Advanced Disc Replacement at NYSI Brooklyn

Chronic spine pain can disrupt your ability to work, commute, or care for your family. At New York Spine Institute’s Brooklyn office, we offer Total Disc Replacement (TDR) as a cutting-edge, motion-preserving alternative to spinal fusion—designed to relieve pressure on spinal nerves while maintaining natural mobility.

Conveniently located at 313 43rd Street in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park, our experienced spine specialists provide individualized care for disc-related pain, helping patients across South Brooklyn and the greater borough find relief and get back to living without limits.

What Is Total Disc Replacement?

Total Disc Replacement, also known as artificial disc replacement, is a minimally invasive spine surgery that removes a damaged disc and replaces it with a durable prosthetic implant. Unlike fusion surgery, which eliminates movement at the treated level, disc replacement allows for continued flexibility and function.

TDR is ideal for active patients who:

Want to avoid the long-term stiffness of spinal fusion
Are experiencing pain due to degenerative disc disease (DDD) or disc herniation
Seek faster recovery and reduced risk of adjacent segment wear
Require lasting relief that supports day-to-day movement

Conditions Treated with Disc Replacement in Brooklyn

You may be a candidate for total disc replacement if you’ve been diagnosed with:

Degenerative disc disease in the neck or lower back
Herniated cervical or lumbar discs unresponsive to conservative therapies
Chronic localized back or neck pain not linked to instability
Disc collapse with preserved vertebral alignment

Our Brooklyn-based spine team performs a comprehensive evaluation, including your medical history, symptoms, and physical exam, to determine if disc replacement is right for you.
