How Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® works ?

Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® for the facet joint is only available at Deuk Spine Institute. Patients are put under “twilight” sedation in the operating room and a 4-mm incision is made in the skin around the painful facet joint. The Deuk Plasma Wand® is navigated by the surgeon using medical image guidance to pre-selected locations around the painful facet joint where articular branches of the sensory nerves can be targeted and destroyed. Recovery usually takes 30 minutes then patients are discharged home with an adult driver. Normal activity can be resumed the next day as there are no postoperative restrictions.

A Patient-Focused Spinal Procedure

When you ask patients suffering with chronic back pain or neck pain what is important to them in a treatment, their answers are generally the same. First of all, they want to be out of pain. This is now possible. The Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® procedure eliminates on average 99% of facetogenic pain permanently and with just one treatment. Secondly, patients want a safe surgery with little risk of complications. Because of its unique minimally invasive technique, Deuk Plasma Rhizotomny® has been performed over 500 times in 3+ years at Deuk Spine Institute without a single surgical complication. Next on the list of importance is returning to normal activities, along with work, sports and travel. Our Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® patients recover from surgery in just one hour and return to normal activities the next day with no restrictions. No narcotic or opioid painkillers are needed, bleeding is minimal (less than 3ml on average), surgical pain is usually gone by the next morning and the result is permanent pain relief from facet injuries such as facet arthropathy, facet hypertrophy, facet arthritis. Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® is simply the best solution worldwide for chronic facetogenic back and neck pain. See if you are a candidate with our Free MRI Review
