As Erica began developing spinal pain, she was no longer able to run and felt like the things she loved were taken away from her. She found out about Dr. Kevin Pauza’s procedure through her spine surgeon. She decided this was the best option and it gave her hope to return to her active lifestyle. Erica Knudsen was able to return to running after undergoing the DISCSEEL Procedure. Erica says that this procedure has “100 percent turned her life around.”
Sean Gilbert shares his life-changing experience with the DISCSEEL Procedure, and how he has been able to return to the activities he loves. Sean wanted to find a solution to his back pain that did not involve having hardware put in his spine. He chose the DISCSEEL Procedure. “Dr. Pauza’s disc treatment has given me back my life. It’s given me the lifestyle that I moved to Hawaii for thirty-five years ago. I’m able to swim in the ocean, hike in the mountains, and be a happy person again.” – Sean Gilbert
Jim Murphy is now one and a half years post-op after living with pain for over 10 years. He is an active guy who loves yoga, pilates, skiing, hunting, fishing, boating, and more adventures, but for years he couldn’t pursue any of them because of back pain. Then he discovered Dr. Kevin Pauza’s website and that changed his WHOLE life. Watch and be amazed!
When Hector fell off a ladder at work, his life changed forever. Constant back pain altered his life, and his family life began to suffer. The DISCSEEL Procedure had him back to work within 7 days and he can enjoy his favorite hobbies again! Watch how the DISCSEEL Procedure gave Hector his life back. “The DISCSEEL Procedure has given me back something that my back and physical activities took away from me. It gave me back my life. It gave me back my family.” – Hector Rivera
Before DISCSEEL, walking was difficult. Last November I rode 60 miles of Missouri’s Katy Trail. I am 3 years from my procedure and doing great.

30 years ago I injured my back with two herniated discs pressing on my spinal cord that turned into degenerative discs in all my lumbar disks. I even had two vertebrae that naturally fused together because one disc was totally degenerated and I wouldn’t give into the surgery. Doctors told me surgery was my only option. I spent 20 years looking for an alternative without surgery. I was in a lot of pain and at the point where I couldn’t work anymore. Found you on the internet 10 years ago and you had been offering disk seal for 2 years prior. I went against what everybody was saying and went for it because it made sense. I am now 10 years pain-free and continued my career as a successful chef thanks to your vision and efforts to heal people with the disc seal procedure. I’ll send you some picks of where I live and the area when I get a chance. Thanks Kevin.

We made it for 7 nights on the Harmony of the seas, Royal Caribbean ship. We had a blast and I could not make this trip previously. Thanks to DISCSEEL I could do it! Happy Holidays!!

I had the lumbar DISCSEEL Procedure on August 25th, each disc L1 down to S1. My pain level had dropped from around a 9 on the day of the procedure to ZERO! After all these years of nerve ablations, injections, and spine stimulators, the doctors were just treating the symptoms and NOT the cause of the issues. It will be three weeks this Friday since the procedure and I’m doing great, being careful. My wife and I are both having trouble making me not over do things and take it slow and steady! Even people at church have noticed that I have a spring back in my step and a relief of pain in my face! I can not say thank you to Dr. Pauza enough! I just wish we had met about ten years earlier.

“A Life-Changing Experience with Dr. Kevin Pauza and the DISCSEEL Procedure” About 45 days ago, I was in such severe pain that I couldn’t even get out of bed, let alone walk. After a hospital visit and numerous tests, it was confirmed that I had a herniated disc. With my responsibilities and obligations, I knew I couldn’t afford to live with this pain for years like some people I know, who have been suffering for 3 to 10 years. This condition impacts every aspect of life, making it impossible to function normally. During my research to find an immediate solution, I came across Dr. Kevin Pauza and his DISCSEEL® Procedure. Learning how he addresses this biological issue with a biological solution convinced me right away. I quickly sent all the required documents for him to evaluate my case, and within three weeks, I had my procedure on October 2, 2024. The entire experience, from my first contact with his office to the procedure itself, was outstanding. His staff was professional and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. Now, just 12 days later, my pain has improved daily. While the first few days post-procedure can be uncomfortable, I highly recommend staying active and taking brisk walks to aid recovery. For anyone considering the DISCSEEL Procedure, I also recommend getting exosomes as part of the treatment for enhanced results.

Dr. Pauza is the best, he is 100% professional. He knows what he is doing and gives you the best results. I am so happy that I get to know him as well as get the DISCSEEL Procedure.

Kevin’s Team runs flawlessly. Dr. Pauza has helped 5 of my friends who now are living their best life. I had a lot of cervical issues that made my life difficult for about 15 years. To be honest I was nervous as I had never had a procedure or an operation and I’m 51. Dr. Pauza explained what his plan was to repair my neck to new-like condition. Everything was on time and exactly as promised. It is the most amazing thing to wake up with no pain and able to go recover for a night locally in Dallas. The next day we walked 1.5 miles to dinner and back. It’s been 7 days and I am following his instructions to a T. If anyone is thinking of this procedure quit thinking and get it done. My only regret is not doing it sooner. Thank you to the Staff for making this easy coming from out of town. Thank you Doctor Pauza for giving me my life back to enjoy it pain-free.
Christopher R
I have high hopes for relief of pain I have lived with for approximately 8 years. Dr Pauza could not have been more knowledgeable, friendly and down to earth. The procedure was performed very professionally. I had a lot of pain the first day, then no pain the second day. Here I am on the 5th day and am still in pain as before but I have been told that is to be expected. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Dr. Kevin Pauza is the most dedicated, caring professional that I have met. He took his time to explain the DISCSEEL Procedure to me, was honest and concerned about the cost, and let it be my decision as to how I wanted to proceed. On the day of the procedure, he came to me in the prep room and explained what he was going to do and also came to me in recovery to let me know that everything went well and what was accomplished. I was under general anesthesia so felt nothing. Although I had some post-surgical pain in the recovery room, by the time I got back to my hotel, I was pain-free. I have some pain now on and off but nothing that wasn’t bearable. I never even had to take any of the pain meds that were prescribed. I would recommend Dr. Pauza to anyone with disc problems because I feel he is the most experienced in the field. He invented this procedure 15 years ago and has given a great gift to humanity by his inventive genius.
Marie P
Dr. Pauza performed my DISCSEEL Procedure 2 weeks ago on 4 discs. At my consult, He explained what was causing my pain and how the procedure works. After my procedure, he wrote me a note explaining what he found during the Annulargram pre-procedure and what he treated. On the note, he also included his personal cell phone if I needed anything after my procedure. In recovery, I had severe spasms and he came to my bedside to help. After a few days at home, I was still having pain. I reached out to Dr. Pauza and he quickly responded and helped me to manage my pain. Dr. Pauza truly cares about his patients and wants them to be able to return to a quality of life without surgery.

Another pain free day today every day is more amazing than the next. I’m still in shock over my shoulder. Years I couldn’t sleep or put pressure on it. Amazing those nano guts you put in there.?

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
You did my DISCSEEL Procedure 2 weeks ago today. I am doing so good that words cannot begin to express the gratitude I have. When taking meloxicam I have absolutely zero pain. It is absolutely incredible. I have been this good since day 2 post procedure. The hardest part for me is behaving myself since I feel so dam good!
Mike H.
I have zero nerve pain in my leg, my lower back feels pretty good and I’m able to sleep through the night. I can tell this procedure was my ticket back to life. Thank you so much for thinking outside of the box and making this procedure available to people. Words cannot express!
Christine M.
From the Doctor to the staff they are very professional and thorough. Dr. Pauza explains the procedure and what to expect. He answers any questions you might have and puts you at ease. I personally have had the procedure twice and it has changed my life for the better. I use to wear a back brace due to ruptured lower discs. After the DISCSEEL Procedure, within three months I was no longer wearing a back brace. I also had ruptured discs in my neck making sleeping difficult. Again after the procedure I have less neck pain and am sleeping better. If you want your life back I highly recommend Dr. Pauza for his professionalism and skill and the DISCSEEL Procedure.

I had been in incapacitating pain and suffering from lumbar back pain for over a year due to herniated discs, Dr. Wiederholz recommended the DISCSEEL Procedure and I can’t be happier with the results. 5 months after the procedure l’m feeling amazing and being able to return to my normal self and activities. Thank you Dr. Wiederholz!

From the initial inquiry to walking out of the clinic after the DISCSEEL Procedure, I was treated very professionally… Best experience I’ve had. I feel like a million bucks! Best decision.

DISCSEEL 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.

This procedure was the best choice I ever made. The DISCSEEL procedure has cured any back issues I had and saved me from having major surgery.

Dr. Pauza sits with his patients and discusses the procedure and why the DISCSEEL Procedure works as opposed to the traditional surgical method of cages and screws. He put both my husband and I at ease and patiently answered all our questions plus gave us the background on how he came to discover the DISCSEEL Procedure.
The DISCSEEL Procedure to me is the only procedure anyone should have done if possible. It only makes sense while the alternative of screws and rods in your back seems so barbaric and doesn’t even compare. I sit for my job and hourly I walk for at least 500 steps. I have all cheers and gratitude for the DISCSEEL Procedure. 5 stars are not enough!
M. Rule
I had a level fused in my neck years ago. Since then I’ve been looking for alternative treatments as the levels below the fusion went bad and the doctors wanted to go in and fuse the whole mess! I really thought that it was over for me. After the DISCSEEL Procedure I was so impressed, that six weeks after my procedure I took my wife down and had her back and neck taken care of. The results are the same. She’s eight days out and already seeing improvements. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is a candidate and looking for an alternative to a fusion!

Everything went as smoothly as possible. I had the DISCSEEL procedure, and it is now 3 weeks later, and yesterday was the first day that I didn’t need any pain pills in over 3 months. The fact is, I was hurting so bad before that I was doubling up on every pain pill they gave me and still couldn’t get any relief. I know I still have some healing to do, but the night before last was the first time Ive gotten a full night’s sleep in over 3 months and already, if nothing else, it was well worth the money. I’m usually not a wimp when it comes to pain, but I honestly could not do that for the rest of life. I feel like my life for all intents and purposes was saved through the DISCSEEL Procedure. Highly recommend.
B. Smith
The DISCSEEL staff get a 10 ++ from me and I will recommend this to anyone who will listen and who potentially can be helped by the DISCSEEL procedure.

DISCSEEL gave me my life back.

I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is a candidate and looking for an alternative to a fusion! While I’m still healing, I’m so thankful that I found the DISCSEEL staff. They gave me my sanity back! I can’t thank them enough!

After almost 20 years of back pain I am living a normal life again and able to enjoy going out with friends and family. I can play with my grandchildren and enjoy teaching water aerobics. Last year my back took another turn for the worst and I had to stop teaching and could barely get through the day even with medication. I could no longer play with my grandchildren or even pick them up. I did not know what to do and went to two different doctors who both stated surgery was not an option for me. They both suggested pain management. I had done this in the past with no relief and it only masked the pain for a short period of time. I did not know where to turn. Thanks to my daughter in law and some research we found DISCSEEL. The DISCSEEL Procedure has been a God send. I am just over 60 days post procedure and getting better daily. No back pain and my body is adjusting. I am back to teaching water aerobics. The DISCSEEL staff were great. I was able to return to work the Monday following my procedure. I have taken a slow return to teaching water aerobics but have been able to do my job as the aquatics director and managing the facility.

The DISCSEEL staff are the most friendly, compassionate group. I’m so thankful I found out about his DISCSEEL, my saving grace to not end up having a lumbar spinal fusion. Highly recommend for anyone with disc issues!!

The DISCSEEL 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.

My DISCSEEL Procedure went off without a hitch. Super staff of nurses and care team. I’m feeling stronger already only 3 weeks post procedure!! 100% recommend!
Joanne W.
I had 4 of my vertebral discs treated with the DISCSEEL Procedure. My expectation was to relieve my serious sciatica and upper leg pain and my sciatica and upper leg pain is almost completely gone. After 18 months of no relief I am finally able to start enjoying the things that I like to do. The surgeons that hurt me in the first place wanted me to have another surgery with rods placed in my back. DISCSEEL was the wise alternative.
Dean H.
The DISCSEEL staff provided wonderful care, communicated very effectively, and had incredible attention to detail. I felt very at-ease throughout and had no discomfort at all after the procedure. At five weeks past the procedure, my neck feels and sounds significanly better. I am encouraged and glad I made the choice to have the DISCSEEL Procedure.
Mark T.
After ample research and 10 years of agonizing and immobilizing pain, my mom and I discovered this procedure. I am 2 weeks post-procedure and already can say this changed my life completely. I am a nursing student with high aspirations for my career and I now can say with full confidence, this procedure has enabled me to pursue my wildest dreams. I am SO grateful for DISCSEEL and their team and cannot recommend this procedure enough. I am so incredibly grateful and hopeful for a bright future ahead all thanks to DISCSEEL!
Serena P.
My procedure was smooth sailing! Everyone was so nice and took a lot of time talking and explaining the process and after care. I love having an alternative to surgery. Thanks, DISCSEEL!!!

I highly recommend the DISCSEEL procedure to anyone wanting to end years of misery. It is truly worth it. I can now look forward to living a full and abundant life without crippling pain!

You performed my DISCSEEL® Procedure on October, 2022.
Rather than write a lengthy text, (which I could easily do!) let me just say that I’m enjoying life in a way I didn’t think was possible over the last 5 years. I’m now able to walk long distances, garden, do woodwork, and continue my design profession – all thanks to you! The process did take several months, as you told me the time frame might be. As many others have noted, it’s been a life-changing experience. Thank you so very much for all of your research and courage that is providing so many people a solution to what can otherwise literally destroy the joy of life.

I just had 3 Discs (L3/L4 L4/L5 L5/S1) repaired with the DISCSEEL Procedure last Wed. 5/18/22 in the Naples, FL office. OMG, I’m an inch taller (back to my original height). The lumbar pain and nerve pain I’ve been suffering with for the last 9 years was gone as soon as I awoke from the sedation…5 days Post-Op, no pain and I feel like I have a renewed energy… Britany, Carrie, Amy, and Dr. Pauza are 1000% the real Deal! If you find from the team that you are a candidate, beg, borrow, or steal to get the procedure done! You wont regret it! If you need a real world non-affiliated testimonial, please feel free to shoot a DM on fb…
Dr. Pauza…I can’t thank you enough for giving me my life back! I am forever grateful!

I am so impressed with Dr. Pauza, and his whole team!!! I had my cervical and lower back areas treated with DISCSEEL about 10 days ago, and I have experienced incredible improvement so far–while the results are not even expected yet!!! Dr. Pauza has done a lot of the important research on what he stands behind. And he is a totally committed doctor to me having a life with reduced pain or no pain. He will tell you he is with you for life in whatever he can do for you. I was looking at laminectomy or fusion, told to me by other doctors recently (post disc replacement already). And I can’t believe I have already improved so much. I look forward to continuing the healing process, and Dr. Pauza is critical to my process. Thanks Dr. Pauza! I suggest you meet with him face-to-face even though it may be inconvenient to see what you think!

After dealing with 24/7 back, neck and sciatic pain for four years, researching all possible options for relief and resolution of this life-altering problem, I decided on Dr. Pauza’s DISCSEEL procedure. After thoroughly reviewing his website, protocol, reviews and testimonials and the YouTube interview with other doctors, my apprehension disappeared, and I moved forward. From the beginning, Brittany, his liaison assistant was a gem! She explained everything concisely, edified Dr. Pauza and his staff and made me feel very comfortable about the process. On February 17, 2022, my daughter Lauren and I met Dr. Pauza for a pre-op consultation. He was very personable, thorough, and reassuring about his breakthrough procedure and what to expect. I no longer had any anxiety. As I was set up for the procedure, his staff was professional, relaxed, and made me feel the same. Although I took only half of a pain med after the procedure, I initially had no pain anymore. I was ecstatic! It is now February 26th, I have skipped days taking any pain meds, and I only have a residual hip pain. After mentioning this to Nurse Rhonda, she said it is normal and should eventually go away. I am VERY PLEASED with the initial results! I have already told five friends about Dr. Pauza and the DISCSEEL Procedure, three of whom are making plans to have it done soon. For anyone suffering with herniated or bulging discs, or degenerative disc issues, or previous spinal fusions, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Pauza and his DISCSEEL solution!!

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.

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 M
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.

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!

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.

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 DISCSEEL® Procedure my daughter is off all meds and is back to enjoying her life. Don’t hesitate to see if the DISCSEEL® Procedure is right for YOU!
Kathy B.
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!!

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!!
