Sonia B. / Lumbar Disc Replacement for Back Pain & Sciatica
Sonia, a film editor, had always led an active lifestyle including playing sports, running and cycling. Around 2012 she felt some pain in her hip, then her legs, which progressed from bad to worse.
She tried to manage the pain with medication and physical therapies until one night, after skiing, she could not feel her arms and legs. She realised she needed a permanent cure as her body could not heal on its own.
Late 2018, Sonia underwent a lumbar disc replacement procedure at CCV Montpellier with Prodisc-L®. A few weeks later, the pain was gone.
Sonia progressively regained muscle strength over the next six months and recovered fully to finish the biggest race of her life: The Ultra Marin – a 175 KM race.
She got her life back.
LONG TERM STUDY OF PRODISC® L PATIENT OUTCOMES
CCV Montpellier undertook a long term study of 1,187 Prodisc® L patients.
The results underscore the benefits of total lumbar disc replacement.

Jon / Back to Building, Back to Life
Jon is a carpenter and triathlete who lived with chronic back pain for over a decade. In 2023, a ruptured disc left him immobilized – unable to move, let alone train.
Refusing spinal fusion, Jon searched for alternatives and found the CCV in Montpellier. There, he received a ProDisc L disc replacement – a motion-preserving solution that changed everything.
Today, Jon is back at work, training like before – and completely pain-free.
Jon has his life back.
