Thoracic Herniated Disc Relief After Deuk Laser Repair
Summary
A patient from Georgia came to Deuk Spine Institute after suffering two years of debilitating back pain, tired legs, and rib pain caused by a herniated disc at T8-9 in his thoracic spine. Having refused spinal fusion surgery recommended by other physicians and feeling hopeless, he discovered Deuk Spine Institute through a YouTube search. Just 12 hours after undergoing the Thoracic Deuk Laser Disc Repair®, he woke up pain-free, was able to get out of bed on his own for the first time in years, and left with a smile — and a strong recommendation for anyone struggling with back problems to seek out Dr. Deuk.

Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Good morning, I'm Dr. Ara Deukmedjian. It's February 12th, 2025. I'm sitting here with one of my patients who underwent the Thoracic Deuk Laser Disc Repair for a herniated disc in his thoracic spine. You came to us with horrific pain in your spine, and you came from Georgia. You had your surgery done 12 hours ago, and here you are after surgery. How do you feel?
Patient: I feel no more tired legs, no more hurting ribs. I don't know how to feel right now. I've had a hurting back for 2 years, been very depressed, felt hopelessness.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: And why did you feel hopeless? Because the other doctors couldn't help you?
Patient: Well, I didn't want to go the route they wanted to do. I didn't want no fusions or nothing like that. I was on the verge of giving up — I basically didn't want to live no more. And I told myself I just can't do this no more. And I did — I got online, just happened one day, typed in back surgery on YouTube, and I seen Deuk Spine. So I started looking and watching, and I was like, I'm going this route. I'm glad I did.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: You can actually see we did your surgery yesterday in the thoracic — it was not easy to get into the disc, but we eventually did. Fixed your T8-9 herniation. You could see the laser in there cleaning up the pieces of herniation that were causing all that pain. Now here you are — when did you realize the pain was gone?
Patient: Immediately after I woke up from surgery.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Yes, right! Look at you, you're smiling!
Patient: It was awesome. I mean, getting up this morning wasn't like it usually is. I mean, I got straight up, and the other times I basically had to crawl out of bed. Been a long road — my body don't know how to act right now.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Well, you've got a lot of good living ahead of you now that your back's fixed. Anything you want to say to the rest of the world?
Patient: If you're having back problems and don't know which way to turn, I advise you to do your research. Find Deuk Spine. Deuk will fix your back — I guarantee it.
Dr. Ara Deukmedjian: Thank you so much, sir. Safe travels home.
Patient: Thank you. All right.
