ARTIFICIAL DISC REPLACEMENT

A NEXT-GENERATION ALTERNATIVE TO SPINAL FUSION

RESTORE MOVEMENT. RELIEVE PAIN.
RECLAIM YOUR LIFE.

UNDERSTAND THE PROCEDURE

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL
DISC REPLACEMENT?

Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR) is a breakthrough surgical procedure designed to replace a damaged spinal disc with an advanced artificial implant. Unlike spinal fusion, which limits movement, ADR maintains the natural motion of your spine—allowing you to move more freely and recover faster. This minimally invasive approach is ideal for patients with degenerative disc disease or disc herniation who have not responded to conservative treatments. By preserving mobility and restoring function, ADR supports a more active and pain-free lifestyle. It’s a smarter, future-focused solution for long-term spine health.

DESIGNED FOR LIFE IN MOTION

BENEFITS OF ARTIFICIAL DISC REPLACEMENT

Artificial Disc Replacement offers several advantages over traditional spinal fusion, particularly for those who value mobility and fast recovery. By preserving motion in the spine, patients experience less strain on surrounding discs and joints, which can prevent future issues. The procedure is less invasive, with smaller incisions, less blood loss, and shorter hospital stays. Most importantly, ADR provides lasting pain relief and restores function without compromising your ability to move naturally.

Maintains natural spine motion
Faster recovery and less downtime
Reduced risk of adjacent disc degeneration
Minimally invasive with smaller incisions

“THIS ISN’T JUST ABOUT REMOVING PAIN—IT’S ABOUT RESTORING YOUR LIFE, YOUR MOVEMENT, AND YOUR CONFIDENCE.”

AM I A CANDIDATE
FOR ADR?

UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPTIONS

If you’re living with chronic neck or back pain caused by a damaged spinal disc, and conservative treatments haven’t worked, ADR may be the solution. Ideal candidates are generally active individuals who want to preserve their range of motion and avoid fusion. A thorough diagnostic evaluation with Dr. Peloza will help determine if ADR is right for your condition and goals. Not every case requires surgery—but when it does, ADR can be a game-changer.

Common conditions treated with ADR:

Degenerative Disc Disease
Herniated Disc
Chronic Discogenic Pain
Spinal Stenosis (with disc involvement)

TAILORED TREATMENT FOR YOUR SPINE

TYPES OF ADR

CERVICAL DISC REPLACEMENT

Cervical ADR is used to treat damaged discs in the neck that cause pain, weakness, or numbness in the shoulders and arms. By replacing the damaged disc with an artificial one, patients experience rapid pain relief and improved mobility. Cervical ADR is particularly effective in maintaining motion and reducing the risk of future spine issues compared to fusion surgery. It’s a proven, motion-preserving option for patients with cervical spine degeneration.

LUMBAR DISC REPLACEMENT

For patients suffering from chronic lower back pain caused by degenerative disc disease or disc herniation, lumbar ADR offers a powerful alternative to traditional spinal fusion. By preserving movement in the lower spine, this procedure reduces pain, restores function, and minimizes recovery time. Patients often return to normal activities sooner with less risk of adjacent segment disease. Lumbar ADR represents a major advancement in spine surgery and overall patient quality of life.

FROM OUR PATIENTS

“I had disabling back pain interfering with my work, my sleep, and my leisure. After consulting several excellent physicians in Dallas who all recommended complicated fusion surgery I traveled to see Dr. Peloza and had surgery without a fusion and its downrange complications. 1 month later I am pain free and once again active in all daily activities. His staff is amazing and they coordinate all aspects of your care and do a great job on Tele care as well. Dr. Peloza cares about his patient's quality of life and their perception of care. There is none better when it comes to bedside manner, patient communication, expertise in the field, and access to care. Don’t want to be another 'Postlaminectomy syndrome on chronic pain meds' - Then this is the place to trust for your care!”
