M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc Treatment in New Jersey

The M6-C device represents a new era in cervical disc replacement, offering a treatment solution that closely mimics the form and function of a natural disc. Unlike fusion procedures that bind vertebrae together and limit movement, this innovative design preserves essential flexibility while helping to alleviate pain caused by degenerative disc disease, disc herniation, or disc degeneration in the cervical spine.

We encourage you to call our Englewood office for more information about the M6-C artificial cervical disc and to schedule a personalized consultation.

How M6-C Works

The M6-C disc combines multiple elements to create a realistic simulation of a healthy cervical disc:

Artificial Annulus Fibrosus: A durable fiber ring that emulates the tire-like outer structure of a natural disc.
Elastic Nucleus: A gel-like center replicating the cushioning of the nucleus pulposus.
Titanium Endplates: Stabilize the implant by anchoring securely to the neighboring vertebrae.

Working together, these features help reestablish shock absorption, motion, and stability—enabling the spine to bend forward, backward, side-to-side, and rotate in a manner that more closely reflects natural cervical movement.

Benefits of the M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc

Some key advantages of choosing the M6-C for disc replacement include:

Motion Preservation: Unlike spinal fusion, this device maintains motion by mimicking the natural “give” of a healthy disc.
Shock Absorption: The gel-like center eases the impact on vertebrae, potentially reducing stress on adjacent spinal segments.
Versatile Application: Suitable for patients suffering from cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy when other conservative treatments fail.
Clinical Efficacy: In trials comparing M6-C to ACDF, M6-C showed benefits in nearly all metrics studied, improving overall neck function and patient comfort.

Surgery and Recovery

Similar to an ACDF procedure, M6-C disc placement involves general anesthesia and a small incision in the front of the neck. Dr. Stieber gently removes the problematic disc and then secures the M6-C in its place. The incision is typically about an inch long and closed with meticulous plastic surgery-style techniques to minimize scarring.

Following the operation, most patients undergo a brief healing period before gradually resuming regular activities.

Dr. Stieber's experienced team offers thorough guidance on post-surgical care, ensuring you understand how to manage pain, protect your incision, and safely rebuild cervical strength.
