New member considering 2-level Cervical ADR: M6, NeoDisc, ProDisc, Mobi-C ...?
Hello everyone,
After a cycling accident this Spring, an MRI revealed degeneration at two cervical discs (C5-6 and C6-7) with nerve impingement causing arm pain and weakness.
I’ve looked into two very different new discs that claim to provide shock absorbing capability:
- M6 - used in Europe at Stenum and other locations
- NeoDisc - just completed clinical trials in the U.S.
Would really appreciate any feedback from folks who have had these or know about them. Thanks!
Best,
Tyler
