Back pain is a common condition that can interfere with work, movement, and daily life. While some cases improve with rest, others may involve more serious spinal issues, such as a damaged or degenerated disc.
When symptoms persist, some patients consider surgical options like disc arthroplasty. At QC Kinetix®, we offer regenerative medicine treatments designed to support improved function and mobility without surgery.
Disc arthroplasty is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged or degenerated spinal disc with an artificial disc.
Spinal discs act as cushions between the vertebrae, helping absorb shock and support movement. When a disc becomes damaged, it can lead to symptoms such as:
During disc arthroplasty, the damaged disc is removed and replaced with an artificial device designed to maintain movement in the spine.
Disc arthroplasty is considered a major surgical procedure and is typically performed under general anesthesia.
During surgery:
The goal of the procedure is to maintain spinal motion while reducing pain associated with disc degeneration.
Following surgery, patients are often monitored in the hospital and may require physical therapy as part of recovery.
Recovery timelines can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the procedure.
In general, recovery may include:
Full recovery can take several months as the body adjusts and strength returns.
As with any surgical procedure, disc arthroplasty carries potential risks.
These may include:
