4 Advantages of Cervical Disc Replacement over a Spinal Fusion

• • Motion Preservation:  Unlike spinal fusion, which restricts movement by fusing adjacent vertebrae, disc replacement allows for neck to have a full range of motion including circling and swiveling
  • Reduced Recovery Time: A shorter recovery period means that you can return to your daily activities sooner.
  • Minimized Discomfort: This minimally invasive spinal surgery results in reduced post-surgery discomfort.
  • Limits Future Spinal Issues: Disc replacement decreases the risk of adjacent segment degeneration, a risk associated with spinal fusion.
