What Is Disc Replacement Surgery?

Disc replacement surgery is a procedure performed to remove and replace damaged discs to restore motion and reduce pain. The artificial disc is a modern surgical alternative that benefits patients suffering from debilitating neck or back conditions, restoring their full and active lifestyle. 


Before disc replacement, spinal fusion surgery was the go-to method to relieve pain; however, as surgical technologies evolved, disc replacement has vastly improved results in patients. Degenerative, painful, or herniated discs can be removed and replaced with new, artificial ones, keeping functionality and motion without the need for fusion.

What to Expect Before and After Disc Replacement Surgery

Before we determine if you’re a candidate for disc replacement surgery, all patients undergo a personalized consultation with one of our spine surgeons. Your surgeon will determine eligibility through a series of analyses, including an in-depth physical exam, diagnostic testing, and, in some instances, advanced imaging. Once a treatment plan is determined, your medical team will then walk you through our Enhanced Surgical Recovery protocols, an evidence-based process which include both pre and post-surgical steps to help speed-up recovery.
