Summary
A patient from Niagara Falls who also visits Florida had been suffering from back pain for eight years. Unable to walk more than two to three minutes before the pain became unbearable, forcing him to wait in the car while his wife shopped and giving up the hour-long daily dog walks he used to enjoy with her. After learning about Deuk Spine Institute through a friend, he underwent the Deuk Laser Disc Repair® a 30-minute procedure using a laser endoscope through a tiny incision to clean out his herniated and degenerated disc. The following morning his eight years of back pain were completely gone, and he was already looking forward to walking normally again.

Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: With Deuk Spine Institute. I’m here with a patient who traveled from Niagara Falls.
Patient: That’s correct.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: You also visit Florida from time to time. And you found out about Deuk Spine Institute through a friend. You’ve had back pain how long have you had your back pain, before yesterday?
Patient: About eight years.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Eight years. Yeah. Do you still have that back pain that you had for eight years?
Patient: I don’t have the back pain I had. It’s gone. No, it’s gone.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Wonderful. And what made it gone?
Patient: It must have been your surgery or your yes. The Deuk Laser Disc Repair®. Yes.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: The surgery we did yesterday. It’s not a trick question. I was just asking because I wanted to hear you say it. But the Deuk Laser Disc Repair® is when we went into your back with a tiny cut, went in with a tube and an endoscope, I used a laser, and I cleaned out the herniated and degenerated disc that was causing your back pain. It took us about 30 minutes to do the surgery. And here you are the next day. How do you feel?
Patient: I feel great.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Great. That’s great. So tell us about your back before the surgery when you had that pain.
Patient: Well, I used to walk the dog probably an hour a day or two hours with my wife. And after I hurt my back, I couldn’t walk any more than two or three minutes. And now hopefully I’m going back to walk normally again.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Very good. So the back pain interfered with the things you wanted to do?
Patient: I couldn’t stand after a period of two minutes in a grocery store, I wouldn’t go in. I’d sit in the car, because in two minutes I would be looking for a chair.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: And when did you first notice that pain was gone?
Patient: This morning, when I got up.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Yeah. Excellent. Well, is there anything you’d like to share with everybody out there?
Patient: I would like to share that try it. First of all, it’s painless. And if you have what I have it’s the cure.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Excellent. Well, safe travels back home, doctor.
Patient: Thank you.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: You are welcome, sir. My pleasure.
Deuk Laser Disc Repair® at Deuk Spine Institute
This patient underwent the Deuk Laser Disc Repair® at Deuk Spine Institute for a herniated and degenerated lumbar disc that had been causing eight years of chronic lower back pain. Limiting him to just two to three minutes of standing or walking before pain forced him to stop. The Deuk Laser Disc Repair® was completed in approximately 30 minutes using a laser and endoscope through a tiny incision: with no hospitalization, no narcotic pain medication, and complete back pain relief achieved by the following morning. As this patient simply and powerfully put it: “If you have what I have it’s the cure.” Patients who have been struggling with back pain that limits their ability to walk, stand, or enjoy daily activities are encouraged to submit their MRI for a complimentary MRI review and virtual consultation with Dr. Deukmedjian at Deuk Spine Institute and can often find out within days whether they are a candidate for treatment.
