Sometimes the question isn’t simply, “How do we fix the problem?” It’s also, “How much healthy function can we preserve?” That perspective is central to motion-preserving spine care. At Cuéllar Spine, Dr. Jason M. Cuéllar considers both immediate symptom relief and how a treatment may affect the way the spine functions for years to come.

Most spine surgeons will tell you you’re “not a candidate” for a total disc replacement (TDR) when you actually are.
It usually isn’t because TDR is wrong for your neck or back. It comes down to three underlying reasons:
1. Training & Volume Bias
Most orthopedic and neurosurgeons were trained primarily in traditional spinal fusion. Performing a motion-preserving total disc replacement requires specialized fellowship training, a high volume of TDR cases to overcome the difficult learning curve - If a surgeon doesn’t perform TDRs routinely, they will default to recommending a fusion.
2. Outdated Selection Criteria:
Many practitioners still rely on strict, 20-year-old contraindication lists—labeling mild facet arthrosis, multi-level disc disease, or minor alignment issues as immediate dealbreakers. Modern motion-preservation techniques and advanced implant designs allow experienced specialists to safely treat multi-level disease and complex anatomy that traditional surgeons turn away.
3. Invasive Surgical Mindset
Fusion is often viewed as the easier, predictable “catch-all” solution to stop movement. But stopping motion transfers mechanical stress to adjacent levels, accelerating wear and tear (Adjacent Segment Disease). Preserving your natural biomechanics takes more precision, but it protects your long-term mobility and athletic lifestyle.
Before accepting a life-altering spinal fusion, get a second opinion from a specialist dedicated exclusively to motion preservation and total disc replacement. Your active future depends on keeping your movement.

Bone spurs can develop as the spine responds to years of degeneration and changing mechanics. While they don’t always cause symptoms, they can become problematic when they narrow the space around a nerve or the spinal cord. The key is determining whether a bone spur seen on imaging is actually responsible for a patient’s pain before deciding how to treat it.

Fixing chronic neck or lower back pain shouldn’t cost you your range of motion. 
For executive leaders, athletes, and high-performers, traditional multi-level spinal fusion often comes with a severe tradeoff: permanent loss of flexibility and increased stress on surrounding spinal segments (Adjacent Segment Disease). 
Multilevel Disc Replacement (ADR) represents a shift in advanced restorative spine care: 
▪️ Preserves Natural Bio-Mechanics: Restores fluid motion across multiple cervical (neck) or lumbar (lower back) levels.
▪️ Accelerated Recovery: Designed to get you back to your business, travels, and training cycles faster than traditional fusion.
▪️ Long-Term Joint Protection: Reduces unnatural stress on adjacent discs, preserving your long-term spinal mobility. 
Spinal degeneration shouldn’t slow down your lifestyle or compromise your performance.

A previous spinal fusion doesn’t necessarily end the conversation about motion preservation. In carefully selected cases, fusion reversal may allow a fused segment to be converted to an artificial disc, with the goal of restoring movement. Dr. Jason M. Cuéllar has extensive expertise in advanced disc replacement and evaluates these complex cases individually to determine what may be possible.

If you are about to have a spine disc replacement, I’m sure you are very concerned about the possibility of the implant popping out after the surgery. this is a very common question or concern amongst the patients and we totally understand why.
But not to worry…

Fusion and disc replacement solve spinal problems in very different ways. While fusion stabilizes a segment by stopping motion, Total Disc Replacement aims to provide stability while maintaining movement. At Cuéllar Spine, Dr. Jason M. Cuéllar carefully evaluates anatomy, imaging, symptoms, and lifestyle to determine which approach is most appropriate for each patient.

A recent study published by Dr Perez-Albela et al in Spine 2026 was a level 1 meta-analysis showing shorter recovery and greater return to work odds at 6wks, 3 months and 12 months after cervical adr compared to acdf.
I think it highlights and confirms what I have always known by my personal experience with my own patients but it’s nice to see it backed up by formal scientific research.

Recovery from spine surgery isn’t only about healing—it’s about safely rebuilding the strength and confidence to move again. Returning to work, exercise, travel, and other activities happens at a different pace for every patient. Following a personalized recovery plan can help protect the surgical result while supporting a gradual return to the life you enjoy.
