~ Blending Innovation, Integrity, and Individualized Care for a Pain-Free Tomorrow
Mumbai, India – In a healthcare landscape often dominated by conventional surgical practices, Dr. Kunal Bhardwaj is quietly leading a transformative movement in spine care—where technology meets empathy, and precision meets prevention. At just 33 years old, this visionary orthopedic spine surgeon is not only healing pain but also redefining the way India views spine health.
As the Founder and Director of the Indian Spine Institute & Rehabilitation Centre (ISIRC), Dr. Bhardwaj offers a unique and comprehensive care model that seamlessly integrates non-surgical rehabilitation with cutting-edge minimally invasive spine procedures—making him one of the most forward-thinking leaders in Indian orthopedics today.
The Making of a Modern-Day Healer
Dr. Bhardwaj’s journey is rooted in values, vision, and voracious learning. Growing up in a humble middle-class family, with a retired schoolteacher as a father and a homemaker mother, he learned the importance of humility, patience, and service early in life.
After completing his MBBS from B.J. Medical College & Sassoon Hospital, Pune, he pursued a rigorous MS in Orthopedics from LTMMC & Sion Hospital, Mumbai, followed by advanced residency training at Rajawadi Government Hospital. His thirst for excellence led him to complete:
-
Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
-
Fellowship in Endoscopic & Microscopic Spine Surgery
-
Fellowship in Robotic Spine Surgery
-
Fellowship in Pain Management (Delhi)
Guided by stalwarts like Dr. Ashok Rathod and Dr. Vikas Gupte, Dr. Bhardwaj’s surgical acumen became deeply aligned with ethical, patient-centered care.
Revolutionizing Spine Treatment Through ISIRC
At the Indian Spine Institute & Rehabilitation Centre, Dr. Bhardwaj is changing the narrative around spine care by shifting the focus from “surgery-first” to “rehabilitation-first”. His institute is built on a profound yet simple belief:
“Spine care isn’t just about operating—it’s about understanding the root cause, addressing it early, and helping the patient recover fully, with or without surgery.”
With state-of-the-art diagnostics and technology-backed treatment systems, ISIRC specializes in:
-
Conservative, non-surgical rehabilitation
-
Robotic and endoscopic spine surgeries
-
Precision-guided pain management
-
Complex trauma and post-surgical corrections

By focusing on the 80% of patients who can avoid surgery with the right early intervention, Dr. Bhardwaj is creating a future where healing doesn’t always mean hospitalization.
