Spinal discs are the soft cushions between the bones of your spine, known as the vertebrae, which allow for a smooth range of motion. If your disc is damaged from injury or has deteriorated over time, it can result in pain or loss of mobility. Advanced, minimally invasive surgical techniques replace damaged spinal discs and, as opposed to traditional fusion surgery, preserves range of motion in the spine.
