Success Stories

Sean wanted to find a solution to his back pain that didn’t involve putting hardware in his spine, so he chose the Discseel® Procedure. Now he’s living pain-free and has been able to return to the lifestyle he loves.

After being told his only cure was spinal fusion surgery, Jim searched for an alternative and found the Discseel® Procedure. He is now back to his active lifestyle and has been pain free since his procedure.

When Erica began developing spine pain, she felt that the activities she loved were taken away from her.  Erica now says that the Discseel® Procedure has “100% turned her life around” and allowed her to get back to the things she loves, like running.

Charlie had always led an active lifestyle, but when he began experiencing back pain, he became hesitant to continue being active. Eventually, his back pain  even made everyday tasks difficult. The treatments he received gave him no relief, and Charlie feared invasive fusion surgery. Thanks to the Discseel® Procedure Charlie is active again and has no limitations!

When Hector fell off a ladder at work, his life changed forever. Constant back pain altered his life, and even his family life began to suffer. The Discseel® Procedure got him back to work within 7 days and he is once again able to enjoy his hobbies! 

When back pain stopped Jenny from spending quality time with her grandchildren, traveling, and even doing simple things like sitting down, she knew she needed to get help. After failing to get relief from spinal fusion surgery, friends recommended the Discseel® Procedure. Now Jenny has her life back and lives without pain!

Patient Reviews

“LEARN TO AFFIRM”

Amy please thank Dr. Pauza for getting my husband back.

Jane B.

Dr. Pauza has given me a chance to enjoy my grandkids, travel, and soon, retirement. I can walk a little more each week with out pain and without my legs going numb. It’s been a lot of years since I could do that.

Mark C.

Dr. Pauza and his staff were excellent. I had three ruptured disks in my lower back. My leg pain had been very bad for the last 4 months. Could not sit at all. Had my procedure completed on 4/13/21 and every day has been better than the previous. I am so happy to finally have relief and have a normal day without spending all day on my pain. I still have some lingering leg pain, but not nearly as bad and getting better every day. My back pain seems to be gone or disappearing every day. I could not be happier that I went to Tyler, Texas, from Ohio. I was very nervous about the procedure, but give Dr. Pauza the highest praise now.

Brian D.

My very first contact with Dr. Pauza’s office was nothing short of fantastic. Amy was the absolute best patient liaison I have ever worked with. The day of the Discseel® Procedure when Dr. Pauza came to talk to my husband and I about what to expect he was not rushed and took the time to answer every question we had. When we were all set he wheeled my gurney out of pre-op to the procedure room. My experience was the best I have ever had.

I am 10 days post procedure and my pain is almost completely gone. I have struggled with severe back pain for more than 20 years and never thought I would ever be pain free and this procedure is proving me wrong. Amy has contacted me several times checking on how I am feeling. That makes me so happy I pursued having this done. Thank you to Dr. Pauza, Amy, and all the staff at the Turtle Creek Surgery Center.

Cathi W.

Dr. Pauza and his staff go above and beyond for their patients. They are fully vested and care. They want to see you heal and improve your quality of life. Remarkable treatment and team.

I’m glad I did not opt for surgery and took this route. I have suffered from back pain for 12+ years, some days I could not put my pants, socks, or shoes on. I would get MRIs every year, I did ablation, injections, therapy and medication with minimal relief and all short term. One Neurologist said it was muscle pain, another just prescribed medication a third had me come in for shots every few months. Multiple specialists and all trying to lead me to fusion.

I’m a week post op and I’m seeing the signs this is working. I cannot wait to wake up pain free and not have to worry that in ten years I’ll need another surgery as is typically the case with fusion (I have two friends that have followed that path).

Marwan M.

Dear Dr. Pauza and Carrie,

THANK YOU for giving me my life back and the ability to dance again. Your Discseel® Procedure truly is a life saver. In the Palm Beach Classic Dancesport, my partner and I placed 1st in  Championship and 3rd in Scholarship. It was a long and tiring day, but I held up well.  I hope to see you both in Naples soon!

The Discseel® Procedure has solved my lower back problems, which other doctors have overlooked for the past 4 years. I wish I had known about this procedure earlier.
Chris Dreiling
I can be an over doer working in my yard, plus I had a 29% curvature in my low back. I had extreme pain get worse trying to lift weights. I had 4 leaky discs sealed on May 5th. Now in recovery mode, from my miles of flower beds, yard, and garden. It’s hard to not get back out there! But I’m trying to be good. My brother has had 6 back fusion surgeries, going on possibly 7. He has bolts all the way down his back. He’s still in constant pain. He needs to see my doctor!
Sharon Semtner
I agree with what everyone says about your procedure. Dr. F.D. Hussey in Naples was trained by Dr. Pauza. I was either the first or second patient dr. Hussey performed the Discseel® Procedure on. I am 100% better. Worth every dime I had to pay. What an amazing procedure. Can’t thank them enough.
Mary Murphy-Greene
It’s been 4 months since my Discseel® Procedure for 4 herniated discs, and all 5 of my lumbar discs had tears that leaked. Here’s the bottom line. After living with pain for almost 35 years, It’s been an absolute miracle for me. I followed your instructions, well except for one, I walked in a swimming pool a little to longer than I should have after 1 week, and the rest of that day was my most painful experience with muscle spasms during my entire recovery, but I was back to 100% the following day. Although I took the pain pills the first night, I really never needed them, just an occasional Advil. I’m doing everything I want without any pain or discomfort, biking, hiking, swimming, weight training, etc., and I’m letting everyone I know that suffers with back or neck pain about the Discseel® Treatment. I can’t thank Dr. Pauza and his entire staff enough.
David Garber
I was in so much daily pain from a degenerative disc and two others that were herniated that I saw two spine specialists in OH and begged them to operate in order to relieve the pain. They both refused. On a scale of 1-10, I lived with a constant 6. It was affecting me physically and emotionally. Fortunately, I was referred to Dr. Pauza by one of those specialists. I was hesitant at first, but felt relieved after talking to his staff. My wife and I flew to TX for the procedure in June of 2018. It is now December 2018 and I have been pain free for a month and counting! It’s hard to describe this feeling after having lived with daily pain for so long. Thank you Dr. Pauza!
Rob M.
I was so nervous going into the Discseel® Procedure because I came in from out of state and had never met Dr. Pauza and his team. I was thoroughly impressed by their politeness and eagerness to answer any questions. Dr. Pauza took his time making sure I was comfortable during the office appointment before the procedure that afternoon. Everyone has been very encouraging and after the procedure I had more of a pressure feeling than pain. My recovery has been great and I am so happy that I am going to have my life back again! I hope everyone that is a candidate will try the Discseel® Procedure before a spinal fusion. Thanks!
Amy Schmitz
Miracle? Well, 11 years back I started with first back surgery and had 9 of them with fusions. In 2012, I started following Kevin on Sunday morning with Charles Osgood and then my surgeons told me that was all a farse and not proven. I listened rather than going with my gut feeling. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE!!! I was disabled on ice 14 hrs a day for years and then made my way to Dr. Pauza. When I left the hospital I was walking 17,000 steps the next day and average 8-10k since. DO NOT TWIST OR LIFT AND U WILL BE FINE. I am actually looking for surgeons to take fusions out of my body like they did in 2016 from my L4 area. I am on a mission to stop people from getting fusions!! If you want to know the real truth just ask every neuro surgeon or orthopedic and ask them if they have a fusion…! GOOD LUCK! They know the real truth but will sell their soul to the devil before telling you the truth.
M. Laack
I flew over from tropical Queensland, Australia to have the Discseel® Procedure. I’m glad I did. I had sciatica and a little sciatic pain down both legs.  I was using walking poles to get around.  I had chronic pain in my lower back. Five discs were in total degeneration.  The medical profession in Australia did not have any solution for my condition.  I contacted Carrie at Dr. Pauza’s office, and I’m glad I did.  The sciatic pains went away within days of the treatment.  Lower back pain diminished from a 9/10 to a 2/10 within months.  I have osteoarthritis throughout my spine and hips, which causes different pain for me. My family and I are very grateful to Dr. Pauza and his great team. Who would have thought this simple procedure could change the quality of life for people who suffer with high level pain continuously? This Procedure has since become available in Japan. Thanks again Dr. Pauza. I hope the Discseel® Procedure will be available to back pain suffers throughout world.
Patrick Wall
Dr. Pauza and Carrie gave my 18 year old daughter her life back! I can’t say enough good things about them. After a volleyball injury, my daughter had struggled for 4 years with chronic pain that even a spinal cord stimulator and narcotics could not control. Now after having the Disceel® Procedure my daughter is off all meds and is back to enjoying her life. Don’t hesitate to see if the Disceel® Procedure is right for YOU!
Kathy B.
“I suffered with chronic back pain for 4 years. Being the physical person I am I continued with my normal high intensity workouts and pushed through the pain, continued with my martial arts, gymnastics and weight training until the pain was too much to bare. As a film a television actor who is adamant about performing all his own stunts and someone who is expected to because of the world class level of martial arts I bring to the table as an actor, I was in despair and knew I had to find a way to deal with or remedy my back problem before it got any worse. I sought out some top spine surgeons, the first one told me I had no other choice but spinal fusion, I was devastated, the other two surgeons told me I could have an artificial disc or fusion or I could do nothing, and just use pain management procedures. I was seriously considering the artificial disc, but something inside me said DON’T! The next day my chiropractor sent me a video about the Discseel® Procedure. I watched the video, and I was AMAZED, I researched everything I could about the procedure. I then called Dr. Pauza in Texas. From the moment the procedure began I had complete faith and trust. From the beginning to after the procedure, my whole experience was amazing, I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I was walking around immediately after the procedure. By the second week I was back in the gym and my sciatic nerve pain had diminished, I was also able to lie on my stomach without pain, which previous to the procedure I could not do without pain. By week three I was shadow boxing. My progress grew every week. Now I am 3 months(August 13, 2015) out, I am back to running, I have increased flexibility, I am back to kicking and punching, back in the gym and I am beyond grateful that I found the Discseel® Procedure. Sometimes in life you will find those rare individuals that can change your life. I personally feel Dr. Pauza gave me back my health, enabled me to come back pain free, and better than ever, and enabled me not to choose major surgery and for that I am eternally grateful. And by taking care of me they have taken care of my whole family. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!
Bren Foster – Actor – World Class Martial Artist
Thank you for the compassion, medical care and related services you provided me before and after the discseel procedure. I had the Discseel® Procedure on January 29, 2019, and I can tell that I am receiving benefits from it already. I have had lower back pain for over 2 years now after being rear-ended. Before, I did not have back pain. I tried conservative care to deal with it. Unfortunately, the conservative care did not work, and doctors told me that I’ll need surgery. After the Discseel® Procedure, I can already tell that my pain is improving. I know recovery varies but I am very optimistic that the Discseel® Procedure will possibly eliminate the need for back surgery. Thank you!!
Edmond E. Salem
Dr. Pauza gave me my life back. That statement may sound dramatic but it is true. I was being treated by arguably the best physicians at UCSF and Stanford (two top-tier medical hospitals) and my results were abysmal. I was in immense pain every day and the only relief I could find was through narcotics. I had basically given up until somebody saw me limping one day and recommend that I go see Dr. Pauza. Though my back will never return to normal I can now live a relatively comfortable life. The cost of the procedure was the best check I ever wrote. I would be happy to share my experience via phone.
Jeff J.
I had 2 microdiscectomy’s (2010, 2012). I’m my case, they just bought me some time as the pain always comes back. In 2015, I was recommended to get a 4 level X Flex fusion. No way, there are alternatives……This procedure changed my life. It’s changed the lives of many friends and family members as well. I was on pain meds for 10 years and in awful pain. I was off them 2 weeks after the procedure, that was 3.5 years ago.

Yasuyuki Nonaka, M.D. - ILC International Lumbago Clinic

As anesthesiologist constantly dealing with the relief of pain and total care of surgical patients, Dr. Yasuyuki Nonaka has always been aware of the fact that chronic pain can not only seriously affect the patient’s daily activities and quality of life, but often go beyond just the physical and impact patient’s mental health. Treating disc degeneration related diseases for years made him strongly believe that minimal invasive procedures benefit the patient as well as the hospital due to their greater efficiency and potential for optimal outcomes and need to be actively promoted. His passion for learning from the best, refusing to go with the flow and implementing new, less-invasive and progressive procedures naturally led him to the decision to sacrifice his well-established position and open his own clinic where he can truly make a difference by allowing those state-of-art methods become widely available to patients throughout Japan and Asia.
