DALLAS, July 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- North American Spine™, the exclusive provider of the AccuraScope® procedure, was featured on WFAA's Good Morning Texas. The AccuraScope procedure offers hope to those who suffer from neck and back pain with its treatment that does not involve a major surgery. The segment featured Dr. Basem Abdelfattah, fellowship-trained Pain Specialist with North American Spine in Dallas, Texas. His goal is to help patients alleviate their chronic back or neck pain, allowing them to live life more fully.

Dr. Basem explained North American Spine's unique techniques to segment host Carrie McClure of WFAA.

"We are pleased with the success we've seen from the AccuraScope procedure," Dr. Basem of North American Spine explained. "North American Spine's treatments are an innovative step that will, for many people, provide lasting relief."

Just as every patient's pain is different, the causes of pain vary. After thoroughly evaluating a patient's symptoms leading to a diagnosis, Dr. Basem recommends the most effective options for treatment, including minimally invasive surgical procedures. He is committed to patient satisfaction, and patients and families have recognized Dr. Basem for his compassionate bedside manner and professionalism.

The AccuraScope procedure is performed in Dallas by North American Spine doctors. This procedure is a minimally invasive spine surgery and takes less than an hour to complete. Doctors from North American Spine use a tiny laser, smaller than the tip of a mechanical pencil that only works on the tissue it touches. Doctors recommend that the AccuraScope treatment is best for those with tissue related issues, not with bone problems.

Most patients who receive the AccuraScope procedure feel pain-free immediately and are able to leave the clinic the day of the procedure and return to work within a week.

"We see a lot of patients come from out-of-state to Dallas for the AccuraScope procedure," Jon Sasser of North American Spine said. "It is a great minimally invasive alternative that could have you pain-free and back to work in a short amount of time."

To date, more than 8,000 AccuraScope procedures have been performed by board-certified physicians with specialty training. Medical research has shown that the AccuraScope procedure has an 82% success rate and saves patients an average of $23,190 in out-of-pocket costs over 5 years by reducing expenses including medical visits and medications.
