Chronic back pain, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and scoliosis affect millions of people worldwide. When conservative treatment fails and surgery becomes necessary, the cost in Western countries is often prohibitive. India offers the same surgical expertise, the same implants, and the same outcomes — at a fraction of the price.

From minimally invasive discectomy to complex multi-level spinal fusion with robotic assistance, India's leading spine centres handle the full spectrum of spinal conditions for international patients from Nigeria, UAE, Kenya, and beyond.

"I had been living with severe lumbar stenosis for 3 years. Surgery in the UK would have cost £45,000 and had an 18-month wait. indiCare connected me to Apollo Chennai — I had surgery within 2 weeks of arriving and walked out of hospital 4 days later."— Mr. Yusuf A., London — Lumbar decompression patient, Apollo Chennai, 2025
