Spine & Deformity Care in Chennai
Expert Evaluation for Back Pain, Neck Pain & Postural Deformities
Spine problems can affect every part of life—sitting, standing, walking, sleeping, and working comfortably. Back pain or neck pain is common, but not all spine pain is the same. Some conditions improve with physiotherapy and posture correction, while others require detailed evaluation and advanced treatment planning.
Dr. Nikhil Jawaharlal Nahar provides comprehensive Spine & Deformity Care, focusing on accurate diagnosis, patient education, and personalised treatment guidance. With strong orthopaedic training and international clinical experience, patients receive evidence-based recommendations designed to relieve pain, improve function, and prevent long-term complications.
✅ The first goal is always: identify the cause and choose the right treatment path.
When Should You Consult for Spine Problems?
You should consider an orthopaedic spine consultation if you experience:
- Persistent back pain or neck pain
- Pain that increases while sitting, bending, or standing
- Stiffness in the neck or lower back
- Pain radiating to arms or legs (shooting pain / sciatica)
- Tingling, numbness, or weakness in limbs
- Postural issues or visible curvature of the spine
- Difficulty walking or poor balance due to spine problems
- Long-term pain not improving with rest or medications
Key Services
Back Pain & Neck Pain Evaluation
Most spine pain begins due to:
- Poor posture
- Muscle strain or spasm
- Disc-related issues
- Nerve irritation
- Degenerative spine conditions
A structured spine evaluation helps identify whether the issue is muscular, disc-related, or nerve-related—so treatment becomes accurate and effective.
Sciatica & Nerve Pain Management
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates from the lower back into the buttock and leg due to nerve irritation or compression.
Common symptoms include:
- Shooting pain down the leg
- Tingling or numbness
- Weakness during walking
- Pain worsening while sitting
Treatment is personalised and may include:
- Pain management
- Physiotherapy and stretching plan
- Imaging-based diagnosis
- Referral for advanced intervention when needed
Degenerative Spine Conditions
Over time, spinal joints and discs can wear down, leading to stiffness, pain, or reduced flexibility.
Care may include:
- Posture correction
- Core strengthening
- Activity modification
- Supportive rehabilitation
- Long-term spine health guidance
Spinal Deformity Assessment
Some individuals experience spinal curvature or posture-related deformities such as:
- Scoliosis
- Kyphosis (hunchback posture)
- Postural imbalances
- Leg length difference causing pelvic tilt
Early assessment helps plan corrective rehabilitation and long-term spine protection.
Non-Surgical Spine Care
Many spine conditions improve without surgery, especially when treated early. Non-surgical care may include:
- Physiotherapy guidance
- Core strengthening
- Pain control measures
- Ergonomic advice for work & daily routine
- Lifestyle and posture correction strategies
✅ The focus is long-term improvement, not temporary relief.

Recently we had a shoulder and hip surgery for my dad done through Dr Nikhil. He is very polite and shares the surgery procedures and outcomes in detail. Not only during surgery, he constantly follows up post surgery as well to check the health status of the patient and provides the right guidance for faster recovery. Took the right decision to have surgery for my dad done through him. Thank you Dr Nikhil.

I recently had the occasion of consulting Dr. Nikhil, who comes across as a close relative. Although this review might seem motivated, his advice helped me with my long standing issue with respect to having a flat feet. The treatment plan that he suggested and after following it with utmost patience, I can say that he has helped me cure something chronic in the lightest form possible. His approach to my predicament is commendable and I cannot stress on how anyone dealing with ortho related issues should consult him once. Thank you, doc!
