Profile
Dr. Vignesh Pushparaj is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic spine surgeon practising in Chennai. His work spans degenerative spine conditions, disc disease, spinal deformity, fractures and tumours — with a strong emphasis on minimally invasive and endoscopic techniques where they genuinely help.
Every consultation starts with a structured history and examination. Imaging is interpreted alongside your symptoms and daily function, never in isolation. Surgery is recommended only when the evidence and your goals point clearly towards it.

Philosophy
Conservative first. Precise when needed.
“The finest operation is the one a patient truly needs—not simply the one that can be done.”
Symptoms, examination and imaging must agree before a plan is made.
Therapy, injections and rehabilitation are considered before surgery.
You receive options, risks and expected recovery in plain language.
Rehabilitation and follow-up are planned before the procedure, not after.
