What spine conditions does OhioHealth treat?

OhioHealth cares for a wide range of spine-related conditions, including neck and back pain, arthritis, disc problems, nerve compression, spinal stenosis, scoliosis and other complex spine disorders.

Do I need surgery for spine pain?

Most spine conditions improve with conservative treatment. Surgery is considered only when it's clearly the most appropriate option or when symptoms do not improve with other therapies.

What treatments are available?

Treatment may include physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, medications, injections, nerve blocks, ablations, neuromodulation therapies and other nonsurgical approaches.

What can I expect at my first appointment?

Your care team will review your symptoms, medical history, goals and any prior testing to develop a personalized care plan.

Will I need imaging or diagnostic testing?

Some patients may need imaging studies or other diagnostic tests to better understand the source of symptoms. Recommendations are based on your specific condition and needs.

Can spine care help nerve-related symptoms?

Yes. Spine conditions often affect nerves and may cause numbness, tingling, weakness or pain that travels into the arms or legs. Treatment is designed to address both the underlying condition and related symptoms.

Will my spine care be coordinated?

Yes. OhioHealth serves as your home base for spine care, coordinating treatment and collaborating with specialists throughout your care journey.

Can OhioHealth help with non-sports-related concussion symptoms?

Yes. Concussions can result from falls, motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries and other incidents. If you're experiencing persistent symptoms following a head injury, OhioHealth can help connect you with the appropriate neuroscience specialists for evaluation and treatment.

How do I get started with spine care at OhioHealth?

You can speak with your primary care specialist or schedule an appointment with an OhioHealth spine specialist to discuss symptoms and treatment options.

Our approach to spine care

Comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis
We begin by understanding your symptoms, health history and goals. When needed, your care team may recommend diagnostic testing, including imaging or nerve studies, to help identify the source of pain and guide treatment.
Conservative care comes first
Whenever possible, treatment starts with education, lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, non-opioid pain management and other nonsurgical options designed to improve comfort, function and quality of life.
Advanced treatment when needed
If symptoms persist, we offer advanced interventional procedures, including injections, nerve blocks, ablations and neuromodulation therapies. When surgery may be the best option, we coordinate care closely with OhioHealth spine surgeons to ensure a seamless experience.
