The C5-C6 disc is the spinal disc that most common

The C5-C6 disc is the spinal disc that most commonly needs replacement. Cervical surgeries are performed more frequently than lumbar because the neck is highly mobile and susceptible to wear and tear over time, leading to degeneration—especially in people with poor posture or who perform repetitive motions.

When degenerative disc disease affects multiple le

When degenerative disc disease affects multiple levels of your spine, you need more than a one-level solution!

Multi-level Artificial Disc Replacement replaces two or more damaged discs with advanced artificial discs so patients can maintain more natural movement and experience better long-term outcomes compared to traditional fusion. Each disc is designed to mimic the function of your natural spinal discs, working together to restore proper biomechanics across multiple levels.

If you think you’ll be in bed for months as you

If you think you’ll be in bed for months as you recover from artificial disc replacement surgery, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn this. 💡⤵️

On average, artificial disc replacement recovery time is just 3-5 weeks, but it does vary from patient to patient. Most patients can return to light activities and desk work within one week, but some may not resume full activity levels for up to 3 months.

Because the vertebrae do not need to fuse after ADR surgery, the recovery time is shorter than it is for spinal fusion.

#NationalStressAwarenessMonth Reminder: Pain trigg

#NationalStressAwarenessMonth Reminder: Pain triggers stress, and stress worsens pain. It’s an exhausting cycle, especially when conservative treatments haven’t helped your back or neck pain. Don’t live a life limited by pain and the stress it causes.

If you’re ready to find lasting relief and release the weight of the stress your pain has caused you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Lanman or an ADR Top Doctor near you.

#DidYouKnow that your spine has 33 vertebrae prote

#DidYouKnow that your spine has 33 vertebrae protected by shock-absorbing discs?

These discs can wear out over time, and when multiple discs deteriorate, it's called Multilevel Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) – and it doesn't have to mean living with pain forever.
Treatment options range from conservative approaches like physical therapy to advanced surgical solutions like Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR).

Unlike fusion, ADR preserves your natural range of motion, allowing you to return to your favorite activities with less invasive surgery and faster recovery times.
Don't wait until your options are limited. Early intervention provides more treatment possibilities!

Contact our office today for expert evaluation and a personalized treatment plan that puts your mobility first.

One conservative treatment option that your doctor

One conservative treatment option that your doctor may recommend for neck pain is injections. 💉Certain steroids and A2M injections can treat inflammation, relieve pain, and support tissue regeneration.

Before recommending injections, your doctor will evaluate several criteria, including the severity of your pain, any underlying conditions you may have, and previous treatments you’ve attempted. Your doctor may recommend other treatments first to see how your body responds or use treatments on top of injections to support healing.

Recovery is a journey. Working with a doctor you trust can help you explore different options and find the best treatments that work for you.
