The Disc Replacement Center offers an alternative—artificial disc replacement, which provides pain

Similar to hip and knee joint replacements, significant advancements have been made in disc replacement surgery for treating neck and spine conditions. Unlike traditional spinal fusion, which involves removing painful discs and fusing two or more vertebrae together — which result in limited mobility — disc replacement surgery replaces the painful disc with an artificial disc to enable the neck/spi

ne to function as intended. Artificial discs are structurally similar to natural discs, which serve as shock absorbers in the neck and back.

Choosing the right spine care starts with honest guidance. At The Disc Replacement Center, Dr. K prioritizes what is truly best for each patient, whether that means surgery or a more conservative approach. Taking the time to educate, evaluate, and recommend the most appropriate path is at the core of every patient experience.

Understanding what to expect can help you feel more confident going into disc replacement surgery. The procedure is designed to relieve pressure on the affected nerve while preserving motion at the treated level of the spine. Most surgeries are performed using minimally invasive techniques, and patients are typically up and walking shortly after the procedure. Recovery timelines vary, but many patients are able to return to light activities within a few weeks, with continued improvement over time. A thorough evaluation and personalized care plan are key to ensuring the best possible outcome.

Healthy habits play an important role in supporting a healthy spine. Staying active, maintaining good posture, keeping a healthy weight, and strengthening the muscles that support your back and core can all help reduce strain on the spine over time. While some spine conditions may still require medical care, building strong daily habits can make a meaningful difference in protecting your spine and maintaining mobility for years to come.

Artificial disc replacement can be an effective option for certain cervical and lumbar spine conditions, but it is not the right solution for every patient. Factors such as the location of the damaged disc, overall spine health, and prior treatments all play a role in determining candidacy.
At The Disc Replacement Center, Dr. Armen Khachatryan carefully evaluates imaging, symptoms, and medical history to determine whether motion-preserving surgery may be appropriate. Understanding your options is the first step toward making an informed decision about your spine health.

When considering spine surgery, long-term outcomes matter. Clinical studies have shown that artificial disc replacement can maintain motion at the treated level for 7 to 10 years and beyond in appropriately selected patients. Preserving movement may help support more natural spine mechanics over time. The most important step is a thorough evaluation to determine whether disc replacement is the right option for your specific condition.

03/02/2026

When patients are told they need spine surgery, many assume fusion is their only option. While fusion can be appropriate in certain cases, it is not the only solution for every spine condition.
Artificial disc replacement is a motion-preserving alternative designed to relieve pain while maintaining more natural movement of the spine. The key is understanding your specific diagnosis and determining which approach best supports long-term function and stability.
Dr. K carefully evaluates each patient to recommend the most appropriate treatment based on their condition, goals, and overall spine health.
If you’ve been recommended fusion, it may be worth discussing whether disc replacement is an option.
