Dr. Joseph Chabot specializes in Total Disc Replacement, a minimally-invasive spine surgery that has been shown to reduce recovery time1 while strengthening the potential results—including greater range of motion2 and pain reduction2.
This is achieved through the use of Centinel Spine's Total Disc Replacement Systems, one of the most studied disc replacements in the world—with more than 275,000 device implantations3, 540+ published studies4, and a less than 1% revision rate5 over a 35-year history of clinical success6.
