In a region where many patients still view spinal fusion as the only surgical solution for chronic neck pain, Dr. Justin Kubeck, a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon at Ocean Spine & Pain, is leading the charge in a new direction. Dr. Kubeck is a regional leader in cervical disc replacement, offering his patients advanced, personalized care using the prodisc® C family of Cervical Disc Replacement implants—the most proven motionpreserving implants available in spine medicine today.
Unlike traditional fusion, which locks two vertebrae together and reduces mobility, cervical total disc replacement allows patients to maintain movement in the neck. This technology works to relieve pain in patients suffering from a degenerated spinal discs while enabling motion over the long term at the diseased spinal segment and potentially reducing adjacent-level degeneration and re-operations.1 With Centinel Spine and their prodisc line of implants (prodisc C, prodisc C Vivo, prodisc C SK, prodisc C Nova), Dr. Kubeck now has multiple options to ensure the best possible outcomes for his patients. Their Match-the-Disc™ platform is a unique approach toward spine surgery allowing surgeons to intraoperatively select the disc that best matches the needs of the patient and surgeon, and fit the optimal implant to the patient’s individual anatomy—offering a precision-matched approach to spine care.
“With Cervical Disc Replacement, we’re not just treating pain — we’re preserving mobility and improving long-term spinal health,” says Dr. Kubeck. “The ability to select the implant to match a patient’s specific anatomy is a game-changer.”
Patients throughout Ocean County and the Jersey Shore no longer have to travel to Philadelphia or New York City for high-level spine care. At Ocean Spine & Pain, Dr. Kubeck provides state-of-the-art treatment options in a community-based setting. He is one of a select group of spine surgeons nationally who routinely performs cervical disc replacement and is recognized for his commitment to minimally invasive, motion-sparing procedures.
“Spine surgery has evolved dramatically, especially in the cervical spine”, says Dr. Kubeck. “We’re offering high-precision solutions that are less invasive, more effective, and tailored to the individual.”
Centinel Spine’s prodisc implants are FDA-approved and engineered for long-term stability, designed to reduce the risk of adjacent segment disease (ASD), a common complication after spinal fusion. They are the most studied total disc replacement technology in the world and has been validated with over 540 peer-reviewed published studies and over 275,000 implantations worldwide. It the only TDR technology with multiple motion-preserving cervical anatomic solutions.
The prodisc design incorporates prodisc CORE technology, the basis behind predictable clinical outcomes of the prodisc platform, and after 35 years has been demonstrated to be safe and effective. The additional endplate designs for the cervical spine allow for primary fixation optionality as well as choices based on patient anatomical differences.
Kubeck went on to say, “By offering the multiple types of prodisc implants, I can better match the device to each patient’s cervical spine structure — which potentially results in faster recovery, less post-op pain, and more natural motion.”
