Deuk Piriformis Release® is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that permanently eliminates piriformis syndrome by releasing the damaged muscle fibers from their attachment point at the hip.
I pioneered and patented this procedure at Deuk Spine Institute in 2024 with my son, Arias Deukmedjian, after watching too many patients suffer needlessly with this debilitating condition. Our procedure was designed to treat the source of piriformis syndrome directly, without the muscle damage of traditional open release surgery.

Patented and FDA compliant, Deuk Piriformis Release® is currently available exclusively at Deuk Spine Institute.

Piriformis syndrome always begins with a tear across the belly in the middle of the piriformis muscle, usually from bending over and twisting, originating at the lateral border of the sacrum and inserting onto the greater trochanter of the hip, running deep beneath the gluteus maximus.
The most common predisposing condition. When your back hurts from disc injuries or facet joint problems, compensatory movements place abnormal stress on the piriformis muscle, setting the stage for injury.
A minimally invasive procedure using a specialized probe through a 4mm skin incision to release the piriformis tendon from the greater trochanter.
With a 4mm skin incision positioned over your hip, medical imaging is used to direct a specialized probe to the attachment point where the piriformis tendon connects to the hip bone at the greater trochanter.
Once the probe tip reaches the piriformis tendon attachment at the greater trochanter, the damaged parts of the tendon are carefully transected, releasing the muscle from its insertion point. This eliminates the constant tension pulling the torn muscle belly apart.
Once released from the hip bone, the muscle can finally heal completely because the mechanical stress causing repeated reinjury has been eliminated. Because the muscle belly is not being cut as with traditional myotomy, there is no significant bleeding, minimal post-procedure pain, and no visible disfigurement.
Immediate
Most patients experience dramatic pain relief within hours of the procedure
Permanent
Addresses the structural problem, not just symptoms—lasting results
Minimal
Some soreness lasting up to two weeks, typically requiring no pain medication

Deuk Piriformis Release® is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that permanently addresses piriformis syndrome by releasing the damaged muscle fibers from their attachment point at the hip. It is performed through a 4mm incision using a specialized probe guided by medical imaging, without the extensive muscle cutting required by traditional myotomy.
Traditional treatment for severe piriformis syndrome involves myotomy, where the muscle is surgically cut in half, causing significant bleeding, visible disfigurement, and months of recovery. Deuk Piriformis Release® instead releases the muscle from its attachment point through a 4mm incision, resulting in minimal bleeding, no visible scarring, and a recovery time of about 30 minutes.
Piriformis syndrome typically begins with a tear across the belly of the piriformis muscle, often caused by bending forward while simultaneously twisting at the waist. Common risk factors include deconditioning from lack of exercise, improper body mechanics during lifting, and chronic back pain, which can create compensatory movement patterns that place abnormal stress on the piriformis muscle.
Most patients experience dramatic pain relief within hours of the procedure and are ready to leave within about 30 minutes. Normal activities can typically resume the next day, with some mild soreness lasting up to two weeks that usually requires no pain medication.
Based on clinical experience with the procedure, patients report an average of 99% pain relief, with a complication rate of 0.01%.
