Sports Medicine

At Ohio Sports & Spine Institute, every patient is treated like an athlete.

Our goal is for you to successfully and safely “return to play” or activity as soon as possible.

Whether you’re a high school, collegiate or professional athlete; runner, golfer, weekend warrior, just starting a work-out routine, or a kid-chasing parent or grandparent, we have the knowledge, expertise, and experience to get you back to your active lifestyle.

Our team will address your injury, educate you on how to prevent re-injury, and guide you to return to play or activity.
