The process uses micro-machining for forming a prosthetic spinal disc in which one of more springs bias adjacent vertebrae apart and absorb shock. Instead of using conventionally wound springs, the entire prosthesis including the springs are formed by micro-machining a block of material. Imaging, load and other patient data provide the parameters for the prosthesis.
