If you suffer from neck problems, you may have cervical disc disease. Disc disease can cause debilitating pain and loss of function.

Cervical disc replacement may be able to correct the problem while preserving range of motion. This is a great new alternative to fusion surgery.

Now Northern Colorado, Wyoming, western Nebraska and western Kansas residents have an option for cervical disc replacement close to home. Neurosurgeons Dr. Donn Turner, Dr. Hans Coester, Dr. John Viola and Dr. Timothy Wirt of Front Range Center for Brain and Spine Surgery perform cervical disc replacement surgery at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado and at Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, Colorado.

Under their expert care, patients are regaining mobility and function, and benefiting from long-term pain relief.

"I was in constant pain before. After I woke up from the cervical disc
replacement surgery, I could tell that the pain down my arm
was better. And now, just four days after surgery, the pain's
not there anymore."

Jana Elliott, cervical disc replacement patient
of Dr. Hans Coester and Poudre Valley Health System
