Rhizotomy Surgery: Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy®

Eliminate joint pain naturally in 10 minutes with Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy®, a breakthrough procedure that uses plasma energy and a patented technique to permanently destroy pain nerves in arthritic joints without open surgery. Joint pain is the most common medical problem worldwide and the number one reason people visit their doctor.

Chronic joint pain most commonly results from arthritis in the joint caused by previous injury or age-related degeneration. While we cannot reverse arthritis, we now have a safe and effective way to eliminate arthritic joint pain without drugs, injections, physical therapy, or invasive surgery. A simple 10-minute outpatient procedure called Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® may be the permanent solution to joint pain you've been searching for.

How Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® Works

Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® for facet joint pain is available exclusively at Deuk Spine Institute. Patients receive twilight sedation in the operating room, and a 4mm incision is made in the skin near the painful facet joint. Using the proprietary Deuk Plasma Wand®, I navigate to pre-selected locations around the painful facet joint using medical image guidance. The articular branches of the sensory nerves are then targeted and permanently destroyed, eliminating the pain signal from the damaged joint.

The procedure delivers immediate and lasting results:

  • 30-minute recovery: Most patients are ready to leave within half an hour
  • Same-day discharge: Go home with an adult driver
  • Next-day normal activity: No postoperative restrictions
  • Minimal bleeding: Less than 3ml on average
  • No opioid requirements: Procedure pain typically resolves by the next morning

A Patient-Focused Approach

When you ask patients suffering with chronic back pain or neck pain what matters most in treatment, their answers are remarkably consistent. First, they want to be out of pain. This is now achievable. In my clinical experience performing over 1,000 Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® procedures, patients report an average of 99% elimination of facetogenic pain permanently with just one treatment.

Second, patients want safe surgery with minimal risk of complications. Because of its unique minimally invasive technique, I've maintained a complication rate of 0.01% across all our proprietary procedures. In over three years performing Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® at Deuk Spine Institute, we have had zero major surgical complications.

Third on the list of patient priorities is returning to normal activities, work, sports, and travel. Here's what sets Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® apart from traditional treatments:

  • One-hour recovery: Return to the recovery room and go home the same day
  • Next-day normal activity: No restrictions on movement or daily activities
  • No narcotic painkillers needed: Avoid opioid dependency and side effects
  • Permanent results: Eliminates pain from facet arthropathy, facet hypertrophy, and facet arthritis
  • Minimal surgical pain: Typically resolves by the next morning

Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® represents the most advanced solution worldwide for chronic facetogenic back and neck pain. The procedure permanently eliminates the pain source rather than masking symptoms with medications or temporary injections. See if you are a candidate with our Free MRI Review.
