THE PRACTICE
PRACTICE INTRODUCTION
Dr. Shrinath Viswanath is an orthopedic spine surgeon based in Pune, consulting at Koregaon Park Clinic and Apollo Clinic, with surgical work at Sahyadri Hospital and Ruby Hall Clinic. His clinical focus is the spine — its conditions, its treatment, and where possible, its non-surgical management.
Trained in orthopedic surgery at MGM Medical College, Navi Mumbai, and shaped in spine care by some of the discipline’s more rigorous practitioners, Dr. Viswanath brings a foundational understanding of the full musculoskeletal system to every spine evaluation. The spine is not a structure in isolation — and he treats it accordingly.
Surgery is one part of what this practice offers, and it is recommended only when conservative care has been genuinely exhausted. The decision to operate — and the choice of surgeon — belongs entirely to the patient. That principle guides every consultation.

Learn More →THE APPROACH
Navigation-Assisted Surgery
The Medtronic StealthStation Navigation System enables intraoperative imaging and real-time guidance during complex spinal procedures. It reduces reliance on anatomical landmarks alone and allows greater precision in implant placement and decompression.
Minimally Invasive Technique
Where clinically appropriate, procedures are performed through smaller incisions with reduced disruption to surrounding muscle and tissue. This approach is associated with shorter hospital stays, lower blood loss, and a more targeted recovery.
Medtronic O-arm Intraoperative Imaging
The O-arm provides three-dimensional intraoperative imaging that allows the surgical team to verify positioning and anatomy in real time — without moving the patient to a separate imaging suite. It is used in conjunction with the StealthStation navigation system.
Conservative-First Decision Making
Surgery is recommended only when non-surgical management — physiotherapy, pain management, activity modification — has been adequately trialled and has not produced sufficient improvement. The threshold for surgical recommendation is clinical, not commercial.
ORTHOPEDIC CARE
Spine problems rarely exist independently of the broader musculoskeletal system. Complaints that present in the hip, knee, or lower limb often trace back to spinal origin — and misattributing them leads to misdirected treatment.
Dr. Viswanath’s training in orthopedic surgery provides the diagnostic foundation to evaluate the full picture before reaching a conclusion. Orthopedic care at this practice is not a secondary service — it is the clinical grounding that makes spine evaluation more accurate.
ACUTE PATIENT
Experiencing sudden pain, numbness, or weakness?
If something has changed recently — a sharp onset of back pain, leg weakness, or a sensation you haven’t felt before — understanding what is happening is the first step. Start with the conditions section.
CHRONIC PATIENT
Managing a long-term spine condition?
If you have been living with a spine condition for months or years and are now considering your options more seriously, the conditions and procedures sections are written for you — with the level of detail you are probably looking for.
REFERRED PATIENT
Referred by your GP or specialist?
If you are here because someone you trust has recommended a consultation, the next step is straightforward. Bring any imaging or reports you have, and we will take it from there.
1. Book
Contact the clinic by phone, online form, or WhatsApp. Bring any existing imaging or reports — helpful but not required for a first appointment.
2. Consult
In-person consultations at Koregaon Park Clinic or Apollo Clinic. Allow 30–45 minutes. You are welcome to bring a family member.
3. Care Plan
Following your evaluation, a structured plan will be discussed — conservative management, further investigation, or surgical options
Consultations are in person. Prior imaging is helpful but not required for a first visit.
