Best Spine Surgeon in Mumbai
Dr. Amit Sharma is one of the best spine surgeon in Mumbai practicing spine surgery in Mumbai, India since 2011. He treats spinal problems related to cervical, thoracic and lumbo-sacral area (neck, upper back and lower back).
He was trained for Orthopaedic Surgery at the prestigious KEM Hospital, Mumbai, India. During his three years of training in USA, Dr. Sharma was trained at best hospital for spine surgery in USA (Hospital for Special Surgery , New York) for degenerative spine problems and spinal deformity (Scoliosis and Kyphosis) correction surgeries. Dr. Sharma also did one year of exclusive pediatric orthopaedic work at Children’s Hospital, New Orleans, USA where he was trained for pediatric spinal surgeries.
Dr. Sharma works at best hospitals for spine surgery in Mumbai, which are well equipped with latest spine surgery techniques. As a spine specialist, he aims to provide an accurate diagnosis and formulates best spine treatment plan for his patients. A non-surgical treatment is tried initially for all patients. Spine surgery is done when non-surgical treatment fails to provide adequate relief to the patient. He specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery, cervical spine surgery, spinal deformity correction (scoliosis, kyphosis), revision spine surgeries along with treatment for other common spinal disorders like slip disc, sciatica, spondylosis, spinal stenosis, spine fractures, spinal tuberculosis, spine infection, spondylolisthesis, and spine tumors etc.
Dr. Sharma is ranked amongst top 10 spine surgeons in Mumbai for the past few years. He is extensively involved in research in the field of orthopedic and spine surgery and has published many articles in international journals.

Spine Treatments
Back pain is one of the leading cause of disability worldwide with 60-80% of people experiencing back pain once during the course of their life.
Spinal injections are pain relieving procedures. A small mixture of steroid and local anesthetic is injected near painful pathology.
Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive spine surgery procedure. It is Gold Standard surgery for removal of disc herniation and is one of the most commonly done spine surgery.
Laminectomy is removal of posterior arch of vertebral ring. Laminectomy is done to achieve a more thorough decompression of the spinal cord.
Spinal fusion surgery involves joining two or more vertebrae together. This is done to prevent movement between adjacent vertebrae.
Lumbar interbody fusion involves complete discectomy and inserting a cage with bone graft between two vertebral bodies.
Cervical Spondylosis is a very common degenerative spine disorder. Mostly elderly people are affected; however, it can affect younger patients also.
A cervical laminectomy/ posterior cervical decompression surgery is required for various conditions.
Disc replacement surgery is implantation of a “mobile” device in intervertebral disc space after discectomy.
Bone cement injection in a fractured vertebra can provide pain relief. Vertebroplasty is cementing vertebral body with bone cement using needles.
Know Your Spine
Lower back pain is one of the most common health problem. At least 75-80% people suffer from significant back pain requiring some sort of treatment in their lifetime.
Neck pain is not as common as back pain, still it affects many people. It is usually a result of chronic wear and tear of cervical spine tissues.
Slip disc or back disc herniation is most common spinal disorder. Slip disc meaning is protrusion of part of the disc in spinal canal causing pressure on spinal cord and nerves.
Spinal stenosis is a condition in which the spinal canal, which carries the spinal cord and spinal nerves, get narrowed. This causes various symptoms due to pressure on nerve tissue.
Cervical Spondylosis or Cervical Spondylitis means arthritis of cervical vertebral joints (disc and facets). The cause of pain in cervical spondylosis is similar to knee arthritis.
Spondylolisthesis (spondylo= spine, listhesis= slip or slide) is a common spinal problem in which one vertebra slips forward on the vertebra below.
Osteoporosis is a bone disease in which basic framework of bone is weakened. There is associated lack of calcium in the bone.
Spine is most commonly affected bone by tuberculosis infection. It primarily affects thoracic spine; however, tuberculosis of lumbar spine, cervical spine and sacrum are not uncommon.
A tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue produced by controlled growth of cells. Tumor can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
