Summary
A paralegal originally from New York who had recently relocated to Tampa had been living with progressively worsening neck and back pain for 30 years following a serious car accident on April 6, 1998. Despite chiropractic care, her condition had continued to decline and every doctor she consulted recommended cutting and placing metal hardware in her body, which she was unwilling to accept. Her sister helped her find Deuk Spine Institute as the right alternative. In a single visit, Dr. Deukmedjian treated a cervical disc herniation, cervical facet joint pain, and lumbar facet joint pain; all without metal implants. The following day she reported no back pain whatsoever, only mild neck stiffness, and was heading home to rest and enjoy the rest of her life pain-free.

Deuk Spine Staff (Luis): All right, good morning everybody. My name is Luis. I have been working for Deuk Spine and Surgery Center of Viera for the last 12 years. I have been watching and present for these amazing, life-changing surgeries with Dr. Deukmedjian. We have this patient over here. She had surgery yesterday. She had three different problems: one of the discs in the neck, and she has some facet problems in the neck as well, and also in the lumbar spine as well. And we fixed that yesterday for her. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Patient: Well, I come from New York. I moved down to Tampa in December. I’ve been dealing with this for 30 years. I got into a horrible car accident April 6th, 1998. It’s just been progressively getting worse, even though I had chiropractic care. So we sought out Dr. Deuk. It made the best option because I didn’t want anything else done to my body. I wanted to heal naturally. And you guys did a really great job because I have no pain in my back at all. It’s just a little stiffness in my neck.
Staff: How did you find us?
Patient: Actually, my sister helped me find the right person, because everybody wanted to cut me and put metal in, and I don’t want metal in my body. So she found the right person and I’m so happy. You guys are excellent.
Staff: So what do you plan to do right now after surgery is done?
Patient: Going to go home with no pain, relax. I work as a paralegal at home… thank God and I’m just going to enjoy the rest of my life. Thankfully.
Staff: What can you tell those people suffering from back and neck pain?
Patient: Don’t hesitate. Call Dr. Deuk. He’s the best.
Staff: Excellent. Excellent. All right. Thank you so much.
Patient: Thank you. I appreciate you. Thank you so much. Appreciate everything you guys did. Thank you.
Deuk Laser Disc Repair® at Deuk Spine Institute
These three surgical operations took place on one day for this particular patient at Deuk Spine Institute: The first is the Deuk Laser Disc Repair®, which treats a cervical disc herniation; the second is the Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® for cervical facet joint pain; and the third is the Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® for lumbar facet joint pain. The cause of all this was a motor vehicle accident that occurred 30 years ago. Every other provider she consulted recommended open surgery with metal implants. An option she firmly refused. The Deuk Laser Disc Repair® and Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® procedures are performed through tiny incisions with no metal hardware, no fusion, no hospitalization, and no narcotic pain medication. Allowing the body to heal naturally while permanently eliminating the sources of pain. The day after her outpatient procedures she was completely free of back pain with only mild residual neck stiffness. Patients who have been recommended fusion or metal hardware for neck and back pain are encouraged to explore a complimentary MRI review and virtual consultation with Dr. Deukmedjian at Deuk Spine Institute before proceeding.
