cervical disc replacement

Cervical disc replacement is a surgical procedure to treat neck pain caused by damaged or degenerated discs in the neck portion of the spine. Instead of removing the entire disc, the damaged disc is replaced with a metal and plastic implant that preserves the neck's natural movement. This procedure aims to relieve pain, reduce nerve compression, and maintain normal neck function, often leading to quicker recovery compared to traditional fusion surgery. It is typically recommended for specific cases where disc degeneration causes pain or nerve symptoms but the surrounding bones and muscles are healthy.
