For most, neck pain is only a temporary problem that can be alleviated with conservative (non-surgical) treatment such as rest, medication, physical therapy, spinal injections and the use of orthotics. Neck and arm pain can be attributed to degeneration problems in the cervical spine. Other neurological problems such as arm weakness, burning, numbness or tingling may also be associated with degeneration in the cervical spine. Surgical treatment may be required to prevent severe and ongoing neurological problems.
Discuss your neck or back pain with our extensively trained neurosurgeons at The Brain & Spine Center. Find out if you are a good candidate for Total Disc Replacement and possibly avoid a fusion.
This surgery is intended to:
• Remove the diseased disc
