  • Dallas, TX (1888PressRelease) July 27, 2011 - Good Morning Texas will feature a segment on the revolutionary AccuraScope procedure, North American Spine announced today. The company's chairman, Sam Bailey, Ph.D. will appear on Good Morning Texas at 9 a.m. CST on Wednesday, July 27 on WFAA-TV. "I've met over 20,000 spine pain sufferers," Bailey said. "My own personal experience has been literally life changing."

    The 55-year-old Bailey underwent the AccuraScope procedure to treat a painful bulging disc and scar tissue that were the source of his chronic pain. "I couldn't sleep and my mobility was limited," Bailey said. "Over-the-counter medicines and prescription medication did not touch the pain."

    Unlike other spinal surgery, the groundbreaking AccuraScope Discectomy and Neural Decompression (DND) procedure allows the physician to diagnose and treat painful spine conditions in one 30- to 45-minute outpatient procedure that only requires one three-millimeter incision. And because the AccuraScope procedure is minimally invasive, it doesn't involve the painful or lengthy recovery time associated with conventional spinal surgery. Patients are typically released one hour after the procedure, walk the same day and return to normal activity within one week.

    "North American Spine's ability to visualize the source of pain and treat it simultaneously has eradicated all my pain," he says. "I don't take any medication. I sleep all night and my overall health is improving."

    To date, North American Spine's partner physicians have performed more than 5,000 AccuraScope procedures. Individuals who want to know more about the minimally invasive AccuraScope procedure can tune in to Good Morning Texas at 9 a.m. CST on Wednesday, July 27 or visit www.northamericanspine.com.
