Our clinic is at the forefront of offering Cervical Disc Replacement, a cutting-edge surgical procedure designed to alleviate pain and restore mobility in patients suffering from cervical disc issues.

We are very blessed to have Dr. Alex Sielatycki, who specializes in this advanced technique, providing patients with a safe and effective alternative to traditional spinal fusion surgery.
What Is Cervical Disc Replacement?
Cervical Disc Replacement is a surgical procedure that involves removing a damaged or diseased cervical disc and replacing it with an artificial disc. The artificial disc is designed to mimic the natural movement of a healthy disc, allowing for a greater range of motion and flexibility in the neck. This procedure is aimed at patients experiencing neck pain, arm pain, numbness, or weakness due to degenerative disc disease or herniated discs in the cervical spine. The procedure is typically performed using minimally invasive techniques, resulting in shorter recovery times and less postoperative discomfort compared to traditional cervical fusion surgery.
Why Use Us for Cervical Disc Replacement
Cervical Disc Replacement offers several advantages:
Motion Preservation
Unlike spinal fusion, Cervical Disc Replacement allows for the preservation of natural neck movement, ensuring a greater range of motion post-surgery.
Reduced Recovery Time
Patients typically experience a faster recovery period and can return to their normal activities sooner than with traditional Cervical Spine Fusion Surgery.
