New help for neck pain

There's a new disc replacement available for damaged cervical ( neck ) discs. In the old days surgeons would remove the damaged disc and fuse the remaining parts, together. Now they can put in a new part. It's called the Prestige Cervical Disc -the first artificial disc to be sanctioned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat degenerative disc disease of the neck. And yes, there are local doctors doing this procedure so check with your physician.
