The resource addresses chronic back pain, degenerative disc disease, and herniated discs by providing accessible information on what the condition entails, why disc replacement can be effective, and what recovery involves.

The timing of this information reflects the growing acceptance of disc replacement as a motion-preserving alternative to spinal fusion. Recent high-profile cases, including Tiger Woods' L4-L5 disc replacement performed by Dr. Sheeraz Qureshi in 2025 for a collapsed disc and compromised spinal canal, have brought renewed attention to the procedure's credibility in modern orthopedic practice. While fusion surgery remains common, disc replacement offers patients with specific degenerative conditions the potential to maintain spinal mobility while addressing pain and instability.
Dr. Hess brings over 20 years of experience as a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon to Union, NJ. He treats conditions such as herniated discs, intervertebral disc disease, and lumbar radiculopathy more frequently than most providers.

Surgeons who combine technical skill with the ability to communicate clearly are well-positioned to create patient-friendly educational materials, and Dr. Hess's track record reflects both dimensions of care.
