A Briefing on Artificial Disc Replacement Surgery

Disc replacement surgery is a common surgical procedure that replaces discs of the spine have undergone damage and/or have worn down over time. The common causes of disc replacement surgery are degenerative disc disease and herniated discs. Specifically called artificial disc replacement surgery, this surgical procedure is only recommended if alternative nonsurgical treatments have not improved the underlying issue.

Disc replacement surgery was developed as an alternate treatment to spinal fusion surgery and anterior lumbar discectomy. By leveraging this effective form of spine surgery, many our patients in New Jersey find disc replacement surgery dramatically relieve pain and restore better range of motion.

Benefits of Disc Replacement Surgery

Damaged discs in the spine can irritate the roots of spinal nerves. These nerves, which are located in the spinal cord near the disc, are what trigger pain signals (which can stem down limbs of the body.) By removing problematic discs, pressure on the nerve is minimized, helping to relieve the paint associated with the damaged disc.

In many cases, the primary purpose of artificial disc replacement surgery is to relieve patients of pain in the arms, shoulders, and neck. Further, some instances that demand disc replacement surround the lumbar spine as well.

For most patients, the need for this surgical procedure is to provide pain relief as a result of disc herniation or degenerative disc conditions. Cervical disc replacement surgery, in particular, can be extremely beneficial compared to other forms of surgery.

A common reason why many patients choose cervical disc replacement surgery over anterior lumbar discectomy and fusion is that they experience greater range of motion in the neck. As a result, healing time can be minimized and residual effects on other parts of the spine will be reduced.
