I had severe sciatica for almost 6 months and was unable to sit for more than 20 minutes. Dr Shiva Kumar R at Manipal Clinic Budigere Cross evaluated my MRI in detail and recommended a conservative-first plan instead of immediate surgery. Within 6 weeks of guided physiotherapy and medication, my leg pain reduced drastically. Very balanced and practical approach.
I booked through HexaHealth for chronic lower back pain. Appointment was quick and seamless. Dr Shiva Kumar R explained the disc prolapse clearly and gave me a structured rehabilitation plan. No unnecessary scans or surgery pressure. Really appreciate the honesty.
ನನಗೆ ಹಲವು ತಿಂಗಳಿಂದ ಬೆನ್ನುನೋವು ಇತ್ತು. ಡಾ. ಶಿವಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರು ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಯನ್ನು ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ಗುರುತಿಸಿ ಸರಳ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ಮತ್ತು ವ್ಯಾಯಾಮಗಳನ್ನು ಸೂಚಿಸಿದರು. ಈಗ ನೋವು ಬಹಳ ಕಡಿಮೆಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಬುದಿಗೇರೆ ಕ್ರಾಸ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಉತ್ತಮ ಸ್ಪೈನ್ ವೈದ್ಯರು.
I had neck pain with numbness in my fingers. Dr Shiva Kumar carefully explained cervical disc prolapse and when surgery is actually needed. I am currently on a non-surgical management plan and seeing steady improvement. Very calm and reassuring doctor.
I was confused about where to go for my lumbar spinal stenosis. HexaHealth connected me to Dr Shiva Kumar R at Manipal Clinic. Consultation was structured and detailed. He gave me both surgical and non-surgical options with pros and cons. Felt fully informed before deciding.
After trying conservative care for over a year, I finally needed minimally invasive spine surgery. Dr Shiva Kumar R performed the procedure with precision. The incision was small and recovery was faster than I expected. He monitors post-surgery progress closely.
What stands out about Dr Shiva Kumar R is his conservative-first mindset. For my chronic back pain, he first focused on posture correction, muscle strengthening, and lifestyle changes. Surgery was only discussed as a last option. His 9 years of focused spine experience and fellowship training are reflected in his structured treatment planning.
Very patient and systematic. Best spine specialist in Ramamurthy Nagar.
