Artificial Disc Replacement Surgery
Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR) surgery is one of the latest spine treatments that Precision Pain and Spine Institute specializes in. It helps patients recover their movement and get rid of constant pain. This new way of operating on the spine is meant to replace a broken or degenerating disc with a synthetic one, restoring function and improving life.
What Is Artificial Disc Replacement Surgery?
Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR) surgery is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at treating degenerative disc disease and other spinal conditions that cause persistent pain and limited mobility. Unlike traditional spinal fusion, ADR preserves motion in the spine, offering a more natural range of movement and reducing stress on adjacent discs.
Conditions Treated with Artificial Disc Replacement:
- Degenerative disc disease
- Herniated discs
- Chronic lower back pain
- Spinal stenosis
- Sciatica
- Facet joint arthritis
- Radiculopathy
- Failed previous spinal surgeries
Benefits of Artificial Disc Replacement Surgery
Choosing ADR at Precision Pain and Spine Institute provides numerous benefits, including:
- Preserved Mobility – Unlike spinal fusion, ADR allows for continued spinal movement.
- Reduced Recovery Time – Minimally invasive techniques lead to faster healing and minimal scarring.
- Long-Term Pain Relief – Designed to alleviate chronic pain and improve spinal function.
- Lower Risk of Adjacent Disc Degeneration – Helps maintain the spine’s natural alignment.
- Improved Quality of Life – Restores daily function and allows for a more active lifestyle
What to Expect During the Treatment
Our experienced spine specialists at Precision Pain and Spine Institute perform ADR surgery with precision and care. The procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Depending on the affected spinal region, a small incision is made in the abdomen or neck.
- The damaged disc is carefully removed, relieving pressure on surrounding nerves.
- An artificial disc made of biocompatible materials is implanted in place of the removed disc.
- The incision is closed, and the patient is monitored briefly before beginning recovery.
Recovery and Aftercare
Following ADR surgery, patients are encouraged to follow a personalized rehabilitation plan to ensure optimal healing and long-term success. Our team at Precision Pain and Spine Institute will guide you through physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
