DALLAS, Oct. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- North American Spine™, the exclusive provider of the AccuraScope® procedure, was featured on KSTP-TV Ch. 5 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 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 Amy Pigeon who experienced chronic neck pain after a car accident. The pain made it difficult for Pigeon to work a full-time job or even conduct physical tasks around the house. The doctors diagnosed her with bulging discs in her spine.

That's when she learned about the AccuraScope procedure. North American Spine partner physician Dr. Louis Saeger is the first in Minnesota to offer the treatment method. Pigeon had the procedure and has shown significant improvement, even returning to work.

"The company boasts an 82% success rate, and that includes patients like Pigeon who is back at work, back on her feet and back to not worrying about her back," said Eyewitness News reporter Katherine Johnson.

Most patients who receive the AccuraScope procedure say they experience at least a 50% reduction in pain following the surgery.

"Our mission is to help as many people as possible," Adam Arnette, Chief Marketing Officer at North American Spine said. "It is a great minimally invasive alternative that has helped thousands of people find relief from pain and get 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 rate¹ and saves patients an average of $23,190 in out-of-pocket costs over 5 years by reducing expenses including medical visits and medications².
