Disc Replacement vs. Fusion

Cervical disc replacement has become a popular option for people with Cervical Radiculopathy. In this video we’ll discuss when we consider a fusion vs a disc replacement for symptoms of cervical spondylosis.

One of the best features of disc replacement is that it preserves motion in the cervical spine. Disk Replacements allow you to remove the pressure from nerves that are causing pain, but still keep the ability to move the spine. Fusions also remove pressure from the nerves and spinal cord, but freeze that portion of the spine by removing the intervertebral disk and fusing two or more bones together.

Join us to learn about when each of these options are used to manage the symptoms of cervical spondylosis.
