Total Disc Replacement

Total Disc Replacement (TDR) is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged or degenerated spinal disc with an artificial disc. The goal is to maintain or restore normal movement of the spine while relieving pain caused by conditions like disc wear or herniation. The surgery involves removing the problematic disc and inserting a prosthetic device designed to mimic the natural function of a healthy disc. TDR can help reduce back or neck pain and improve mobility, offering an alternative to traditional fusion surgeries that limit spinal motion. It's typically considered when conservative treatments haven't provided relief.
