White Plains, NY Total Disc Replacement

A motion-preserving solution for chronic neck and back pain in Westchester County.

Restore Movement with Advanced Disc Replacement at NYSI White Plains

Chronic spine pain can interrupt every part of your life—from commuting and working to sleeping and exercising. At New York Spine Institute in White Plains, we offer Total Disc Replacement (TDR) as a modern, minimally invasive alternative to spinal fusion—designed to relieve pain while maintaining your natural range of motion.

Conveniently located at 14 Mamaroneck Avenue, our Westchester location provides full-service spine care—including pain management and physical therapy—all under one roof. If conservative treatments haven’t worked, our team of board-certified spine surgeons can determine if disc replacement is your path to lasting relief.

What Is Total Disc Replacement?

Total Disc Replacement (TDR), also known as artificial disc replacement, is a surgical procedure that removes a damaged spinal disc and replaces it with a prosthetic implant. Unlike spinal fusion, which eliminates motion at the affected level, disc replacement preserves flexibility and function.

TDR may be performed on the cervical spine (neck) or lumbar spine (lower back) and is ideal for patients who:

Want to avoid spinal fusion
Seek to maintain normal spine movement
Have degenerative disc disease with stable vertebrae
Want to reduce the risk of future adjacent segment degeneration

Conditions Treated with Disc Replacement in White Plains

Our Westchester-based spine specialists may recommend total disc replacement if you’ve been diagnosed with:

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) in the neck or lower back
Herniated cervical or lumbar discs not responding to physical therapy or injections
Chronic discogenic pain not caused by instability or severe arthritis
Collapsed or damaged discs with preserved spinal alignment

Before any procedure, we conduct comprehensive evaluations, including MRI, X-ray, or CT imaging, to confirm that disc replacement is the most effective option for your spine health.

Benefits of Artificial Disc Replacement

For the right patient, disc replacement offers a number of advantages over traditional spinal fusion surgery:

Preserved mobility and spinal flexibility
Lower risk of degeneration in adjacent spinal segments
Faster recovery and return to daily activity
Shorter hospital stays—often outpatient or overnight
Reduced post-operative pain and stiffness

In a busy region like Westchester, our patients appreciate the quicker turnaround and motion-preserving benefits that help them get back to life faster.

What to Expect During and After Surgery

The Procedure:

Performed under general anesthesia
Damaged disc is carefully removed
Artificial disc is inserted to restore space and support motion
Minimally invasive approach when possible

Recovery:

Most patients return home the same or next day
Light activity resumes in 1–2 weeks
Physical therapy begins soon after to support healing and mobility
Regular follow-ups at our White Plains office to monitor progress and implant stability

We take a patient-first approach—providing a clear recovery plan, guidance every step of the way, and supportive care that fits your lifestyle.
