At 36, a San Diego detective was told his police career was over. He had three degenerative discs causing constant pain, and multiple surgeons were recommending spinal fusion. But fusion would have meant limited mobility for life and an end to active duty.

He wasn't ready to retire. Swipe to see how motion-preserving surgery gave him everything back: his career, his mobility, and his life. ➡️

Don't wait until you're in crisis to find yourself

Don't wait until you're in crisis to find yourself in our waiting room.

Too many patients spend years managing pain and adjusting their lives around limitations, hoping it will somehow get better. By the time they finally seek surgical solutions, their condition has often progressed to the point where recovery is harder and options are more limited.

If your quality of life is suffering now, that's reason enough to be here. Contact us to schedule a consultation.

This is one of our most commonly heard questions.

This is one of our most commonly heard questions. ADR devices are built to last a lifetime. Studies suggest that they can last an average of 70 years without requiring revision. Longevity depends on factors such as device type, activity level, and overall health, but the goal is a durable solution that can provide you with decades of improved mobility and relief.

Have questions about whether ADR is right for you? Let's talk.

Patient-first care should center around what each patient needs. When insurance companies override your doctor's recommendations, everyone loses - except their shareholders.

This couple spent 10 years in pain. Now, after four ADR surgeries between them, they're both back in the gym and living completely pain-free.

Their story matters because they were once in your position: researching surgeons, dealing with chronic pain, wondering if they'd ever feel normal again.

If you've been suffering from spinal or cervical pain, if traditional treatments haven't worked, or if you're looking for a specialist who focuses specifically on artificial disc replacement, this is the kind of result that's possible.

We started replacing hips and knees decades ago, so why are we still fusing spines?

When your hip wears out, you get a new one that moves naturally. When your knee fails, you replace it with full function restored.

However, when spinal discs deteriorate, we often fuse vertebrae, thereby limiting motion permanently.

It’s time spine care caught up with the rest of orthopedics. Your spine deserves 21st-century solutions.

You can call Dr. Lanman anti-fusion, but you can’t call him old-fashioned. He’s witnessed and experienced firsthand the life-changing power of disc replacement. It’s time the rest of the field gets on board.

Motion is life! Every bend, every twist, and every

Motion is life! Every bend, every twist, and every turn of your head recruits your spine and its natural movement.

Fusion is a compromise. It limits that motion for the rest of your life, while ADR preserves it.

The choice is yours: live with limitations or live limitlessly. Your spine is worth more than “good enough.”

The question is, what is it worth to you?

Do you have Flat Back syndrome? This complex spina

Do you have Flat Back syndrome? This complex spinal condition refers to the loss of the natural lumbar curve in the lower spine, causing you to lean forward. This misalignment makes it difficult to stand upright and often results in compensatory strain on other parts of the body.

Degenerative disc disease, spinal surgery complications, congenital or developmental abnormalities, or aging and postural changes are all potential causes.

To diagnose this syndrome correctly, Dr. Lanman analyzes each patient through his 4D Health lens, which considers factors beyond spinal mechanics, such as age, activity level, lifestyle, and hormone status.

Discover the surgical and non-surgical treatments for this condition and find answers to the most frequently asked questions at the link in our bio.

Before every surgery, Dr. Lanman mentally rehearses the entire procedure - twice. Once the night before while reviewing imaging and notes, and again the morning of. So when he walks into the OR, it’s not the first time he’s done it - it’s the third.

Here, he and ADR Spine Top Doctor Dr. Joel Beckett work side by side, focused solely on restoring motion and eliminating pain. When your spine is on the line, this is the level of intention that matters.

It’s not your grandfather’s spine surgery anymore!

If you think spine surgery means months in bed and massive scars, think again.

Today, we utilize minimally invasive techniques through tiny incisions. Many patients walk the same day, and most return to activities in weeks, not months.

Before there was Artificial Disc Replacement, spinal fusion was the best option, but that significantly limited natural motion. ADR allows you to maintain your spine’s flexibility while alleviating pain.

The future of spine care is here and now.

Even minor spinal deformities can significantly impact posture, mobility, and quality of life.

Patients suffering from specific types of spinal misalignment, like degenerative scoliosis, kyphosis (rounding of the spine), or loss of disc height or alignment, can take a modern, minimally invasive path to a more active and pain-free life through artificial disc replacement.

ADR can help re-establish natural disc spacing and curvature, improve alignment, and protect adjacent segments while preserving spinal motion.

Find ADR candidate qualifications at the link in bio and schedule a consultation with Dr. Lanman or an ADR Top Doctor in Arthroplasty to determine whether this treatment is right for you.
