When patients feel out of options, our ADR Top Doc

When patients feel out of options, our ADR Top Doctors are often their last hope to find alternative treatments to spinal fusion. When this patient found Dr. Schuler, founder of VSI and ADR expert, they found relief in the promise of freedom and mobility after the procedure. Here’s what they had to say about their experience with Dr. Schuler and his team 👇

“Everything from start to finish is just an outstanding, world-class, concierge-style experience. After waking up from surgery, all pain and tingling were instantly gone and have never returned.

Please don't hesitate to contact VSI for a consultation with Dr. Schuler and his team. I think you'll be as impressed as I am.”

How long does ADR last? Replacing a disc requires

How long does ADR last? Replacing a disc requires about one hour of surgery per disc – and each artificial disc can last 70+ years.

💡So, for a single-level ADR procedure, it’s just one hour of your life for a lifetime of pain relief.

Talk about a worthwhile trade-off.

One of the most limiting and dangerous phrases is, “We’ve always done it this way.” Tradition doesn’t necessarily equate to superiority, and this is true in the case of spine care. It’s time to replace outdated treatments with modern, innovative, and lasting solutions. ADR is the future.

“Just like arthroplasty is now commonplace for hip and knee and fusion is rare, the same will be true of spine devices; cervical and lumbar artificial discs will be the mainstay of treatment, and spinal fusion will be the rare exception,” says Dr. Lanman.

Spinal tendonitis results from inflammation of the

Spinal tendonitis results from inflammation of the tendons in your back. If you experience back stiffness and localized pain in an area of the spine that’s tender to the touch, swollen, red, or warm, find a spine specialist. Because of the critical nature of our spines to our mobility and well-being, it’s essential to get a tendonitis diagnosis and follow a treatment plan before this condition becomes more severe.

Meet with an expert like Dr. Todd Lanman to learn about the surgical and non-surgical treatment options for spinal tendonitis and how to prevent it from returning.

Is Disc Replacement Surgery worth the price? You have to weigh the benefits and the costs to determine your answer. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

🙌 ADR is considered the least invasive spinal surgery
🙌 ADR can completely restore spinal motion
🙌 ADR dramatically improves quality of life
🙌 ADR has a 90-95% success rate

All these things considered, whether it’s worth it is something only you can answer. What would you give to reclaim your life free of pain?

🧘‍♀️Keep good posture
👟Wear supportive shoes
🥗 Eat a healthy diet
🦴 Consider bone health supplements (Vitamin D, calcium, potassium)
💪 Build strength with exercise

Here’s an example of a type of patient that we s

Here’s an example of a type of patient that we see all too commonly at ADR Spinal Restoration Center. This young, healthy patient first went to the major hospitals on the East Coast near where he lived only to be recommended a spinal fusion surgery for single-level disc degeneration. Luckily, this patient was smart enough to do his own research and find out what other options were available to him.

This research led him to Beverly Hills, where he saw Dr. Lanman, and discovered he was a candidate for ADR.

This is the exact reason we created the ADR Top Doctors Program – so you can find competent ADR doctors and access the procedure without having to fly across the country. If you’ve been told that fusion is your only option, we hope your research leads you to our ADR Top Doctors in Arthroplasty directory, where you can find experienced ADR experts in every corner of the US.

Just because it’s been the standard doesn’t me

Just because it’s been the standard doesn’t mean it still should be. Medicine evolves rapidly, and we’re only holding ourselves back if we limit our options to traditional solutions. Spinal fusion used to be revolutionary. Today, ADR provides better results with fewer complications. Unfortunately, Dr. Lanman has still seen thousands of patients who should never have had spinal fusion surgery.

💡Luckily, having a spinal fusion doesn’t mean the end of the road. With Restorative Motion Surgery, we can reverse fusion surgery to restore motion, improving your quality of life.

It’s not only pollen that you may need to worry

It’s not only pollen that you may need to worry about this time of year. Allergies come in many forms; you can even be allergic to artificial discs. This is rare, but it’s still possible to be allergic to the prosthetic materials used, such as metal alloys, polymeric, ceramic, and hybrid materials. The good news is that different discs use different materials, so there are options.

Doctors may do a patch or blood allergy testing before the procedure to reduce the chance of allergic reactions to prostheses.

Communicate with your surgeon if you experience a fever or swelling, sensitivity, or heat to the touch in the implant area following your surgery.

Walk through the ADR surgery process with Dr. Lanm

Walk through the ADR surgery process with Dr. Lanman:

➡️ The ADR surgical process begins by sending Dr. Lanman’s office your X-rays, MRI and CT scan and a summary of your symptoms.

➡️ After Dr. Lanman reviews them, his office will reach out to schedule your consultation if he thinks you’re a potential candidate.

➡️ During your consultation, the doctor will examine you, discuss your whole health picture, and review your X-ray studies.

➡️ If everything points to you being a good candidate for ADR surgery, you’ll schedule your surgery for a date and time that works for everyone.

➡️ You’ll meet Dr. Lanman at the hospital the morning of your planned surgery. Each disc replacement will take about one hour.

➡️ As you recover, you’ll return to Dr. Lanman’s office for a wound check in two weeks and begin physical therapy after a six-week X-ray check.

➡️ At this point, you’ll begin returning to your everyday life, looking forward to feeling good at three weeks and great at three months post-op.

For those whose motion has been limited due to disc degeneration in the neck or back, you’ll find that artificial discs provide a much better quality of life. They perform just as well as human discs for mobility and motion, and often, they can perform even better! Don’t settle for stiffness. Reach out to discover if you’re a potential candidate for ADR.

If a fear of surgery, pain, or recovery is holding you back from getting spinal fusion, or you’d prefer a treatment that’s more effective, less invasive and produces better results, it’s time to talk to a specialist. Spinal fusion is not the only option - and you don’t have to live in pain. ✋
