Do you encounter physical pain, discomfort, or disability in your spine? Whether it is the mid-back, neck, or lower back, spinal injuries can cause severe obstacles and anxiety for patients. If a chiropractor, physical therapist, or medication has not helped treat your back or neck pain effectively, it may be time to consider speaking with a spinal surgeon.
There are a variety of different surgeries that help patients with differing problems. These include decompression laminectomies, spinal fusion surgeries, minimally invasive operations, and artificial disc replacement.
Today’s surgeons are gaining experience in microsurgery and motion preservation technology.
There are many technological innovations and medical devices constantly being developed in the spinal surgery sphere. For example, the medical device company LDR has had its Mobi-C Cervical Disc recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for two-level indications, according to a company press release. This is the first cervical disc in the country to be authorized for more than one level of the cervical spine.
“We are very pleased that the FDA, after an intensive review of our submissions, has determined that Mobi-C is safe and effective for both one and two-level indications in the United States,” Christophe Lavigne, president and CEO of LDR, said in the press release. “We are proud that LDR is first to offer an on-label, arthroplasty solution for the significant number of patients suffering from two-level cervical disc disease.”
If you have suffered from severe neck pain and have a slipped disc, you may want to speak with a spinal surgeon to see if the Mobi-C Cervical Disc is the right choice for you.
