Texas Back Institute was one of the pioneers in artificial disc replacement, performing the first one in March 2000 in the lumbar spine.

Helping reduce the pain caused by injured or diseased discs in more than 5,000 patients has been a lifechanging experience for these patients. Plus, these procedures and patient followups have provided an extensive trove of data on the efficacy of this groundbreaking treatment. After more than 20 years, Texas Back has participated in more than 14 different FDA trials of both cervical and lumbar discs.

These longerterm studies have shown that with disc replacement, spinal motion is maintained, and there is less of a chance of needing more surgery in the future.

Recently, three Texas Back Institute colleagues—Dr. Richard Guyer, Dr. Scott Blumenthal, and Dr. Jessica Shellock—sat down to discuss the evolution of the artificial disc replacement procedure. To see the full blog post visit: https://texasback.com/howhasartific...
