Best Spine Hospital in Bangalore

Overview

The Sakra Institute of Spine Surgery, recognized as a spine specialist hospital in Bangalore, is one of the finest tertiary care centers for spinal diseases in India. The unit is headed by Consultant Dr. N. Chandrashekar and Associate Consultant Dr. Ramachandran Govindasamy.

The centre has a strong focus on clinical and basic science research and has been an AOSPINE-recognized centre for the last 2 years. As the best spine hospital in Bangalore, it has proudly received numerous national and international awards for its excellence in spine care.

Spine disorders can be effectively treated by medications and physiotherapy. However, when all other treatment options fail to restore back normalcy, spine surgery becomes the only solution for chronic back pain and other back-related problems that cause severe immobility and reduced quality of life.

Spinal surgeries are extremely specialized procedures that require both skill & advanced technology. The state-of-the-art operations theatres, advanced ICUs, and superior quality equipment like Neuro-monitoring, High-resolution Intraoperative CT image intensifier (C-AM), and 3-Tesla MRI have made surgeries safer, faster, and more efficient.

Sakra’s conservative approach uses pain intervention and superior neuro rehab therapy when possible and minimally-invasive spine surgery when crucial. This has helped us heal thousands of spinal disorders, thus making us the Best Spine Surgery Centers in India.
