Americans pay up to $100,000 for spinal fusion. At our internationally accredited partner hospitals in India and Türkiye, the same procedure — with the same implant systems — costs a fraction of that, with no waitlists, no insurance denials, and a dedicated Case Manager by your side from first contact to full recovery.

More than 80% of Americans will experience debilitating back pain at some point in their lives. For those who need surgical intervention — a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or scoliosis — the cost of care in the U.S. can reach $100,000 or more, with months-long waitlists and no guarantee of insurance coverage.
Our partner hospitals in India and Türkiye offer the same spine surgical techniques, navigation systems, and implant brands as leading U.S. spine centers — at 80–90% lower cost, with internationally trained surgeons, English-speaking teams, and a dedicated Case Manager coordinating every step of your journey.

From minimally invasive microdiscectomy to complex scoliosis correction and sports ligament reconstruction — our partner centers cover the full surgical spectrum.
Artificial disc replacement (ADR) for the cervical and lumbar spine — preserving motion and eliminating the drawbacks of fusion for appropriate candidates.
Single and multi-level spinal fusion using internationally certified pedicle screw and rod systems — stabilising the spine and eliminating instability-related pain.
Minimally invasive removal of herniated disc material compressing spinal nerves — typically returning patients to mobility within days, with a short hospital stay.
Surgical decompression of the spinal canal for stenosis — relieving pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, reducing pain and restoring function.
Ultra-minimally invasive endoscopic approach to discectomy and foraminal decompression — smaller than a 1 cm incision, local anaesthesia option, same-day discharge possible.
Corrective surgery for adolescent and adult scoliosis using modern spinal instrumentation — including minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques at select centers.
Arthroscopic ACL, PCL, and multi-ligament reconstruction for active patients — performed by sports medicine fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons.
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, SLAP labrum repair, and shoulder stabilisation surgery — minimally invasive techniques with structured sports rehabilitation from day one.
