With many Americans suffering from back pains, there are a whole slew of procedures to relieve the ailment. With the advancement of medical technology, more and more people are now opting for minimally invasive procedures over traditional methods.

At North American Spine, medical professionals take pride in the clinic’s ability to treat patients with minimally invasive spine surgery. In fact, the clinic assures the term “minimally invasive” in its truest sense through AccuraScope.

AccuraScope is an advanced back pain procedure that enables North American Spine surgeons to not only get a diagnosis of the problem in real time, but to also treat the causes of chronic back pain.

Through a small incision on the skin, a surgeon inserts an endoscopic fiber-optic scope through to the natural opening at the base of the spine. Upon accurately assessing the problem area, a laser is then used to perform the necessary procedure. The entire procedure normally takes 30 to 40 minutes.

“The difference in the AccuraScope procedure as compared to other minimally invasive spine surgery techniques is that the AccuraScope approaches the spine horizontally rather than vertically,” said Sam Bailey, Ph.D., chairman of North American Spine. This makes it possible for surgeons to engage the problem areas on the different levels of the spine.

With such precision and real-time diagnosis, patients can undergo treatments for more than one level at a single time; thus eliminating the need for multiple sessions. The AccuraScope procedure is only available at North American Spine.

Neck pain is a very common problem among many Americans. It is estimated that more than a quarter of the American population is suffering from this ailment. Not surprisingly, neck pain is number three on the list of causes of chronic pain.

Neck pain is described as any discomfort in the bones, muscles, nerves, spinal vertebrae or surrounding tissues found in the area. In most cases, it is caused by poor posture when sleeping, standing and/or sitting. However, there are also instances where the pain is only a symptom of an underlying serious medical problem. Careful diagnostics and immediate attention are needed to alleviate such causes.

North American Spine provides a free assessment of MRI reports for potential clients. The practice offers a multi-disciplinary review of a patient’s case – through interviews that uncover the patient’s medical history and other related symptoms – to ensure that the best solutions are recommended.

After meticulous review, a North American Spine clinician may suggest further tests or determine if a person is a good candidate for a minimally invasive surgery known as AccuraScope Cervical Procedure. This is an outpatient procedure that is targeted to provide the patient the needed neck pain relief. In the event that a patient is found requiring a more invasive procedure, North American Spine collaborates with orthopedic surgeons and other specialty doctors to decide on the least invasive treatment. This ensures that patients are treated based on their needs.
