spinal disc replacement

Spinal disc replacement is a surgical procedure that involves removing a damaged or degenerated disc in the spine and replacing it with an artificial disc. This artificial disc aims to preserve more natural spine movement compared to traditional surgery, like fusion. The goal is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and maintain as much of the spine’s normal function as possible. The procedure is typically considered for patients who haven't found relief from other treatments and is performed through a small incision, with careful placement of the prosthesis between the vertebrae.
