At Gerling Spine Care NY, we provide expert treatment options for cervical spine issues, including the advanced procedure of Artificial Cervical Disc Replacement (ACDR). This innovative surgery replaces damaged cervical discs with an artificial disc to relieve pain and restore mobility, allowing patients to regain function and improve their quality of life. With minimally invasive techniques and a personalized approach, we ensure faster recovery and fewer complications for our New York patients.
Benefits of Artificial Cervical Disc Replacement
Choosing ACDR over traditional spinal fusion brings several benefits, including:
- Motion Preservation: Unlike spinal fusion, which limits neck movement, ACDR maintains natural motion in the spine.
- Quicker Recovery: The minimally invasive nature of ACDR allows for less tissue disruption, resulting in a faster recovery time.
- Significant Pain Relief: Replacing the damaged disc relieves pressure on the spinal nerves, reducing symptoms such as neck pain, arm numbness, and weakness.
- No Need for Bone Grafting: ACDR eliminates the need for bone grafts, which often lead to longer recovery times in fusion procedures.
