Summary
A minister who had never had back problems developed back and leg pain about eight to nine months before his visit, as a result of a car accident roughly three years earlier. The pain caused him to limp. Dr. Deukmedjian performed the Deuk Laser Disc Repair® on a herniated disc at L3-4 to take pressure off the nerves. The next day, he was up walking, free of back and leg pain, no longer limping, and grateful for the result.

Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: CEO and founder of the Deuk Spine Institute. I’m here with one of my patients who happens to be a minister, who is suffering with back pain and pain into his legs, and we just did his surgery yesterday. You had the Deuk Laser Disc Repair®. How do you feel today, sir?
Patient: I feel great, I really do. I was in a lot of pain before the surgery and I really don’t have any pain at all right now.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Wonderful. Your surgery was just yesterday and you’ve already been up walking around?
Patient: Yes, sir.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: How long did you have that pain in your back and legs?
Patient: About eight, nine months, I’d say.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: And prior to that you were perfectly normal, or did you have pain on and off?
Patient: I had no pain in my back at all. I don’t remember, maybe once in my life, I have had pain in my back. But I’ve had this as a result of a car accident some years ago, about three years ago.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: I understand, the damage to your back. And you can see in our video that we use the laser to clean out that herniated disc at L3-4 and get the pressure off the nerves so that your back and your legs would start feeling better. How do your legs feel today?
Patient: My legs feel great, and I can walk without limping.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: That’s why you said I was limping before.
Patient: Yesterday I was limping, and today my legs are working fine. I’m not limping anymore. I’m really thankful for the pain being gone.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: It’s my pleasure. Anything you want to say to your fans out there?
Patient: Well, I believe that Dr. Deuk certainly has a gift given to him by God. He’s done a fine job, and everything he told me he was going to do, he did. I really feel great now. I’d recommend him to anybody with my problem.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Wonderful. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your sentiments. God bless you.
Patient: God bless you. Thank you.
Deuk Laser Disc Repair® at Deuk Spine Institute
This patient underwent the Deuk Laser Disc Repair® at Deuk Spine Institute for a herniated disc at L3-4 that was pressing on spinal nerves and causing back pain, leg pain, and limping after a car accident. Using a laser and endoscope, Dr. Deukmedjian cleaned out the herniation and relieved the pressure on the nerves in a single outpatient procedure. The next day, the patient was walking without a limp and without pain. Patients with back and leg pain from a herniated disc can submit their MRI for a complimentary MRI review and virtual consultation with Dr. Deukmedjian.
