Patient story
"The one question that almost held me back"
Jacob, one year after lumbar disc replacement
Myth vs. fact
MYTH: Artificial discs are experimental.
FACT: They've been used in the U.S. since 2004, and longer in Europe. Multiple devices are FDA-approved.

A better @summitorthopaedics
Same account and real doctors, now organized around what patients search for, with Dr. Robert Johnson's disc replacement work featured where people will see it.
What changed
- Bio says who, what, where and how to book in five lines: specialties, the disc replacement feature, the address and the phone number.
- Link in bio goes to the disc replacement page, not the homepage. That's the page with the biggest payoff.
- Contact buttons (Call, Book, Directions) turned on in the business profile.
- Six highlight covers in brand navy, mint and light blue so new visitors can browse by topic.
- A consistent grid: a "Disc Replacement 101" series in mint, doctor reels in navy over real Summit photos, and save-worthy guides in light blue.
Example captions
Post 1 · Disc replacement vs. fusion (carousel)Told you need a spinal fusion? Ask whether disc replacement is an option.
Fusion joins two vertebrae so that level stops moving. An artificial disc replaces the damaged disc and is designed to keep that level moving.
It isn't right for everyone. Candidacy depends on your imaging, symptoms and bone health. Dr. Robert Johnson performs both cervical (neck) and lumbar (low back) disc replacement here in Idaho Falls, and he'll walk you through every option, including when fusion is the better choice.

Post 2 · Meet Dr. Johnson (reel)Dr. Robert Johnson went into spine surgery because of his mom. After a car accident she had a spinal fusion and lived with its limits for years.
Today his practice is built around one goal: keeping patients moving. He trained at the Texas Back Institute and focuses on cervical and lumbar disc replacement and robotic-assisted spine surgery.

Post 3 · Save this: ice it, call us, or come in?Rest and ice fix a lot, but not everything.
Mild sprain → rest, ice, elevate
Swelling or pain after 3+ days → give us a call
Can't put weight on it → come in, since we hold slots for new injuries
Numbness, a visible deformity, or uncontrolled bleeding → go to the ER
Save this for the next time someone at home gets hurt.
