck pain, joint pain, or a sports injury.
Is physiotherapy effective for back pain (kamar dard)?
Yes — physiotherapy is a well-established, first-line treatment for most mechanical back pain, including pain from poor posture, muscle strain, and slipped disc, when the underlying cause is properly diagnosed. It’s not a one-size-fits-all stretch routine; treatment is built around what’s actually causing your pain.
How long does a physiotherapy session last?
Session length varies by condition and treatment type, and will be confirmed with you at booking or during your first visit at the clinic.
What is the consultation fee?
The consultation fee at Joint Care Clinic, Garden Town, is Rs. 3,000.
What days and hours is the clinic open?
Joint Care Clinic is open Monday to Saturday. Please call or WhatsApp 0328 6000610 to confirm same-day availability and exact timing before you visit.
Does physiotherapy help with sciatica pain that runs down the leg?
Sciatica caused by nerve compression in the lower back often responds well to targeted manual therapy and nerve-mobilization exercises. Dr Azhar assesses the source of nerve compression first, since sciatica treatment differs depending on the underlying cause.
