The same-day spine procedure eliminates neck pain and improves patient mobility. After the damaged disc is removed, an artificial disc is inserted between two healthy vertebrae through a small incision.
Before the procedure was available, patients had to undergo spinal fusion to treat their neck pain.
While spinal fusion works well for some patients, it includes more downtime following the surgery and is more invasive.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
