Artificial disc replacement is a surgical procedure performed to treat certain types of spinal disc disorders, typically in the cervical (neck) or lumbar (lower back) regions of the spine. The procedure involves replacing a damaged or degenerated intervertebral disc with an artificial or synthetic disc.
The procedure aims to alleviate pain, restore spinal function, and improve the quality of life for individuals with specific spinal disc conditions. A comprehensive evaluation by a qualified spine surgeon is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment approach for each individual.
