lumbar and cervical disc replacement
Has anyone had both lumbar and cervical disc replacements?

Hi!
Well yes, disc replacements are considered alternatives to fusion with preservation of spinal mobility. However disc replacements may not be feasible/ possible in all cases; but where ever possible, should be considered over a fusion.
Hope this information is helpful.

Could this be an alternative to a fusion? Replacing the discs rather than just unblocking them/unclogging them.

Hi there!
Yes, one could undergo both lumbar and cervical disc replacements separately as long as both a feasible. You may like to discuss the possibility with your treating orthopedician.
