Disc Replacement

A surgical procedure to replace a damaged spinal disc with an artificial one to restore motion.

What is a Disc Replacement?

Disc replacement surgery involves removing a damaged or degenerated spinal disc and replacing it with an artificial disc to maintain spinal motion. Unlike spinal fusion, it aims to preserve flexibility while relieving pain. It is typically performed in the cervical or lumbar spine for specific conditions.

Signs You May Benefit from Spinal Fusion

Chronic neck or back pain

Chronic neck or back pain

Disc degeneration unresponsive to therapy

Limited spinal mobility

What Causes It?

Common Causes

  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Herniated discs

Contributing Factors

  • Spinal trauma
  • Repetitive stress

Should You See a Spine Surgeon?

If you experience persistent pain, radiating discomfort, or reduced mobility despite non-surgical treatments, consult a specialist. Immediate evaluation is recommended if symptoms worsen or new issues arise, such as severe pain or neurological deficits, indicating potential conditions requiring surgical attention.
