Summary
A patient from Toronto, Canada had been suffering from herniated discs in both his neck and lower back for over five years following a traumatic accident, enduring nerve medications, narcotic painkillers, nerve block injections, physiotherapy, chiropractic care, and two rounds of nerve ablation therapy — all without lasting relief. After discovering Deuk Spine Institute online and sending his MRI in, he had a virtual consultation with Dr. Deukmedjian within 10 days and flew to Florida three weeks later. He underwent the Deuk Laser Disc RepairⓇ on his lower back first, followed by his cervical spine the following week. The day after his neck procedure — with both surgeries now complete — he reported that all pain, numbness, and leg weakness were entirely gone, he had taken no pain medication since being discharged, and described the experience as life-saving.

Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Good morning, I’m Dr. Deukmedjian. I’m here with one of my patients from Canada who traveled actually from Toronto to Florida to have the Deuk Laser Disc RepairⓇ to fix two herniated discs — one in his neck, one in his lower back. You had your lower back done last week, and we were actually supposed to do your cervical last week but we had our air conditioning break. We got it fixed over the weekend and you had your neck done yesterday. So you’ve actually had the Deuk Laser Disc RepairⓇ done on your neck and your lower back. How’s your lower back feeling?
Patient: Brand new.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Amazing, huh?
Patient: As if it was never injured. I still am in shock. I can’t believe that you were able to achieve this result after I’ve been suffering with this problem for just over five years now.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Yeah, since your accident. Trauma is the cause of herniated discs. You herniated your disc in your lower back. You had pain for five years. In Canada, what did they do to treat your pain in your back and your neck?
Patient: It started with medications — nerve meds, narcotic painkillers. I was instructed and told to have nerve block injections to help with pain management. I did physio, I did chiro. Finally, I got to a point where I started to do the nerve ablation therapy and I did two rounds of that. But the pain came back. And the pain always came back. I was looking for a repair — a permanent solution — so I could get back to having some normality in my life. I found the Deuk Spine Institute, sent my MRI over right away. I had my consultation within not even 10 days with Dr. Deuk in person — like, on Zoom. Three weeks later, I flew out here and I feel like brand new.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: It’s amazing, isn’t it?
Patient: Thank you.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: You’re welcome. You’re welcome.
Patient: This was life-saving for me because I didn’t really have a great life before this experience.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: And you can tell the pain is gone now.
Patient: Yeah. I was having numbing in my legs. There were days where I couldn’t even walk. I was completely debilitated, stuck in the house. Pain, numb. I thought I was gonna be paralyzed at one point. That’s how bad it was.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: And how are those symptoms now, now that you’ve had the procedure?
Patient: Gone. I have full feeling back everywhere. Like, it’s unbelievable. I can’t believe it.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: All with the Deuk Laser Disc RepairⓇ (DLDR). You can see we went in and we found the actual tear where the herniation came out in the back of the disc, and we used the laser to clean it out, to debride it. Now here you are, doing fantastic.
Patient: Yeah, thank you so much.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: You’re welcome. Is there anything else you want to tell your fans out there?
Patient: I did my neck. I did my lower back. I had the worst symptoms. I came here — an hour each procedure. This is the day after. I had my procedure yesterday at — what time did you take me in?
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Like, after nine maybe? Yeah, around 24 hours ago.
Patient: And I haven’t taken any medication since I was discharged and gone back to the hotel. Not even Tylenol. Like, I feel great. It’s unbelievable. I highly recommend anyone that’s suffering like this to just come out and get fixed, because you will definitely have a way better quality of life. Don’t suffer.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Yeah, don’t suffer. Don’t suffer. We can fix the back and neck. There’s a solution. Here’s the solution.
Patient: Thank you. This is real. Everything you see on the internet about Dr. Deuk is real. Any negative reviews you read about Dr. Deuk — they’re not real. They’re just people that are just not happy with themselves. Because I read them all on Google and had to make this decision, and I’m very glad I did. I believe everyone that was talking about their results, and here I am. So, thank you.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Congratulations, my friend.
Patient: Thank you.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Enjoy the rest of your life.
Patient: Thank you.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: You’re welcome. All right, let’s get you out of here.
The Better Way: Deuk Laser Disc RepairⓇ (DLDR)
This patient underwent the Deuk Laser Disc RepairⓇ at Deuk Spine Institute for herniated discs in both the cervical spine (neck) and lumbar spine (lower back), sustained from a traumatic accident five years prior. Both procedures were performed as separate outpatient surgeries within one week of each other. The Deuk Laser Disc RepairⓇ uses a minimally invasive endoscopic laser approach to locate and debride the annular tears causing herniation and nerve pain — addressing the permanent source of pain rather than temporarily managing symptoms, with no hospitalization, no narcotic pain medication, and full relief achieved within 24 hours of each procedure.
