St. Louis, MO – Centinel Spine®, LLC, a leading global medical device company addressing cervical and lumbar spinal disease through anterior surgical access, released its latest patient education video, focusing on Disc Replacement Center of Saint Louis’ orthopedic nurse practitioner, active mother, and prodisc C recipient Loren Vandergriff.

As someone who was deeply familiar with the full spectrum of surgical procedures for the treatment of spinal diseases, Loren evaluated and made countless recommendations to her patients before her own debilitating neck, arm, and hand discomfort caught up with her. Faced with the reality that surgery was her most viable option to remedy the pain she was experiencing, Loren knew exactly what device she wanted implanted in her neck, prodisc C, after recognizing what she describes as a consistent record of positive patient outcomes.

Loren had surgery with prodisc C in July 2020 and couldn’t be happier with the results. In consultation with her surgeon, she was back to work right away and can now perform all of the vigorous workouts and activities that she had to forego for so long while suffering from the spine-related pain.

This surgery changed my life significantly ... I would say I'm a huge advocate for a disc replacement because my outcome has been so positive in so many ways.
