At The Spine Foundation, we are immensely proud to associate with Dr. Aaditya Kashikar, a renowned spine surgeon in Mumbai and Thane, whose passion for spinal well-being reaches far beyond the operating theatre. With more than 14 years of experience, he has an expertise in minimally invasive spine surgery, treatment of sciatica and back pain, spinal deformities and limb weakness care. But what sets Dr. Kashikar apart is his absolute dedication to making spine care universally available. Through his experience with underserved populations, he has witnessed firsthand how limited awareness and budget constraints keep many from receiving timely treatment. That’s why he is so vigorously promoting mobile clinics and free spine consultations, that those in rural and lower-income urban communities get the help they deserve.
As an Associate Spine Surgeon at Lilavati and Breach Candy Hospital, he provides world-class experience to his patients while constantly breaking new ground in spine research. His work in spine tumours, plasmacytoma treatment and spinal decompression techniques has been acknowledged at renowned conferences such as ASSICON, WIROC and BSSCON.
A proud member of the North American Spine Society (NASS), Bombay Spine Club (BSC) and AO Spine, Dr. Kashikar is always at the cutting edge of spinal health advancements. Apart from his clinical skills, his holistic approach to the care of the spine makes him stand out. He is a proponent of trying out non-surgical options whenever possible, taking his patients through customized recovery programs focused on long-term health. His patients call him not only a doctor but a tender healer, one who listens, comforts and encourages them along the way of recovery.
At The Spine Foundation, we have seen firsthand the life-changing power of Dr. Kashikar’s work. Whether it’s bringing mobility back to a patient in chronic pain or teaching communities about spinal health, his vision is simple—to make quality spine care a reality for all, not just a privilege for a select few.
Point Of View
"Creating Sustainable Models for Healthcare Access Innovation"
In my practice as a spine surgeon, I have witnessed the challenges faced by underserved communities in accessing healthcare. Many individuals suffer from spinal issues without the means to seek treatment. My commitment is to ensure that everyone has access to the care they need.
Through collaborative efforts with NGOs and local healthcare providers, I aim to organize free spine clinics in rural and urban areas. By pooling resources and expertise, we can create a sustainable model of care that meets the needs of these communities.
Furthermore, I focus on educating individuals about spinal health, emphasizing the importance of early intervention and preventive measures. By empowering communities with knowledge, we can foster a culture of health awareness and proactive care. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those we serve.

"A message for society from The Spine Foundation"
The Spine Foundation aims to provide the best spine care to the rural, tribal, and poor in urban areas of India. It was Founded by Dr. Shekhar Bhojraj, who believes that there is a critical gap of service in health care for this segment of patients who understand their spine health care needs but are usually ill-equipped with information or economic resources to access quality services. The Spine Foundation provides free medical consultations, treatments, and surgeries for different spinal conditions. Indeed, such spinal conditions can affect quality of life pretty seriously.
The foundation services include direct medical care, education, and preventive awareness of spinal health, education of communities to take preventive measures, and building sustainable healthcare in remote areas. The organization aims at empowering the individual and community to take control of their spine health instead of just treating it. With caring service and expert medical interventions, The Spine Foundation envisions a future where all individuals can receive quality spine care.
Together, we can create a healthier future by ensuring that every individual, regardless of their background or location, has access to quality spine care. Let’s work towards empowering the rural, tribal, and urban poor with the treatment and knowledge they need for a pain-free life.
