Has anyone been treated by the add in this forum: North American Spine?
I had an mri 2 years ago and was diagnosed with 3 herniated discs, arthiritis in the lower back, and degenerative back disease. I've had cortisone shots in my spine twice and I really don't want to do that again. My back is getting so much worse! I bent over the other day and I felt that sickening feeling and that little snap and had a hard time standing up again. Now when I go from a sitting to standing postition, I can hardly stand up. I'm using muscle relaxers and aleve almost every day right now. I don't want to go back to my same doctor, he's just not real personable and he'll just want to give me another shot in the spine. For insurance purposes, I've met my stop loss because of a heart procedure a month ago, so I'm really looking at the North American Spine but would really like to hear from someone who know something about it.

Thank you for your reply. It seems too good to be true! My back has never been as bad as yours but it is still so hard to do the things I want to and need to. I haven't been able to pick up my sweet little grandkids for 2 years now. I stay away from the garden more than I should because I end up hurting myself. I'm always tiptoeing around this back of mine to make sure I don't do something that takes me to my knees.
I'm afraid my insurance won't cover this but I'm going to call and get some info from my ins. co. My husband has had a bad back for 30 years, all kinds of problems. This just really seems to good to be true.

I am a 48 year old male who recently underwent the Accurascope procedure at Forest Park Medical Center in Dallas Tx. for lumbar spine issues. I had a horrible case of Sciatica that I had been dealing with for many years and recently had a severe flare up resulting in being out of work on disability and unable to do practically anything other than lie flat on my back. At times, it was so bad that I had to crawl to the restroom because I could not bear the pain of standing and I was desperate to find a solution that worked. At times I even had suicidal thoughts because I could not bear the pain. Pain pills and muscle relaxers would not touch the pain, even with taking double doses. I've had steroid injections, been to chiropractors, and therapist over the years and nothing had helped until I underwent the Accurascope procedure. I am living proof that this procedure really works! I was back to work in less than a week with the energy of a 19 year old. The pain relief was immediate. As soon as I was allowed to stand from the recovery room bed, the pain was gone. For a little while I was very emotional and speechless. 30+ years of pain was gone in just a very short time. I am very happy to say that ~45 days after the procedure, I am still pain free. I'm back to carrying my granddaughters around, plowing the fields on the farm, and bouncing off the walls at work full of energy. I feel like a new person. Even when I overwork myself on the farm in the hot South Carolina summer, I may get muscle aches all over but my back does not hurt at all. I even cut a large load of hickory for the family bar-b-que for the past holiday weekend with no issues whatsoever. I owe my life to the wonderful folks at North American Spine. I am pleased enough with the results to say that even if my insurance had not picked up most of the tab for the procedure, I would pay for it out of my own pocket. It was a life changing moment for myself and my family. My coworkers call it a miracle, as do I. I recommend this to anyone who suffers from lower back pain and I have referred many people of all ages to North American Spine since I had my procedure.
