What is Disc Replacement Surgery ?

Disc replacement surgery is a procedure used to treat ongoing back or neck pain caused by a damaged, worn-out, or severely affected spinal disc. The spinal discs act as cushions between the bones of the spine and help the spine move smoothly. During the surgery, the damaged disc is removed and replaced with an artificial disc that is designed to support the spine and allow natural movement. This procedure can help reduce pain, improve flexibility, and make daily activities easier. It may be recommended when other treatments, such as medicines, physiotherapy, or injections, have not provided enough relief.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms That May Need Disc Replacement Surgery?

A spine evaluation may be needed for:

  • Long-lasting neck or back pain
  • Pain spreading to the arms or legs
  • Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet
  • Weakness in the arms or legs
  • Difficulty bending, walking, or performing daily activities
  • Pain that does not improve with non-surgical treatment

Why Choose Dr. M.D.S. Sasidharan for Disc Replacement Surgery in Chennai?

“For 16 months I suffered immensely from low back pain. I saw countless doctors, had multiple MRI scans, physiotherapy, acupuncture — I tried everything. Every doctor blamed an L4-L5 disc bulge. Dr. Sasidharan carefully assessed my symptoms, concluded they did not fit that at all, and found the real cause. He suggested a targeted injection. Today I am 80% better and back to my daily activities. He saved me from unnecessary surgery, and from ineffective treatments based on mere assumptions.”

“I came to Dr. Sasidharan after six months of severe back ache with radiating sciatica. I had consulted ortho and neuro doctors and tried varma, ayurveda and acupuncture — none of it worked. He gave me a clear picture of the problem and the right solution. I had an endoscopic day-care procedure and was able to walk three hours after surgery, without the radiating pain. Seven days on, I sleep without pain.”
