Narinder’s Story

Narinder’s Story: Standing Taller After 30 Years in a Wheelchair

At 78 years old, a severe spine condition had left her body bent forward. Over time, her hips and knees had also become fixed in a bent position, making it even harder for her to stand or move freely. She relied on a wheelchair, and the simple act of standing tall had been out of reach for decades.

In March 2025, Narinder received care through Seva Spine.

Her surgery was completed in stages, giving her medical team the ability to carefully address the condition that had shaped so much of her daily life.

Narinder’s story shows what access to spine care can mean. It is not only about treating pain or correcting a medical problem. It is about helping someone regain dignity, independence, and the possibility of movement after years of limitation.

For Narinder, care meant more than surgery. It meant the chance to stand taller after 30 years.
