Our multidisciplinary team is dedicated to restoring mobility, relieving pain, and improving quality of life through personalized, evidence-based care.
IndoSpine is the only spine hospital in Ahmedabad performing digital spine surgery in the true sense built around Gujarat’s first O-arm® O2® real-time 3D imaging and navigation system. Led by Dr. Tarak Patel, our spine and pain management specialists have guided over 60,000 OPD consultations and 6,000+ spine surgeries, treating everything from herniated discs to complex spinal deformities.
“Your Spine’s Only Choice: IndoSpine” that’s what people across Ahmedabad say when they’re searching for the best spine hospital in Gujarat. It’s become shorthand for one thing: IndoSpine is the only spine hospital in the city offering true digital spine surgery.
Digital spine surgery means every procedure is guided by real-time 3D imaging instead of relying on 2D X-rays or surgeon judgment alone. The O-arm O2 system scans the spine during surgery itself, so Dr. Tarak Patel can navigate with sub-millimeter precision reducing the chances of a revision surgery and shortening recovery time.
Dr. Tarak Patel, best spine surgeon in Ahmedabad, performs spine tumor surgery, neck pain surgery, back pain surgery, and spine fracture surgery using the O-arm O2 system — technology most corporate hospitals in the region don’t have.
Dr. Tarak Patel , Founder & Head Spine Surgeon
Every spine consultation at IndoSpine starts with a physical and neurological examination, followed by a review of your clinical history and current symptoms. Our spine and pain management specialists use this assessment to build a personalized treatment plan before surgery is ever recommended, we rule out every non-surgical option that could help.
Not every spine or musculoskeletal problem needs surgery. IndoSpine’s pain management program is a non-surgical care path designed to first identify the exact source of your neck or back pain, then treat it directly. For many patients, this is the only treatment they need; for others, it’s the first step before a surgical consultation.
Spine surgery has a reputation for complications and inconsistent results often because it’s performed without real-time imaging. At IndoSpine, every surgery is guided by a 3D intraoperative navigation system, the O-arm O2, which lets Dr. Tarak Patel see the spine in real time during the procedure instead of relying on pre-operative scans alone. That precision is what drives our low-complication track record across 6,000+ surgeries.
Gujarat's First O-arm® O2® Machine
Machine Available at IndoSpine Hospital for the first time at Spine Hospital in Gujarat.
IndoSpine was the first spine hospital in Gujarat to bring in the O-arm® O2® system an intraoperative 2D/3D imaging and navigation platform used during surgery itself, not just before it. It lets Dr. Tarak Patel see the exact position of the spine and instruments in real time while operating, instead of relying on scans taken days earlier.

Low back pain is one of the most common spine conditions, affecting people of all ages. It's usually caused by poor posture, muscle strain, disc problems, or age-related wear and tear of the spine.
Thoracic myelopathy is a spinal cord disorder in the mid-back region caused by compression, leading to symptoms like weakness, numbness, and difficulty walking
Spondylolisthesis is a spinal condition in which one vertebra slips forward over the one below it, leading to back pain, stiffness, and sometimes nerve-related symptoms.
Cervical spine fractures and dislocations are serious neck injuries caused by trauma or accidents.
Spine infections are rare but serious conditions that cause inflammation in the spinal tissues, leading to pain, fever, and potential nerve problems
Spine tumors are abnormal growths in or around the spinal cord or vertebrae. They can press on nerves, leading to pain, weakness, and neurological symptoms.
A cervical spine infection affects the neck area of the spine, causing pain and stiffness. It is often associated with fever and inflammation, which can limit neck movement.
A spinal cord injury occurs when damage to the spinal cord disrupts nerve signals, leading to weakness, loss of sensation, or paralysis
Neck pain is a common spine problem often caused by poor posture, muscle strain, or underlying conditions, and can affect daily activities
Canal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal in the lumbar or cervical region, leading to pressure on nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness
Osteoporosis weakens bones, making the spine more prone to osteoporotic fractures, which can cause severe pain, deformity, and mobility issues
Spine deformities such as kyphosis and scoliosis involve abnormal curvature of the spine, which can cause pain, posture problems, and breathing difficulties
