Artificial Cervical Disc Replacement
Artificial cervical disc replacement is a surgical option for patients with a damaged disc in the neck who want to maintain motion in the spine. Instead of fusing the bones, the surgeon removes the damaged disc and replaces it with an artificial disc that mimics the function of a natural one. This reduces pressure on the spinal cord or nerves while preserving flexibility.
This procedure may be recommended for patients who are good candidates for motion-preserving surgery, often younger or more active individuals. Many patients notice improved pain relief, restored function, and greater neck mobility compared to traditional fusion surgery. Artificial disc replacement is a safe and effective way to treat cervical disc problems while keeping natural movement.
