New Jersey Neurosurgical Practice Offers Next-Generation Treatments and Community Awareness
Morristown,NJ (PRWEB) July 18, 2013 -- With the recent rising popularity of “boutique surgeries” being offered by less qualified specialists, yielding temporary results at best, Atlantic NeuroSurgical Specialists (ANS) has launched an awareness campaign to educate the community on the importance of choosing a neurosurgeon for an accurate diagnosis. Neurosurgeons are highly qualified specialists to diagnose and treat your back pain as well as other ailments associated with your delicate nervous system. “We hope this campaign will make people think twice before allowing surgery to be performed by someone other than a surgeon,” says Tom Wood of ANS.
ANS performs the most minimally invasive spine surgeries in New Jersey. These minimally invasive procedures are performed through an incision the size of a dime. Benefits include faster recovery time and less pain. ANS’s Dr. David Wells-Roth explains why a neurosurgeon is the best fit to treat your spine. “Your spinal cord is the link between your brain and the rest of the body and must be handled with care. A neurosurgeon is specifically trained to treat the intricacies of the spine and nerves involved. I have seen many failed back surgeries from patients who have had quick-fix surgeries such as laser surgery.” ANS’s Dr. Kyle Chapple further explains the dangers. “When patients choose these attractive procedures, they can risk doing more harm than good. We urge a patient considering surgery to make sure their doctor is a trained surgeon.”
ANS is also the region’s largest practice treating stroke, the leading cause of disability in the United States. ANS was the group who launched the first comprehensive stroke center in New Jersey. Since then, ANS has expanded to 3 additional comprehensive centers and holds a success rate that far surpasses the national average. The endovascular team continues to engage in clinical trials for new stroke technologies and therapies, giving patients access to the next generation of stroke management.
In accordance with ANS’s constant effort to better educate the community, ANS has recently launched “ANSwers LIVE,” a radio show airing Sunday mornings from 9:30-10:00 AM on WMTR (1250 AM). You can tune in to hear Tom Wood of ANS speak with medical experts from various specialties. Important topics are varied each week and cover a broad range of health information. Listeners are encouraged to call in to get ANSwers regarding weekly subject matter.
