Newburgh, NY Total Disc Replacement

A motion-preserving alternative to spinal fusion—right here in the Hudson Valley.

Regain Flexibility and Relieve Pain at NYSI Newburgh

Chronic neck or back pain can disrupt every part of your life—from work and travel to exercise and sleep. At New York Spine Institute in Newburgh, NY, we offer total disc replacement (TDR) as a modern, minimally invasive solution to help patients maintain spinal mobility and avoid the limitations of traditional fusion surgery.

Conveniently located at 12 Hudson Valley Professional Plaza, our Orange County spine specialists deliver expert evaluation, advanced imaging, and personalized care plans for patients seeking long-term relief from disc-related pain.

What Is Total Disc Replacement?

Total disc replacement, also called artificial disc replacement, involves removing a damaged spinal disc and replacing it with a synthetic implant designed to preserve movement between vertebrae. Unlike spinal fusion, which fuses bones together and limits flexibility, TDR maintains natural motion and function in the neck or lower back.

Disc replacement may be performed in the:

Cervical spine (neck)
Lumbar spine (lower back)

Our board-certified spine surgeons will help determine the right option based on your symptoms, spine health, and lifestyle goals.

Conditions Treated with Disc Replacement

Patients in Newburgh and surrounding areas may benefit from disc replacement if they experience:

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) with localized pain
Herniated discs in the neck or lower back that don’t respond to therapy
Disc collapse without severe spinal instability
Chronic back or neck pain despite physical therapy and injections

Disc replacement is best for active individuals with healthy spinal alignment and no significant arthritis or instability at the affected level.

Advantages Over Spinal Fusion

TDR offers several benefits compared to traditional spinal fusion surgery, especially for younger or more active patients:

Maintains flexibility and range of motion
Reduces strain and degeneration on adjacent spinal segments
Leads to shorter recovery and faster return to activity
Involves smaller incisions and less postoperative pain
Preserves natural movement for better long-term outcomes

For Hudson Valley patients who want to stay active without compromising spine health, disc replacement is a compelling option.

What to Expect: Your Procedure and Recovery

During Surgery:

Disc replacement surgery is typically performed using a minimally invasive approach and takes about 1–2 hours. During the procedure, your surgeon will:

Remove the damaged disc
Insert an artificial implant that mimics natural disc movement
Confirm correct alignment with real-time imaging

After Surgery:

Most patients return home the same day or next
Light activity resumes within 1–2 weeks
Physical therapy is recommended to support healing and strength
Follow-up imaging ensures the implant remains stable and effective.

Our Newburgh team will be with you throughout your recovery, offering support and guidance to ensure a smooth and successful outcome.
