I get that they’re a private business - but you’d think they’d care more about people’s lives because of the type of business they’re in. Be very careful if you decide to take a loved one to

The only reason why this isn't getting 5 stars is due to the parking. Since I've started going there seem to be more doctors and so parking has become an issue especially if you park in the narrow bay

What you need to know about Artificial Disc Replacement in Cape Town

The medical procedure known as artificial disc replacement involves the extraction of a deteriorated or damaged disc nestled between the petite bones of the spine (vertebrae), which is then substituted with an artificially engineered disc. The operation has the ability to alleviate back discomfort, all while retaining your ordinary mobility. Customarily, this intervention is suggested for individuals experiencing persistent low back pain that has remained unresponsive to non-surgical treatment options such as chiropractic adjustments, medication, injections, or physical therapy.

What's the Recovery Time for Artificial Disc Replacement Procedures in Cape Town?

Rehabilitation time varies, spanning from several weeks to multiple months. You should anticipate regaining work capacity and resuming light tasks within three to four weeks. However, a more extended period is necessary before returning to full-scale activities, including exercise and heavy lifting. Remember, the specific healing timeline will hinge on factors such as your age, health status, and the exact surgery performed.

Well-structured rehabilitation schemes and strict adherence to post-surgery guidelines greatly enhance recovery. In this recovery phase, patients embark on a step-by-step program of increased physical activity. This encompasses designated exercises aimed at fortifying the muscles in the back and preserving spinal flexibility.

What's the Success Rate of Artificial Disc Replacement Procedures in Cape Town?

Thanks to skilled surgeons and state-of-the-art technology, the success rate of Artificial Disc Replacement in Cape Town is remarkably high. Positivity is frequently indicated by improvements in mobility, pain relief, and return to daily activities. After this surgery, more than 80% of patients successfully return to their usual lifestyles. However, a number of variables, including your general health, age, and any current medical issues, can affect how well the Artificial Disc Replacement goes overall.

Although this process normally yields trustworthy results, individual outcomes may differ. The total success rate can be considerably increased by keeping up with routine doctor's appointments and strictly adhering to the post-operative care plan.
