Neck pain from degenerative disc disease doesn’t have to mean a permanent fusion. The prodisc C Total Disc Replacement offers an innovative alternative, maintaining motion at the affected disc while reducing pain and pressure on adjacent discs.

Our spine surgeons at Texas Spine Associates specialize in restoring the natural function of your cervical spine with minimally invasive techniques. By replacing a damaged disc instead of fusing vertebrae together, prodisc C helps you maintain mobility and supports faster recovery.

📞 Call: (972) 987-0969 to schedule your consultation.

To learn more about prodisc C total disc replacement as an alternative to cervical fusion, request a consultation with Texas Spine Associates.
