There are two types of back surgeries that your doctor may prescribe, namely – artificial Disc Replacement (ADR) and spinal fusion. While both are advanced ways of treating back pain, both have their own disadvantages. Although you will be given a thorough explanation on both those types of surgeries and the decision of opting for any one of them will lie with you – it is still very important to listen to what your doctor has to say.
Artificial Disc Replacement requires the damaged or worn disc between the bones in the spine to be replaced with an artificial or synthetic disc. This relieves back pain and enables the patient to get back to his or her daily routine only after a couple of days’ rest.
