The Artificial Disk Replacement is the focus of Clinic International in Germany. Clinic International is working with CosmeticVacations to serve patients from around the world to get the best medical treatment and care available for the treatment of the spinal column.
The spinal column is made of discs of soft cushioning in between the bones, or "vertebra." In most cases, the disc is flexible enough to allow the spine to bend, but for some, chronic back pain inhibits these normal functions.
An artificial disc, or disc replacement, is a device that is implanted into the spine to imitate the functions of a normal disc. It will be able to carry the body load and allow for fluid body movement.
Artificial Disc Replacement, or ADR, is a complex and highly innovative procedure used to treat back pain. For this reason it is essential that the right patient is paired with the most experienced physician. At present, it is thought that the best candidates for spinal disc replacement are adults with a one level symptomatic degenerative disc. The patients whose bones may not be as strong due to aging, or some other bone disorder, may develop problems if the implant settles into the "soft" bone. Therefore, these individuals are not considered optimal candidates for this type of procedure.
CosmeticVacations will arrange for patients from all over the world to meet with the expert orthopedic surgeons in Germany to determine if Artificial Disc Replacement is right for you.
