Prodisc® L Patient Stories

“I haven’t had a single pain from my back, leg, or foot since the operation. I never give my back a second thought. I’m able to work and train without limitation.”

Jon lived with progressive lumbar back pain for over a decade. In 2023, chronic sciatica from a severely herniated disc left him immobilised and in significant pain – unable to work, let alone train.

After a lengthy wait, he was offered spinal fusion but it was far from certain if he would be mobile enough afterwards to return to work or sport. Months of recovery and prolonged absence from work were also not an option.

He found SpinePro and had a Prodisc® L disc replacement at CCV Montpellier. After three months, Jon was back at work and completely pain-free. Nine months later saw him training as before.

“Well, I never felt better. I got completely repaired. No pain at all whatsoever. Thank you to Dr Grégory Edgard-Rosa.”

Sonia spent four years managing worsening leg and back pain with physical therapies, medications, and injections, but nothing worked. She realised she needed a surgical solution as her body was incapable of healing on its own, and permanent disability seemed to be only months away.

Late 2018, Sonia underwent a Prodisc® L total lumbar disc replacement procedure at CCV Montpellier. Soon after, the pain was gone and she returned to an active, pain-free life and the sports she loves.

A year later, she completed the Marathon des Sables in Peru, and she has since finished the Ultra Marin – a 175km race.
