Company Overview

Synergy Spine Solutions is a company founded by surgeons for surgeons.  We solicit input, listen to feedback and challenge the status quo.  We innovate by bringing engineering teams together with clinicians to understand the issues and collaborate to arrive at novel, useful and practical solutions to those problems.  We call it Simple Design. Real Innovation.™

Synergy Spine Solutions marquis technology, the Synergy Disc ®, is the only artificial cervical disc that combines cervical alignment and balance with natural motion for patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) causing radiculopathy and/or myelopathy. It not only provides a superior alternative to other artificial cervical discs on the market today, but it also offers a viable and preferred alternative to many patients whose only current option is fusion surgery.

Our Vision

The Vision of Synergy Spine Solutions is to identify and commercialize innovative spine technologies that help surgeons improve their patients’ quality of life and advance the standard of care.

Our Mission

The Mission of Synergy Spine Solutions is to increase the use of the Synergy Disc around the world, successfully execute the clinical and commercial pathway for approval in the United States and deliver innovative, complementary products that address unmet clinical needs.

The Synergy Spine Solutions Leadership Team has a proven track record of success with building medical device companies, markets, and creating significant shareholder value.
