Background
North American Spine is a privately held surgical practice that specializes in the treatment of symptoms and conditions associated with back pain. Formerly known as the Dayton Laser Spine Institute in Dayton, Ohio, the company operated as a single-doctor practice by Dr. Lawrence B. Rothstein until January 2009 when it opened corporate and clinical offices in Dallas, Texas.

Treatment
North American Spine practices the proprietary AccuraScope procedure, a minimally-invasive laparoscopic surgery, to treat conditions associated with pain in the thoracic and lumbar spine regions. The technology behind AccuraScope enables it to treat ruptured or herniated discs at multiple levels within the spine.

How It Works
The physician makes a small incision and inserts a fiber-optic scope into a natural opening at the base of the spine. The fiber optic endoscope allows the physician to inspect both sides of the spinal canal and identify and diagnose any inter-vertebral disc abnormalities.
