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.
