Newer Options for Spine Care Treatment
< Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR)
An artificial disc (also called a disc replacement, disc prosthesis or spine arthroplasty device) is a device that is implanted into the spine to imitate the functions of a normal disc.
< Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP)
BMPs are used to stimulate the production of bone in surgical procedures such as fusion.
< Intradiscal Electrothermal Therapy (IDET)
IDET is performed on a damaged disc to relieve pain by inserting a heated catheter into the damaged area.
< Percutaneous Vertebral Augmention (PVA)
Vertebral augmentation is used to treat fractures of the spine that occur because of ospeoporosis. Two options are available: kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty.
