At just 11 years old, Sukhdeep needed highly specialized surgery to relieve pressure and stabilize her spine. Her case is a powerful reminder that Seva Spine’s work is not limited to routine back problems. The team helps children and families facing serious conditions that can affect growth, movement, safety, and long-term quality of life.
