One of the causes of chronic spinal pain is damage or compression of the discs within the spine, causing disc or bone pieces to cause pressure on your nerves or even your spinal cord, creating pain, weakness, numbness and other serious complications. If your spinal pain is not being helped by non surgical methods, it may be time to consider cervical total disc replacement at Denver’s Colorado Spine and Scoliosis Institute. Our spine surgeon, Dr Anant Kumar, specializes in fining the least invasive methods to perform all of his work, including cervical total disc replacement, so that your operation goes as easy on you as possible with the finest results.
The process of total cervical disc replacement involves removing the disc that is causing pressure and replacing it carefully with an artificial disc, which allows for free movement after your surgery as opposed to some spinal surgery methods that fuse the discs together to stop the damage. Obviously that is necessary in some cases, but cervical total disc replacement is a more flexible option for cases that do not require spinal fusion.
