Around 1 in 20 people will develop disease in more

Around 1 in 20 people will develop disease in more than one level of the cervical spine.

For some, artificial discs can provide a lasting solution, while, in other cases, multiple disc replacements or multiple spinal fusions may not be the right approach. In many of these cases, hybrid cervical spine surgery is the best solution.

Hybrid cervical spine surgery combines fusion and ADR and is ideal for patients with at least one level that can’t be treated with ADR and at least one level that can. As opposed to fusion at every level that is causing symptoms, which would render the neck relatively immobile, this hybrid cervical surgery can combine the greatest possible benefits from both surgeries and help patients maintain a good range of motion in the neck post-surgery.

Future of Spine Surgery Part 3 - Robotics Investme

Future of Spine Surgery Part 3 - Robotics Investments Creating Improved Outcomes

In the field of spinal repair, the use of robots can reduce muscle dissection and lower blood loss during surgery. By making the procedure less invasive, the patient will experience less pain after surgery and is less likely to develop an infection. These procedures also lead to shorter hospital stays, which means the patient can recover in the comfort of their own home.

While the field of robotics is promising, there are some drawbacks to this technology. The first is the price. Additionally, while seasoned spinal professionals will be able to adapt to the technology, there is a learning curve to understand how the systems can help patients.

Despite the rise in technology, there may be times when the human hands of a trusted surgeon are still the best option to ensure positive patient outcomes.

Anti-Inflammatory Injections - What are They?

Conservative treatment options are always our first choice when treating patients with pain in the neck or back. These earlier interventions include anti-inflammatory injections, which can provide long-lasting pain relief by reducing inflammation in and around joints. Some anti-inflammatory injections also reduce pain by blocking enzymes that transmit pain signals.

In addition to more surgeons opting for ADR over fusion to maximize mobility, other innovations in spine surgery include a new focus on movement within the materials.

“The current generation implants have solid cores because the emphasis is the stability of the implant,” says Dr. Lanman. “The newest generation disc implants have pliable cores that allow vertical compression and some lateral shear (twisting) movement, as we see with natural discs.”

As the surgical practice of ADR becomes more advanced, doctors can use materials that allow patients to move more comfortably and without pain, with the most exciting technology related to restorative motion surgery, which reverses fusion and replaces it with an artificial disc.

The goal of Artificial Disc Replacement is to rest

The goal of Artificial Disc Replacement is to restore your spine to its full movement and flexibility, a result that can’t be achieved through spinal fusion. We’re happy to hear that our patient, Martina, has been able to get back to the life she loves.

When a disc herniates, a person may develop sudden

When a disc herniates, a person may develop sudden onset of pain. If the disc herniates in the neck, it can cause shooting pain through the neck, shoulder blade, and possibly through the arm with numbness, tingling, and possible weakness. On the other hand, if the disc herniates in the back, the pain may shoot through the buttock into the leg with similar symptoms.

A herniated disc often feels like a pulled muscle, and it should get better in about 8-10 weeks. If not, it’s always advised to seek professional treatment.

Advanced Disc Replacement Spinal Restoration Cente

Advanced Disc Replacement Spinal Restoration Center is honored to have been named the top Spine Practice to Know by Becker’s Spine Review for our specialty of Artificial Disc Replacement. In addition to our original Beverly Hills location listed in the article, we’ve recently expanded into Florida to better serve our contingent of East Coast patients and progress the future of spinal care.

It’s rare to find a spinal restoration team that

It’s rare to find a spinal restoration team that approaches health the way we do. Rather than treating the symptoms, we aim to identify the ‘cause and effect’ to determine the root cause of back or neck pain, treating the patient holistically to ensure continued movement, flexibility, and spinal restoration.

Through this method, Drs. Todd Lanman and Jason Cuéllar have transformed chronic pain sufferers back into their thriving and active selves.

Neck pain, being defined as central to the neck or

Neck pain, being defined as central to the neck or slightly off to the side of your neck, is most often caused by one of two things – either degenerative disc disease, which can lead to tremendous pain for some, or facet joint pain, which occurs when the facet joints on either side of the vertebrae become arthritic or degenerative themselves. In Dr. Lanman’s experience, facet pain can be more symptomatic in the upper neck compared to the lower neck, but degenerative disc disease tends to cause more neck pain than facet joint pain does. If your pain refers down to your shoulder blade or down your arm, this is a different topic.

At ADR, many of the spinal surgeries we perform ar

At ADR, many of the spinal surgeries we perform are minimally invasive, which uses small incisions and often relies on robotics and other special technology to provide the same outcome as open surgery, but with fewer complications, less pain, and shorter recovery time.

Why Do I Have Back Pain? Back pain stems from li

Why Do I Have Back Pain?

Back pain stems from lifestyle factors as well as genetic factors that are out of your control. Even an active, seemingly healthy adult can still experience back pain, no matter how well they care for themselves.

The 2 key types of back pain:

* Acute back pain - Lasts for a few days to a few weeks and may go away on its own with rest and stretching
* Chronic back pain - Lasts for 12+ weeks and persists even with rest and basic treatment

To understand your back pain and the best course of action to solve it, a good first step is determining whether it’s acute or chronic. Schedule a consultation to learn more by contacting frontdesk@adrspine.com.

Over the years, Dr. Lanman has performed over 5,00

Over the years, Dr. Lanman has performed over 5,000 spinal surgeries for conditions such as back pain.

Back pain plagues many people, but what causes it?

It can be caused by many things, but degenerative discs or degenerative or arthritic facet joints are the leading causes of most back pain and can be treated with ADR.

What will the future of spine surgery look like? T

What will the future of spine surgery look like? That’s what Becker’s Spine Review asked eight leading spine surgeons, including Dr. Lanman.

“In the next nine years, I think that spine surgeons will look back at the number of fusions that were performed and how debilitating and often restrictive this type of surgery was for a patient’s health.

As artificial disc replacements and motion preservation surgery continue to develop, these will become the mainstays of treatment in the future. Fusions will become very limited in their usage, mostly reserved for severely arthritic degenerative or scoliotic spines, but not for the general cases of patients that need spine care. Most of these patients can be treated using artificial disc replacements.” - Dr. Todd Lanman

Dr. Todd Lanman is a Beverly Hills spinal surgeon

Dr. Todd Lanman is a Beverly Hills spinal surgeon who has been practicing for decades in this region. Now, he and his partner, Dr. Jason Cuéllar, are licensed in the state of Florida to better serve their large contingent of East Coast patients.

Both doctors will be coming out to Florida to perform surgeries as well as taking telemedicine appointments from their California offices to eliminate the need for patients in Florida and throughout the East Coast to travel across the country.

Advanced Disc Replacement focuses on ADR, or Artificial Disc Replacement surgeries, which Dr. Lanman believes to be the future of spinal care. He aims to avoid fusion in order to prevent limited mobility and motion in spinal surgery patients and even offers restorative motion surgery for those with failed fusions.

Dr. Lanman and Dr. Cuéllar provide ADR surgery in the neck and back at one or two levels. In certain cases, they may even utilize off-label use of approved discs at three, four, or even five levels.
