Here are five things to know:
1. The technology treats pain from herniated, bulging and slipped discs in the neck and allows patients to continue leading active lives after surgery.
2. The Mobi-C is the first FDA-approved technology for cervical disc replacement of two adjacent disc levels and offers an alternative to traditional spinal fusion.
3. Spinal fusions limit the range of motion after surgery. This result accelerates wear and tear of the surrounding discs and increases the chance of future surgery.
4. Neurosurgeon Paul Jackson, MD, of Palo Alto (Calif.) Medical Foundation said, “This procedure has successfully restored quality of life and saved patients from procedures that risk damage to spinal sections surrounding the affected disc in their neck.”
5. The Mobi-C restores height and removes pressure from pinched nerves, allowing the disc level to behave as a normal functioning joint.
