Dr. Deuk is a board certified, peer reviewed neuro-spine surgeon and field pioneer with a focus on truly minimally invasive laser and endoscopic back and neck pain treatment. He serves as CEO and Medical Director at Deuk Spine Institute where he performs the revolutionary procedure that bears his name, the [Deuk Laser Disc Repair®](https://deukspine.com/treatment-options/deuk-laser-disc-repair/). ![Deukmedjian_scrubs_lab_coat_1_edited-2_close_head_shot.jpg](https://offers.deukspine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Deukmedjian_scrubs_lab_coat_1_edited-2_close_head_shot.jpg?width=320&name=Deukmedjian_scrubs_lab_coat_1_edited-2_close_head_shot.jpg "Deukmedjian_scrubs_lab_coat_1_edited-2_close_head_shot.jpg") Living with chronic back or neck pain can be a debilitating part of life. So imagine a patient driving, walking and shopping just one day after spine surgery. The Deuk Laser Disc Repair® makes this possible. Dr. Deuk’s technique has revolutionized minimally invasive spinal surgery. It’s a modern alternative to spinal fusion surgery and outdated laser surgery techniques and has a 95% success rate. It does not weaken or damage the spine and does not tear muscle. Deuk Spine has had zero complications in the eight years that Dr. Deuk has performed laser spinal surgery.   Deuk LaserDisc Repair is performed with such a small incision (the size of a thumbnail) and unlike all other spinal surgery, there is no collateral damage to normal spinal structures; therefore, it is the only spinal surgery that can be performed without the use of narcotic painkillers either during surgery or recovery. After Deuk Laser Disc Repair has been performed, patients recover with mild painkillers such as Tylenol and ibuprofen. Rarely do patients undergoing Deuk Laser Disc Repair need strong prescription pain medication after surgery. Other types of spinal surgery require the use of powerful and addicting pain medication usually for months or even years after treatment. DLDR is so gentle these dangerous painkillers are not needed or prescribed.  He developed the Deuk Laser Disc Repair® after recognizing a need for improvement in the field of minimally invasive spine surgery. He traveled the world to study emerging surgical technologies and procedures, and developed his own unique method of using laser technology to heal the spine. Believing in this procedure’s power to improve lives and end pain, he personally invested in the state-of-the-art equipment and facility needed to make the Deuk Laser Disc Repair® available to more people. He has personally performed over 2,000 cervical decompressive discectomies and treated over 1,000 herniated or degenerated lumbar discs with no major complications in addition to over 300 laser spine surgeries with a 95% success rate in elimination of pain. **Dr. Deuk is media-ready and available for interview on the following evergreen topics:** - The Future of Medicine, Surgical Techniques and Medical Technology - The State of Healthcare and the American Economy - Back and Neck Pain, a 150 Billion Dollar Industry – Why So Many Americans Suffer From Neck and Back Pain - Sports Injuries – From the NFL to the Youth Sports – Are Serious Sports Injuries On the Rise? - Pain Management & Narcotics– America’s Over Prescription Issue and How to Solve it  ***About Deuk Spine Institute and Dr. Ara Deukmedjian:*** *Known as “Dr. Deuk” to his patients, he is a renowned neuro-spine surgeon with a focus on minimally invasive, laser and endoscopic back and neck pain treatment, Dr. Deuk is a pioneer in his field.
