Why Artificial Disc Replacement? | International Spine Institute

Dr. Rodriguez, an orthopedic spine surgeon describes what is an artificial disc replacement, and why he recommends it to his patients.  Artificial disc replacement has shown in clinical studies to be superior to traditional anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) for patients suffering from neck pain.  In fact, the product Mobi-C - in a two-level surgery versus ACDF, conducted over 7 years of the trial found Mobi-C to be superior in the overall trial success and less additional need for surgery. As a leader in Least Invasive Spine Surgery, Dr. Rodriguez is always looking for ways to get his patient back to work and play sooner.  At the International Spine Institute, we put patients first when choosing the course of therapy, procedures, and surgery.  The goals are to get patients back to work and life sooner without minimally invasive spinal fusion surgery.    We highly encourage your questions. Please feel free to ask questions directed to Dr. Rodriguez and he will do his best to answer them in each related video or upcoming video blog.
