Artificial Disc for Chronic Lower Back Pain

Dr. Shelby Burks is proud to be the first surgeon at the University of Miami Health System to embrace this breakthrough approach to treating chronic lower back pain caused by degenerative disc disease.

After a review of patient outcomes from the clinical trial of activL Artificial Disc clinical trial as well as receiving our own feedback from patients, Dr. Burks believes that the activL Artificial Disc illustrates future generations of spinal disc replacement innovation. It comes closer than any other product before it to mimicking the natural movement of the healthy human spine.

We’re proud to be on the cutting edge of delivering better patient outcomes for those with chronic back pain. activL Artificial Disc is a leap forward in artificial disc design and has been proven to lead to lower pain scores and increased range of motion for patients.

“This is a major advancement for our clinical practice and it will demonstrate our ongoing commitment to providing advanced solutions for the treatment of back pain.

So far, we have had tremendous results with the activL Artificial Disc and have seen decreases in pain for our patients and faster return to work times,” said Dr. Burks.

We consider the artificial disc replacement to be the next generation of spine treatment for certain categories of patients having severe back pain.

Unlike fusion and other artificial disc treatments, activL Artificial Disc’s unique
design and technology creates much more healthy motion for our patients, leading to less pain and better outcomes.
