The primary objective of this surgery is to improve the mobility and reduce level of pain amongst patients suffering from lower back or lumbar pain. It is relatively a new procedure but has gained immense popularity amongst medical practitioners and orthopaedic surgeons. 

Spinal discs are located amid the vertebrae or bones of the spine and works as shock absorbers or cushions for the vertebrae. These discs are also responsible for the motion as well as flexibility of the spinal column. 

However, when you age these discs start becoming weak and develop cracks and tears in the exterior portion leading to the problem of Degenerative Disc Disease. Moreover, there is very possibility that the internal part might swell out and press against the exterior part causing pain. 

The sole purpose of Artificial Disc Replacement is to replace the damaged disc while preserving the motion of spine. Finally, your back pain will subside and slowly vanish and there will be no risk of developing the problem at an adjacent level of the spine.
