ACDF treats pinched nerves or cord compression in the neck by removing the problem disc, decompressing nerves, and fusing to stop painful motion.
Alternative: If your facets are healthy and it’s a single-level issue, Artificial Disc Replacement may be a motion-preserving option.
Post-op focus: safe mobilization, swallowing checks, and tailored physical therapy.

Don’t wait in pain — our expert spine specialists are available for same-day evaluations.
If pain shoots into the leg—or follows a crash or heavy lift—get a same-day evaluation. Red flags (weakness, fever, bladder/bowel issues) require urgent care. See Lower-Back Pain and Sciatica, then request an evaluation.
