Disc Replacement Surgery

Disc replacement surgery is a procedure to treat damaged or degenerated spinal discs that cause pain or mobility issues. During the surgery, a damaged disc in your spine is removed and replaced with a specially designed artificial disc made of metal and plastic. The goal is to restore normal spine movement and reduce pain, similar to the original disc's function. This surgery can help improve quality of life and flexibility, especially for those who haven’t found relief with other treatments. It is typically performed by a spine surgeon and involves careful planning to ensure proper alignment and stability.
