What is Disc Replacement Surgery?

Disc replacement surgery, also known as artificial disc replacement (ADR) or total disc arthroplasty, involves removing a damaged spinal disc and replacing it with a prosthetic implant. This procedure is designed to relieve chronic back or neck pain caused by degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, or disc injuries. Unlike traditional spinal fusion, disc replacement preserves natural spinal motion and flexibility.

Ignoring chronic back or neck pain can lead to worsening symptoms and reduced mobility. Early evaluation and treatment are essential for the best outcomes.

Understanding Disc Replacement Surgery

Disc replacement is a motion-preserving alternative to spinal fusion. By maintaining spinal flexibility, it reduces stress on adjacent segments and lowers the risk of future spinal problems. At Baines Hospital, we use advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques to ensure precise implant placement and optimal recovery.
