New Technology Spotlight!
Visit our office to find out if you are a candidate for artificial disc replacement.
The treatment goal of the prodisc C Total Disc Replacement is to restore the normal dynamic function of the spine and to significantly reduce pain. Prior to the development of artificial discs the only surgical option was a fusion, in which adjacent vertebral bodies are “fused together” permanently using implants, bone chips and/or cages.
ProDisc-C artificial cervical disc replacement is offered to patients with severe disc herniation or with degenerative disc disease. Normally, in such patients, spinal fusion is offered as a sole procedure, but given the loss of neck mobility that accompanies this, cervical disc replacement is now being offered a lot more.
Back Pain? It May Be a Compression Fracture.
Back Pain may be caused by fractures within the bones that make up your spine. Up to 1.4 million people worldwide per year get Vertebral Compression Fractures, but more than 2/3 of these fractures go undiagnosed.
As we get older, our bones become more porous and can fracture more easily. These fractures may be very tiny but over time can cause the vertebra (the bones of your spine) to compress and settle down on to nerves and cause pain in your back. If you’ve lost height as you’ve gotten older, you may have compression fractures now, even if you have no pain.
