The patented design of the implant includes a fixed center of rotation and a central “keel”—allowing a normal range of motion while providing stability to the spine and significantly reducing reoperations at the adjacent levels.

prodisc® C has been shown to facilitate a quicker return to active life after your disc replacement surgery. It has also been shown to enable patients to retain their range of motion, enabling the spine to flex over the long-term.

Who is a good candidate for Disc Replacement Surgery?

Your spinal discs act as a cushion to absorb shock between the vertebrae during movement. Due to aging or injury, the spinal disc may lose its cushioning effect, resulting in a loss of disc height and causing:

• Irritation or pinching of the nerves
• A bulge or herniation of the disc,pushing disc material into the spinal canal
• Inflammation and pressure on the local nerve

If you experience any of these issues, then you may be a great candidate for Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery. Call Dr. Pribil to day at 407-357-0635 to schedule your initial consultation!
