Disc Replacement
When disc degeneration advances to cause chronic back or neck pain, the disc may require removal for treatment. The typical treatment after removal of a disc has been fusion surgery.
This treatment achieves very good results; however, there is increased risk for degeneration at an adjacent spinal level and there is some reduction in mobility. This treatment provides pain relief while maintaining the mobility of the spine.
