Disc Replacement Surgery in Faridabad, Haryana, is an advanced spinal procedure designed to relieve chronic back or neck pain caused by damaged or degenerated intervertebral discs. Dr. Bhoopendra Foujdar, a leading spine and brain surgeon, offers state-of-the-art disc replacement techniques to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve overall quality of life.
What Is Disc Replacement Surgery?
Disc Replacement Surgery, also known as Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR), involves removing a damaged spinal disc and replacing it with a synthetic disc.
Unlike traditional fusion surgery, disc replacement preserves natural motion between vertebrae, reducing stress on adjacent segments.
About The Condition:
Intervertebral discs act as shock absorbers for the spine.
Disc degeneration, trauma, or herniation can cause chronic pain, nerve compression, or reduced mobility.
Untreated disc problems may lead to worsening pain and decreased quality of life.
Goals Of Surgery:
Replace the damaged disc with an artificial implant
Preserve spinal flexibility and natural motion
Relieve nerve compression and pain
Improve posture, function, and daily activity levels
Why Does It Happen?
Disc degeneration or damage may result from:
Aging and natural wear-and-tear
Herniated or ruptured discs
Trauma or spinal injury
Repetitive strain or poor posture
Genetic predisposition to early degeneration
Symptoms Indicating Disc Replacement Surgery:
Persistent back or neck pain not relieved by medication
Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in arms or legs
Limited mobility and stiffness
Pain worsening with activity or sitting/standing for long periods
Reduced quality of life despite conservative treatment
How Is It Treated?
Non-Surgical Treatment:
Pain medications and anti-inflammatory therapy
Physical therapy and core strengthening exercises
Lifestyle modifications and ergonomic adjustments
Surgical Treatment – Disc Replacement:
Artificial Cervical Disc Replacement: For neck disc problems
Artificial Lumbar Disc Replacement: For lower back disc issues
Preserves motion at the operated segment
Reduces stress on neighboring discs
