Nancy had a two level artificial disc replacement in her neck with Dr. Jatana in Denver, Colorado. A traditional spinal fusion would have severely limited her range of motion in her neck, potentially putting more strain on the other discs. The two artificial discs provide motion preservation which lessens the stress on the remaining cervical discs.

JANET, as a pilot for a major airline, had pain symptoms in her upper shoulders that started eight months earlier. Over time, the pain began to radiate into her arms, ultimately causing some weakness in her hands. She tried physical therapy and some injections which didn’t provide any relief. But now Janet is pain free and back in the cockpit flying her normal routes.

CARLTON tracks the beginning of his 10 year neck problem back to a ski accident. As a retired physical therapist, he successfully managed his pain symptoms non-surgically for 10 years with exercises and stretches. The neck problem, however, returned after a car accident. His symptoms worsened to sharp stabbing pain in the neck and shoulder, along with numbness in his hand.

JAMES first started having neck pain symptoms at age 51. Initially, he thought the symptoms would pass in a day or two. Instead the pain began to radiate into his left hand with numbness — an emergency symptom implying a herniated disc was pressing on a nerve with the potential to cause permanent numbness.
