Types of Disc Replacement We Perform

Cervical Disc Replacement (Neck)

We perform cervical disc replacement to treat damaged discs in the neck that cause persistent pain, numbness, or weakness. Our specialists replace the affected disc with an artificial implant to preserve motion and reduce nerve compression.

Lumbar Disc Replacement (Lower Back)

Lumbar disc replacement is recommended for eligible patients with painful degenerative discs in the lower back. Our team focuses on relieving chronic pain, maintaining spinal mobility, and restoring function while reducing stress on surrounding spinal segments.

Multi-Level and Hybrid Procedures

Multi-level and hybrid procedures are available for patients with complex spinal conditions involving more than one affected disc. Our specialists develop personalized surgical plans that combine proven techniques to improve spinal stability, preserve motion, and support lasting recovery.

Conditions Treated With Disc Replacement

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative disc disease can cause ongoing neck or back pain as spinal discs lose their cushioning ability over time. Our specialists evaluate the condition carefully to determine whether disc replacement is an appropriate treatment option.

Herniated Disc

A Herniated disc may compress nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness. Our team assesses the severity of disc damage and recommends disc replacement when it offers the best long-term outcome.

Radiculopathy and Pinched Nerve Pain

Radiculopathy occurs when a spinal nerve becomes compressed, causing pain that radiates into the arms or legs. Our specialists use advanced diagnostic evaluations to identify the source and restore nerve function whenever possible.

Chronic Neck or Back Pain That Hasn't Responded to Conservative Care

Persistent back or Neck pain that continues despite medications, physical therapy, or other non-surgical treatments may require surgical evaluation. Our spine specialists provide personalized care to determine the most effective long-term solution.

How Artificial Disc Replacement Surgery Works, Step by Step

Artificial disc replacement surgery begins with a comprehensive evaluation, advanced imaging, and a detailed review of your symptoms to confirm you are a suitable candidate. During the procedure, our spine specialists carefully remove the damaged spinal disc while protecting nearby nerves and surrounding tissues. A durable artificial disc is then precisely implanted to restore disc height, preserve natural spinal motion, and improve overall spinal function. Every stage of the procedure is carefully planned to maximize safety, reduce pain, and support long-term outcomes.
Recovery From Total Dis Replacement Surgery

Recovery after total disc replacement surgery varies based on the treated spinal level, overall health, and individual healing. Our team provides personalized postoperative care, activity guidelines, pain management, and rehabilitation recommendations to promote proper healing. Most patients gradually regain mobility, resume daily activities, and experience improved comfort while following their customized recovery plan.
