Division of Spinal Cord
About the Division
At the Division of Spinal Cord, we’re 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.
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 of whom specialize in spine disorders and injuries – to provide the most comprehensive care for patients.
Physicians, fellow, residents and students have the opportunity to participate in groundbreaking research and clinical trials through our associations with national and international spine organizations.
Goals and highlights
The goal of the Division is to provide spinal cord disorder patients a chance at a better life with reduced pain and more mobility.

Fellowship Opportunity
In the Department of Neurology and the Health Services Research Division, advancement, opportunity, and collaboration are central to our research and scholarship efforts. Our faculty members are engaged in a broad range of multidisciplinary research and scholarly efforts to advance the practice, education, and delivery of neurologic care. Our successes are demonstrated by professional presentations, publications, and grant support. Investigator-initiated research and collaborative scholarship drive the department toward its goal of being a nationally and internationally recognized leader in research and scholarship.
Educational initiatives and research also contribute to state-of-the-art curricula, teaching strategies, and learning techniques that advance medical education at many levels, including medical student education, residency training, and continuing medical education. The Ohio State University College of Medicine is committed to expanding research in health equity, social determinants of health, population health, and health services and implementation science, as well as reducing health inequities among our patients and communities through care delivery and education.
