He is currently a consultant orthopaedic surgeon who encourages non-surgical options with pain management plans and is well known for educating and assisting his patients in the decision making process when considering treatment options.

He was actively involved in the Spinal Tuberculosis Unit at The Royal London Hospital, one of a very few units in the UK seeing a high volume of patients.

He completed his spinal fellowship training at Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital and at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital both under orthopaedic and neuro-spinal surgeons.

He is also actively involved in the training of medical students and orthopaedic specialist trainees at St Bartholomew's Hospital and at The Royal London Hospital. Mr Sivaraman enjoys sharing his knowledge also by presenting GP lectures and physical therapist lectures.
