Surgical Treatments for Spine Conditions
Cervical Treatments
Cervical Disc Replacement
The cervical spine is in the neck region and consists of seven bones arranged one on top of the other. Cushioning tissue called vertebral discs located between the vertebrae act as shock absorbers, allowing easy movement of the neck.
