Neck Surgery | Cervical Disc Replacement | Nucleus Health 

I am so thankful I had this done on C5,C6,C7 ....I Love My Neurology Surgeon!!!! I Love that he made a real difference in my life!!!! 

Traveled to Barcelona Spine Center Dr Clavel neurosurgeon for Spinal Kinetics M6 lumbar and two low profile ESP cervical Disc implants. 80% of pain stopped immediately. Paid cash no regrets. I got my life back. Europe is ten years ahead of US. Sounds odd, but the artificial disc was invented in Germany in the mid 70’s and has been the epicenter of spinal implant excellence. FDA is slow and $14 million to get approval. So the best implants are CE medical approved in Europe first. For example the Spinal Kinetics M6 has been the go to standard in Europe for 14 years. It just received approval for one level in the neck in 2019 in US. The US has been focused on old techniques using fusion, how sad. My surgeon had performed 7700 implants with only two early on revisions. My M6 and ESP discs have a center nucleus that acts like a shock absorber when you walk there is an impact. Most US discs are hard materials and can transfer up to 100% of the energy through the spine. The problem is ASD Adjacent Segment Degeneration happens over time and wears out the next disc level. Same with fusion. My brothers former lady friend had to go back for more surgeries every few years for the next level up and was always in pain. I regret my 16 year old fusion and applaud technology and expertise that got my life back.

No. I'll stay on Meloxicam and Kratom. I'm 60 and been cut up way too much in my life for this...

It's amazing the sort things people can do it the medical field, now.

Can this procedure done from the back as well? Anyone?

I got this done on Thursday I have pain but no headaches till now.

Hey guys I have this problem where my neck bone shows but I walk straight could it be because I’m too skinny?

I have problem in C3,4,5 The herniated disc ruptured Then compress the my spinal cord Exactly center point I can't look at top side more than 1-2 mins

I wish my surgeon had done this rather than three level laminectomy with no stabilizing cage xcxxx

Can you play sports after this?

I'm tired of hurting every day.

Just had mine done on Wednesday C6-7

I have had a herniated disc in my neck for 21 years, since I was 13 and now I am 34, and the circumstances do not allow for treatment (no money). I have tried a lot to straighten the neck vertebrae with exercises at home, but the neck is less long than the vertebrae. Are there exercises to lengthen the neck in the house?

So far so good, im 2 months post op, i had a bit more pain that expected but it was mostly muscle pain. After a few days i was off pain meds and by two weeks i stopped nsaids daily and took them every other day. My only advice is if you have acid reflux to have Omeprazole ready at home, the intubation and moving my esophagus aside really irritated it and the reflux made the throat soreness recovery last longer than it should have

Proceed w/extreme caution to say "No!". My 2018 C5-6, C6-7 arthroplasties has too many bad outcomes: cervical "lordosis" (inward straight neck; limited stiff ROM); ongoing pain, and more.

interesting 👍

I’m having mine done in two weeks on c5/6. I can’t wait!

Is 2 days are enjoy for post operative care??

The best

Wow. They completely left out the part about monitoring for injury to the spinal cord during the procedure!
