10 Years of Debilitating Back Pain Gone in 12 Hours
Summary
A patient from Myrtle Beach shares her experience just 12 hours after outpatient treatment at Deuk Spine Institute. After suffering for more than a decade with debilitating lower back and buttock pain, she underwent Deuk Laser Disc Repair® for two painful discs along with a minimally invasive Deuk Piriformis Muscle Release®. Within hours, she reports walking pain-free for the first time in years. After exhausting failed treatments—including chiropractic care, physical therapy, acupuncture, and being advised to undergo fusion—she found lasting relief through precise, endoscopic laser treatment that addressed the true source of her pain.

Dr. Deukmedjian: Good morning I'm Dr. Deukmedjian. I'm here with a patient from Myrtle Beach. She came here because she's been suffering with lower back pain and buttock pain for years and she told me this morning just 12 hours after her surgery not even a full 24 uh it was outpatient she had two discs fixed as well as her piriformis muscle and how do you feel today?

Dr. Deukmedjian: So, you took a leap of faith to come here.
Patient: I did and I saw all your testimonials I mean it's just amazing, it's amazing.
Dr. Deukmedjian: Now the pain you had before surgery would be when you came here do you have any of that pain left?
Patient: No, gone, gone.
Dr. Deukmedjian: What was that pain like living with that pain every day?
Patient: Debilitating it's depressing it's very sad you know I have grandchildren I wanted to go places I'm retired I could hardly walk down the block so now I'm almost positive 100% I will be doing all those things.
Dr. Deukmedjian: Congratulations and you have a grandchild named Henry, don't you?
Patient: Henry James yes.
Dr. Deukmedjian: Yeah, we have a Henry here too everybody knows Henry he's the one who records all the surgeries. During your surgery you could see that we use the laser to clean out the tears on two of your discs that were causing you so much pain we tested them too we found they were causing your pain.
Patient: Yes.
Dr. Deukmedjian: During the surgery and then we also released your piriformis muscle we did it with a 4 mm incision just a Band-Aid incision and how is the buttock pain you had before?
Patient: Non-existent, of course, where you did the little cut is a little sore, but walking is not painful at all, it's a miracle.

Patient: It is permanent it's not coming back.
Dr. Deukmedjian: Thank you.

Watch Deuk Laser Disc Repair® in Action
Our goal is to be completely transparent about our process and procedures for treating back issues. We livestream surgeries with our patients' written consent, allowing you to observe our technique. This patient underwent Deuk Laser Disc Repair® (DLDR) on two lumbar discs, where we used a precision laser to clean out disc tears through a minimally invasive endoscopic approach. We also performed a Deuk Piriformis Muscle Release® through a 4mm Band-Aid incision to address her buttock pain. The entire outpatient procedure took one hour, and she experienced immediate pain relief without narcotic medications. DLDR® is performed without cutting or damaging healthy muscle, fascia, or bone, and without using risky hardware. After surgery, patients wake up to immediate relief and can often travel home the same day.
