"I presented left sciatic pain 6 years from then. One day, I lifted an important weight and since then pain grew progressively more intense, to the point it prevented me to carry out my job as a surgeon.

I consulted with neurosurgeons and carried out physiatry, not obtaining the expected improves.

I talked to Dr. Salim Daher and went through a Lumbar Percutaneous Disectomy in L4-L5, L5-S1. Tewnty days later I began working and I feel very good so far.

I'm very happy with the results of this operation, because this minimally invasive spinal surgery method helped me with that huge problem I had."

"I'm a professional soccer player. When I was 27 I begun feeling left lumbo-sciatica 6 months after beeing strongly hit during a training. This nuisance irradiated to my left leg, inhabilitating me to carry out any kind of excercise. I couldn't train anymore.

I consulted a neurosurgeon that indicated me a CAT, which showed the existence of a L4-L5 discal hernia. I travelled to Valencia, consulted with Dr. Salim Daher and he practiced me a DPL.

I went out very well; 15 days after that I begun with a soft training, and one month from then I was training completely. So far I feel very well, and I haven't felt any nuisance, even when I'm playing actively."

This week I turn one year of having been operated by you and of having recovered in a very short time my normal conditions of life, getting rid of the inability and the pain that produced me the discal hernias.

Although I don't believe to have paid the rest that was prescribed, I refer that I was operated a Friday p.m., I left the clinic the following Saturday and we came to Caracas. I was of rest until the day Wednesday when for work reasons I spent the whole morning in my office, I could drive and spend the day without problems. On following Friday, 7 days ago from the operation I traveled to the United States, where 15 days I spent, I had serious nuisances caused by a 3 hour airplane trip, followed by 5 hours in an automobile, the truth was that I felt pretty struck. It was that 30 days ago of having been operated I could conclude an important project of life, that was participating in the world record of parachuting, taking place in the city of Anapa, Russia, to where I arrived after three days of trip.

I could make 24 jumps in parachute between the September 14 and September 28. I admit you that I was full with uncertainties on the operation and the resistance of my spine to the stress caused by the jumps. I don't know how much risk I took when jumping (I've been practicing this sport for the last 24 years), but with the desire of participating in the record (which we make by making a free fall formation of 297 people) and some small doses of Ibuprofen, we leave airy of the test.

So far I take a normal life, I don't take any type of sedatives, there am practiced my sport without any restriction and I have not felt the pain again.

I write this testimony to express my gratefulness to your person and the people with which you work.
