- What It Is
What Is an Artificial Disc?
An artificial disc replaces a damaged spinal disc to relieve pain and restore natural spine movement. It mimics a healthy disc’s function, keeping the spine flexible and shock-absorbing.
The disc has two parts:
-
Annulus: Strong outer layer for support
-
Nucleus: Soft center that cushions impact
Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR) surgically removes the damaged disc and implants the artificial one, maintaining stability while preserving natural motion.
- Benefits
Benefits of Disc Replacement Surgery
Damaged spinal discs can irritate nearby nerves, causing pain in the arms, shoulders, neck, or lower back. Artificial disc replacement relieves pressure, restores mobility, and reduces discomfort while preserving natural spine motion.
- Conditions Treated with ADR
Who should consider disc replacement?
Artificial disc replacement (ADR) is intended for patients with chronic neck or back pain that hasn’t improved with non-surgical treatments. Dr. Albert P. Wong carefully evaluates each case to determine if ADR is the best option.
Dr. Wong provides a personalized treatment plan based on your symptoms, imaging, and overall health to ensure the safest and most effective results.

Consultation
Your care starts with a personalized consultation. Dr. Wong reviews your medical history, imaging, and symptoms, answering all questions to determine if artificial disc replacement is the right option for you.
Disc Removal & Preparation
During surgery, the damaged disc is carefully removed. The adjacent vertebrae are prepared to secure the artificial disc and restore smooth spinal function.
Artificial Disc Placement
The artificial disc is placed in the prepared space and precisely aligned with the spine. Once confirmed, the incision is closed. Most patients can return home the same day with a companion.

Healing varies; some patients improve within days, others take weeks. Full recovery may take up to three months. Our team provides clear instructions and support for a safe, comfortable healing process.

Artificial Disc Replacement Surgery
Relieve chronic neck and back pain with artificial disc replacement surgery at Wong Spine. Led by Dr. Albert P. Wong, this minimally invasive procedure restores spine mobility, preserves natural movement, and offers faster recovery for patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and nearby communities.
Most patients notice improvement within days. Full recovery typically takes several weeks to three months, depending on the procedure and individual healing.
Cervical disc replacement targets discs in the neck, while lumbar disc replacement focuses on the lower back. Both aim to relieve pain and restore motion.
ADR preserves natural spine movement, reduces stress on adjacent discs, and generally allows faster recovery compared to fusion surgery.
Dr. Albert P. Wong performs the procedure by making a small incision, removing the damaged disc, placing the artificial disc, and closing the incision carefully.
You’ll receive detailed recovery instructions, follow-up appointments to monitor healing, and ongoing support to answer any questions during your recovery.
Costs vary depending on the procedure and insurance coverage. Our team can provide a personalized estimate and help with insurance verification.
Candidates typically have chronic neck or back pain that hasn’t improved with non-surgical treatments, with confirmed disc damage on imaging. Dr. Wong evaluates each case individually.
Many patients resume light daily activities within a few days, while full return to strenuous activities depends on individual recovery and Dr. Wong’s guidance.
Lumbar disc replacement is often an outpatient procedure, but some patients may stay overnight for monitoring depending on individual circumstances.
Some patients experience immediate pain relief after surgery, while for others, improvement occurs gradually over weeks as healing progresses.
