Member of the Association of Spine Surgeons of India
Advanced Spine Fellowship (The Spine Foundation, Mumbai)
At The Spine Foundation, we are privileged to partner with Dr. Nishant Kumar, a well-known spine surgeon with more than 17 years of experience with expertise in minimally invasive spine surgery and spinal deformity correction. His dedication to providing cutting-edge spine care to underserved populations has revolutionized the lives of thousands in Jharkhand, Maharashtra and more.
Dr. Kumar shares his knowledge in free spine camps and outreach missions, making patients with backache, spinal injury and severe deformities undergo quality consultation and surgical treatment—without the imposition of financial hardships. His focus on endoscopic spine surgery and treatment of spinal tuberculosis has benefited many who may have otherwise been left untreated.
Aside from his proficiency in surgery, his overall practice focuses on educating patients and offering conservative treatments. He firmly believes that most spine conditions can be treated without surgery through correct diagnosis, lifestyle modifications and early intervention. His commitment to spinal health awareness programs empowers others to make an educated decision on their own well-being.
Dr. Kumar’s research work in spine surgery is well known, with published work in top medical journals on decision-making in minimally invasive spine procedures, annulo-nucleoplasty, and long-term outcomes of spinal fusions. His skill has also placed him as faculty at national and international spine conferences, where he imparts his knowledge to the future generation of spine surgeons.
Even with his vast experience working as a spine consultant in Medanta, Bhagwan Mahavir Medica Hospital and among top hospitals in Mumbai, he is still very passionate about extending services to patients in rural areas. Moving between Mumbai, Ranchi, Jamshedpur and Dhanbad, he guarantees continuity of treatment so that patients can get the same quality treatment despite being far apart.
Dr. Nishant Kumar’s commitment to innovative yet affordable spine care, patient empowerment and ongoing innovation is perfectly in line with our purpose. His practice isn’t about conducting surgeries—it’s about bringing back mobility, dignity and hope to those who need it most.
Point Of View
"Restoring Mobility and Hope to Underserved Patients"
In my role as a spine surgeon, I see firsthand the challenges faced by underserved communities in accessing healthcare. Many individuals suffer from spinal disorders without the means to seek treatment. My commitment is to ensure that everyone has access to the care they need.
Through outreach programs, I provide free spine consultations and surgeries, addressing the unique challenges faced by these populations. It’s essential to not only treat patients but also educate them about spinal health and preventive care. Empowering individuals with knowledge enables them to take charge of their health.
I believe that lasting change comes from collaboration. By partnering with local healthcare providers, we can build a sustainable model of care that addresses the needs of these communities. Together, we can create a healthier future for all, where everyone has access to the care they deserve.
We Are With You
"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.
