Delivering long-term solutions to spine problems

Ohio State Spine Care has multiple specialists, diagnostic tools and treatment options housed in one center to care for your spine. The goal of our multidisciplinary team is to help patients return to normal function by providing both non-surgical and surgical solutions to simple and complex spine problems. As part of the Ohio State Neurological Institute, our team is constantly exploring novel approaches for some of the most difficult spine-related medical challenges. Advanced care is offered for congenital, deformity, degenerative, and traumatic spinal disorders.

Expertise

Our team includes board certified, fellowship-trained pain management experts, physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons and neurologists. Our surgeons perform more complex spine surgeries than any other medical center in central Ohio. We collaborate with our physical therapists, radiologists, rheumatologists, endocrinologists, psychologists and nurse practitioners—each who specialize in spine disorders and injuries—to restore you to maximum function.

Patients benefit from the insights and expertise of an entire clinical team that will diagnose the source of pain and help achieve the highest level of function possible with the least-invasive treatment. Patients also have the opportunity to participate in groundbreaking research and clinical trials through our associations with national and international spine organizations.
