Warning:

Not every patient is the right candidate for cervical disc replacement, which is why proper evaluation and conservative treatment come first. In many cases, patients are encouraged to explore options like medication, physical therapy, and injections before considering surgery.

At Modern Orthopaedics, cervical disc replacement is often considered for active patients looking to preserve motion while treating neck and nerve-related symptoms caused by disc herniations. The goal is always to find the treatment plan that best supports long-term mobility, stability, and quality of life.

Deadlifts can be a great exercise, but technique matters.

In this video, Dr. DeNoble shares his personal experience recovering from a herniated disc after a deadlifting injury. His takeaway? You don’t always have to stop exercising after an injury, but you may need to modify your routine and find movements that work better for your body.

Pain along the pinky side of the wrist can often point to a TFCC injury, especially when certain movements or pressure in that area reproduce discomfort. At Modern Orthopaedics, evaluating wrist stability, tenderness, and overall function helps determine the source of pain and whether further imaging or treatment may be needed.

From bracing and injections to advanced imaging like MRIs, the goal is to create a treatment plan that helps patients regain comfort, stability, and confidence in their wrist movement. If persistent wrist pain has been limiting your daily activities, it may be time to get it evaluated.

Cervical disc replacement is an advanced alternative to spinal fusion designed to relieve pressure on the nerves or spinal cord while still preserving motion in the neck. For the right patients, it can help reduce symptoms like neck pain, shooting arm pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, loss of dexterity, and even balance issues caused by cervical spine conditions.

At Modern Orthopaedics, the goal is to find the treatment option that best supports both pain relief and long-term function. If neck pain or nerve-related symptoms have started affecting your daily life, it may be time to get evaluated and discuss your options.

Your everyday habits could be contributing to neck and back pain.

Looking down at your phone for long periods and lifting with poor form can place significant stress on your spine over time. Simple adjustments, like bringing screens to eye level and lifting with your legs instead of your back, can help reduce your risk of injury.

Experiencing persistent neck or back pain? Our team is here to help.

What can recovery look like after a Jiffy Knee replacement?

In this video, Dr. Lee compares a patient’s progress at 2 weeks versus 8 weeks after surgery. While some swelling and discomfort are expected early on, many patients regain function quickly and continue to see significant improvements in mobility, strength, and walking mechanics over the following weeks.

Every patient’s recovery is different, but seeing progress over time can help set realistic expectations for the journey ahead.

TFCC tears can cause wrist pain that shows up during everyday movements like gripping, twisting, bearing weight, or even certain workout positions. Some patients also notice clicking, popping, or feelings of instability when rotating the wrist, especially along the pinky side of the hand.

At Modern Orthopaedics, a thorough evaluation helps determine whether wrist pain is related to a TFCC injury and what treatment approach makes the most sense for your lifestyle and activity level. If wrist pain or weakness has been interfering with your day-to-day activities, it may be time to get it evaluated.
