About me
A doctor dedicated to his patients and committed to clinical excellence — that is what best defines me. I am a spine surgeon with a special interest in degenerative and traumatic spine disorders, supported by international training in minimally invasive spine surgery, disc replacement, and kyphoplasty.
With extensive experience in diagnosing and treating complex spinal conditions, my focus has always been on accurate evaluation, evidence-based decision-making, and long-term functional recovery. Every patient deserves clarity and confidence in their treatment, and my approach is rooted in detailed assessment, honest communication, and personalised care.
Modern spine care goes far beyond surgery. It requires understanding lifestyle factors, guiding patients through rehabilitation, and ensuring that every step of the journey is safe, informed, and empowering. My goal is to restore mobility, reduce pain, and help patients return to the life they love with comfort, trust, and complete support.

What I'd like to tell my patients
Modern lifestyles prolonged sitting, lack of ergonomics, heavy workouts, or sudden injuries — have led to a significant rise in spine issues among young adults. Many of these problems are preventable, and simple changes can make a major difference.
For me, the most important step is a correct diagnosis. While patients often look for quick relief, targeted treatment requires a clear understanding of the underlying cause. No two spine problems are the same; each needs individual analysis of symptoms, movement patterns, imaging, and lifestyle.
I firmly believe in the healing power of movement. Resting may feel intuitive when back pain strikes, but carefully guided exercises and strengthening programs are essential for long-term recovery. Regardless of age, staying active is one of the best ways to protect your spine.
My commitment is to restore your comfort, mobility, and quality of life with treatment that is personalised, ethical, and designed around your needs.

Simply the best!
My mother, Mrs. Vimal Jha, had been suffering chronic knee pain since 2013. We had spent quite a bit of money on physical therapy at many clinics, but it did not seem like my mother was making any progress. We were losing all hopes, when one of our friends suggested us to meet Dr. Vishal Nigam at Moolchand.
We found Dr. Vishal Nigam very knowledgeable and approachable. The way he attended my mother’s condition is very commendable. That initial consult made us feel confident to go ahead and trust his surgical recommendation. My mother under right knee surgery at Moolchand and is under Dr. Nigam’s care. She feels greats and her surgery scar is barely noticeable.
We also love the staff here! They are all amazing, very friendly, helpful and wonderful. Even when they are super busy, they always act like you are the only one there and that they have time to help you out, chat with you or make you laugh. They are simply the best!

Thank you for getting me on the path to pain-free life!
I am 71-years old. Over the past 5-6 years, my spinal problem (lumbar canal stenosis) had worsened to the degree of the inability of walking, sitting, standing or sleeping without constant pain. I decided to consult senior spine expert Dr. Vishal Nigam at Moolchand. He is extremely popular so I had to wait a bit for the first appointment; definitely, “Good things come to those who wait.” Dr. Nigam took my medical history and directed significant steps for through diagnosis. He ensured me that my debilitating pain will soon disappear. He made me feel comfortable and his professionalism gave me the confidence I needed to have spinal decompression to fix my herniated discs. I think he is the best doctor I have ever met!
The office staff at Moolchand is also courteous, professional and friendly. No where else can one find such excellent care, constant concern for the patients’ well being. Thank you Moolchand and Dr. Nigam!

Successful Spinal Decompression Surgery!
The first word that comes to my mind while describing Dr. Vishal Nigam is ‘Perfectionist’. Being his regular patient for orthopaedic treatment at Moolchand, I take this opportunity to mention that he is one doctor who is dedicated, sincere, excellent and as mentioned earlier, perfect in his respective profession. I am extremely satisfied and happy with Dr. Vishal Nigam who performed a spinal decompression surgery on me. His pleasant smiles and comforting words were very much encouraging during my recovery period. I am grateful for how smooth this process went.
I highly recommend Dr. Vishal Nigam and the services of Moolchand.
