Cervical Disc Replacement in Houston, TX

,A cervical disc replacement is a surgical procedure designed to relieve neck and nerve pain by removing a damaged disc in the cervical spine and replacing it with an artificial one. At The Spine Center, we perform cervical disc replacement using advanced techniques and medical-grade materials to provide long-lasting relief for patients struggling with herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, or other issues that aren't responding to nonsurgical treatment. Unlike fusion surgery, which permanently joins two vertebrae, disc replacement maintains motion in the neck while still stabilizing the area. If you're suffering from persistent neck pain, numbness, or weakness in your arms and live in Houston, Austin, or Dallas, TX, or Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL, we invite you to schedule a surgical consult with Dr. Saqib Siddiqui to learn if cervical disc replacement is a suitable treatment for you.

Cervical disc replacement surgery starts with an incision in the neck to access the cervical disc with minimal disruption to the neck muscles and tissues. Dr. Siddiqui will remove the affected disc and create space between the vertebrae for the synthetic disc. Once there's enough space, he'll place the disc implant, move the neck muscles back in place, and close the incision. Because this approach uses advanced implants, patients typically retain a more natural range of motion compared to fusion techniques.

Replacing a damaged cervical disc can relieve the pressure that causes shooting pain, tingling, or weakness in the arms. Many patients also notice more natural, comfortable neck movement as daily strain is reduced. The benefits of cervical disc replacement at The Spine Center include:

  • Frees pinched nerves to ease arm and shoulder discomfort
  • Restores healthy spacing between vertebrae for improved posture
  • Reduces the risk of wear and tear on nearby discs
  • Provides stability that supports both comfort and mobility
  • Helps patients return to work, exercise, and hobbies with greater ease

Before I saw Dr. Siddiqui, I was almost at maximum pain medication. I was homebound most of the time the last 2 years. I spent a lot of my time in bed because lying down offered some relief from pain. My quality of life was gone. I had already tried injections, burning of nerves and physical therapy. Nothing helped. I was in dire need of surgery. My doctor reffered me to Dr. Siddiqui. What a Godsend he was! I had a Lumbar Laminectomy done. It was a day of surgery here at surgery center , I woke up from surgery pain free!! After years of deliberating pain, I thought nothing would help me. Boy, I was wrong! Dr. Siddiqui is very caring and professional. I was walking again, I got my life back. I also had to have neck surgery, which he performed about 6 weeks later. I am getting out in the world and enjoying life again! I thought I would never see this day. Thank you Dr. Siddiqui!
