When your back needs room to heal.

Deciding on spinal surgery to relieve nerve pain is a major step toward reclaiming your life. Shifara Health exists so that decision, and everything around it, is never yours to carry alone.

Lumbar Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to treat a herniated or slipped disc in the lower back. Through a small incision, specialized surgical microscopes are used to remove the small piece of disc material pressing on your spinal nerves.
It is a commonly performed spine procedure, used to relieve leg or sciatic pain caused by nerve compression with limited tissue disruption.

Spine centres in India use micro-surgical equipment to perform microdiscectomies, often at a lower cost than in many other countries. Hospital stays are typically short, and care is provided by trained spine surgeons.
How Shifara Health supports you from your first message to your return home.
We review your spine MRIs, connect you with spine specialists, and manage your visa, travel, and hospital admission. You come prepared, not piecing things together on arrival.
Someone from our team is there. Your surgeon, your hospital, your room, already in place. You arrive as a patient who is expected and cared for.
From your pre-operative assessment through micro-surgery and early mobility checks, our team stays close. We are the steady presence between you, your surgical team, and your family back home.
Microdiscectomy recovery requires careful post-operative movement. We coordinate your specialized physiotherapy, ergonomic guidance, return travel when you are cleared, and ongoing teleconsultations after you are home. We do not step away at discharge.
