Great Success with Dr Braxton two level disc arthroplasty

May 27 2022 Dr Braxton performed a disc arthroplasty on my spine, 2 level c4-c5, c5-c6. I feel much better and my shooting pain, aching in my trapezoids, front of neck, rear neck upper spine area are mostly gone. I do want to mention that i attribute much of the success also is due to i am very diligent about exercising daily and stretching, using a theraband daily for my neck. If i was not as diligent about daily upper spine specific stretching, exercises, i do not think i would be doing as well. Overall i am very happy i did the surgery and very happy i did not fuse. I am 44 y.o. and have an 11 y.o. that is way into sports and playing basketball and baseball with him is important to me, from what i read about fusion, doing these sports is not as enjoyable after fusion. Glad i did the disc replacement. Prior to surgery i had some burning, aching, shooting pain at times, that is all gone post surgery, i never had issues swallowing, not even the day after surgery. I am still learning about being self-aware and paying attention to when the tightness in my upper spine, neck is approaching pain, as soon as that occurs, i take 10-30 minutes to stretch, theraband, foam roll and the tightness is totally gone. This same activity prior to surgery was only about 20-30% as effective as it is now. Again, very happy i did the surgery, thank you Dr Braxton and thank you Vail Summit team!
