Advanced Disc Replacement at NYSI Bronx

When chronic back or neck pain makes it hard to work, commute, or care for your family, you need a solution that delivers long-term relief without sacrificing mobility. At New York Spine Institute, we offer Total Disc Replacement (TDR) in the Bronx as an advanced alternative to traditional spinal fusion—restoring function while preserving the natural movement of your spine.

Located at 1200 Waters Place, Suite M105, our Bronx office connects patients across Morris Park, Pelham Parkway, and Throgs Neck with cutting-edge spine care that’s close to home and focused entirely on your quality of life.

What Is Total Disc Replacement?

Total Disc Replacement (TDR), also known as artificial disc replacement, is a minimally invasive spine surgery that replaces a damaged spinal disc with a prosthetic implant. Unlike spinal fusion—which restricts movement at the treated level—TDR allows your spine to retain its natural flexibility and function.

Ideal Candidates for Disc Replacement:

Active patients who want to avoid spinal stiffness
Individuals with degenerative disc disease (DDD) or disc herniation
Those seeking motion-preserving treatment for localized neck or back pain
Patients looking to recover faster and reduce wear on nearby spinal levels

Conditions We Treat with Disc Replacement

Disc replacement may be recommended if you’ve been diagnosed with:

Cervical or lumbar degenerative disc disease
Herniated discs that don’t respond to therapy
Chronic discogenic pain without major instability
Disc collapse where spinal alignment is preserved

We perform a detailed evaluation of your symptoms, history, and imaging to determine whether disc replacement is the best option.

Benefits of Artificial Disc Replacement

TDR offers a wide range of advantages for the right patient—especially those who want to stay mobile and return to active living:

Preserved range of motion in the spine
Lower risk of degeneration in adjacent discs
Quicker recovery and return to work or daily routines
Improved posture and spinal mechanics
Minimally invasive technique for less downtime

This is especially important for Bronx residents balancing work, commuting, and family life.

What to Expect: Procedure & Recovery
