Our NSG team and new surgery center, CDCLA (Cervical Disc Center of Los Angeles) is proud to be part of the Synergy Disc US IDE 2-Level clinical trial.

The trial is a multi-center, prospective, non-randomised, historically controlled study to demonstrate the Synergy Disc is at least as safe and effective as conventional anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) to treat cervical degenerative disc disease (DDD) in subjects who are symptomatic at two levels from C3 to C7 are and are unresponsive to conservative management. A total of 200 patients will be enrolled to the investigational group at a number of sites across the country.

For more information on the trial, head to https://lnkd.in/ecX_9JEq

CAUTION: In the US, the Synergy Disc is an Investigational Device limited by United States Law to Investigational Use only.

A touching first for Dr. Ament and - having a recent post-op patient be so satisfied with her surgical result that she dons a t-shirt to that effect. All smiles and notable improvement in her right arm and hand weakness from severe calcifications causing actually injury to the spinal cord. This was a complex surgery performed where an entire section of the vertebra is removed (corpectomy) in order to safely reach and dissect the calcification off the spinal cord. This is all conducted under the microscope at high magnification. This is an early but very real success for a beautiful person and family that I feel blessed to know and have been part of her neurosurgical care.

The team - and had the distinct pleasure to work recently with and be of service to the people of Sucré, Bolivia. The team was repeatedly humbled by the graciousness and resourcefulness of the people. They are able to do so much with so little. Their resilience and hope represents a bright shining star in this sometimes dark world.

And we have successfully completed the 1st post-FDA approval TOPS case in the USA without any complications. Excited for her recovery. Stay tuned for updates! Special thanks to my partner and irreplaceable PA, Dean Wilson

I am beyond happy for this patient - someone my partner and I have been speaking with for many months. I believe we were her 14th opinion (she may correct me) :). I strongly believe that what we, as the NSG team, accomplished in her is revolutionary and truly at the frontiers of motion preserving neurosurgery. Her first two days post-op have been excellent, without any concerns and already with notable improvement in her pre-op symptoms. I’m also very proud of her for finally taking the scary step to getting the care she deserves.

Team appreciation!!! It really takes our entire fabulous NSG team to make it all happen. 🙏

NSG partners operated together today on 2 different patients, both getting the only 2 ADRs with built-in lordotic angulation. The first two photos are of the Simplify ADR with 5-degrees of lordosis and the last two photos are with the Synergy ADR (current FDA IDE trial) with 6-degrees of lordosis.

Great example of how the newer generations of discs are allowing us to help restore cervical lordosis (the natural curvature of your spine). Patients both went home 2-3 hours post-op and can already appreciate improved posture and pre-op pain symptoms. Now, it is important that our followers understand that this surgery still requires a “recovery” period, as posterior neck spasms and discomfort for 1-2 weeks are common (variable depending on the patient and anatomy). Nevertheless, with our unique post-op care regimen at NSG, including , we will have patients back in the gym doing light exercises by weeks 3 and 4.

Always proud of our team that continues to contribute to academic research and the medical literature.

The spinal cord is crucial in controlling the body's movements and sensations. It is divided into three main sections: the cervical spinal cord section, the thoracic spinal cord section, and the lumbar and sacral sections.

🔹 The cervical spinal cord section in the neck controls the movements and sensations of the arms and hands.
🔹 The thoracic spinal cord section, which runs through the upper and mid-back, controls the chest muscles, torso movements, and certain abdominal muscles.
🔹 Finally, the lumbar and sacral sections in the lower back and pelvis control the legs, feet, bladder, and bowel function.

Understanding how the spinal cord is organized can help you better understand the relationship between your brain and your body and how injuries or conditions affecting the spinal cord can impact your mobility and sensation.

If you're dealing with nerve root pain, you may be experiencing a range of symptoms.

🔹 Tingling or numbness
🔹 Weakness of muscles
🔹 Increased sensitivity.
🔹 Pain in the back, neck, and limbs.

Various issues, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease, can cause nerve root pain. If you're experiencing these symptoms, you must talk to your doctor to determine the root cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

With the right approach, you can manage your nerve root pain and get back to living your best life.

Spine pain management: basic and complex diagnoses

➡️ Pain is a complex and multifactorial manifestation of spinal dysfunction, and its treatment best depends on making an accurate diagnosis.

The spine institute has a network of pain management specialists who manage severe exacerbations of pain originating and radiating from the spine and engage our patients in the treatment of pain as well as pre and post-operative rehabilitation. The initial evaluation of spinal pain is geared toward making the correct diagnosis, which is critical to prognosis and recovery.
