Cervical Disc Replacement VS. Spinal Fusion

The Benefits of Cervical Disc Replacement vs. Fusion Surgery

At NJSS, we favor cervical disc replacements instead of spinal fusion surgery. The advantages of disc replacement over fusion include:

Quicker recovery times

Preserved range of motion in the neck

Reduced neck pain

Decreased degeneration of adjacent discs

Improved spinal stability and alignment

While cervical artificial disc replacement proves effective for reducing neck and arm pain from compressed nerve roots or spinal cord, there is limited long-term data beyond 10 years. The choice between disc replacement and fusion involves considering the potential long-term impacts on the spine and overall mobility.
  • I live in Arizona, but will not go to anyone else! They literally saved my ability to move, and stay mobile, so far twice. I had 2 collapsed disks, and they replaced them. They are amazing, and really helping to create better spinal care.

  • I highly recommend Dr Reiter and the entire staff at NJ Spine Specialists. From beginning to end, my back surgery was a complete success. Dr Reiter kept me completely informed all the way through and never had me waiting in his office. The administrative staff was super helpful in coordinating everything from pre op to getting bills paid. Can’t thank the entire group NJ Spine Specialists enough.

  • Dr. Kupershtein is the first doctor I had been to that sat down with me with my MRI and explained everything, the good, the bad and the ugly. I have found him to be patient, compassionate and conservative, not rushing to push me into surgery. He has presented me with realistic expectations of my spinal issues.

  • Dr Mark Drzala is one of the most attentive, concerned, detailed, and generous physicians I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with in my lifetime. He listens, spends time, orders the necessary tests, discusses the situation with you, and fully explains the possible treatment options available as well as their potential long term effects. He is amazing and everything a physician should be. You could not find a better doctor.
