A pain in the neck: Not merely an inconvenience

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.
