Adena Orthopedic and Spine Institute brings together the area’s largest team of fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons and musculoskeletal experts to provide personalized care and treatment solutions. Using the latest technology, minimally invasive techniques, and both operative and non-operative solutions, our goal is to provide relief for bone, muscle, and joint issues.
With seven convenient facilities located across south central and southern Ohio, we help patients find pain relief and get back to doing what they love.
If a surgical solution is needed, you will be paired with a dedicated nurse navigator, which is a health care professional who serves as your go-to partner, helping you navigate the pre- and post-surgery journey. Your nurse navigator will work closely with your entire health care team, including primary care physicians and specialists, to ensure your treatment has the highest opportunity for success. From managing pre-operative conditions to facilitating communication among providers, our nurse navigator will be there every step of the way.
Some of the ways your nurse navigator may support you include:
Reviewing any preoperative conditions and co-morbidities
Working with and communicating with physicians (primary care and specialty) to ensure the best possible pre- and post-surgical outcome
Ordering labs
Meeting with you the day of and the day after surgery
Joining you for follow-up visits
Calling to check-in as needed
Setting up therapy appointments
When something hurts in your bones, ligaments, muscles or joints, you need more than just a surgeon.
Adena Orthopedic and Spine Institute offers a multidisciplinary team of experts who work together to help you feel better. Here, you’ll have access to sports medicine physicians, orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists, spine specialists and neurologists. The Adena orthopedics team has the experience and technology to help patients of all ages relieve pain, build strength and regain motion and stability.
We follow a conservative approach to care, which means we will work through the least invasive treatments and therapies in the hopes that surgery isn’t necessary. If surgery is the only option, our orthopedic surgeons offer leading-edge care using the latest technology and minimally invasive techniques to help you heal faster and get back to an active life sooner.
Our orthopedic center was built with you in mind. It offers the latest technology and a coordinated care approach to treat your pain. This means that on the day of your appointment, you can be seen by more than one doctor if needed and may be able to have all your tests done that same day (depending on your insurance coverage). When you leave, you will have a diagnosis and treatment plan designed to restore function and comfort.
If you have a more complicated issue, the entire team will determine a treatment plan that will result in the best outcome possible. This may mean that more than one day is needed for testing, consultation and thoughtful consideration of the best options to treat your problem successfully. This may include consultation with a surgeon.
Advanced surgical and nonsurgical orthopedic treatment options, onsite access to diagnostics, and a team of patient navigators to help you find your way, provide you with access to the customized care you need and get you back to whatever it is you love doing the most.

We offer stem cell treatment for arthritis, a procedure in which your body's own stem cells are harvested, processed, and injected into arthritic areas. Once placed, the stem cells divide and multiply, helping to regenerate healthy tissue that aids in healing and can lessen pain and loss of movement.
Found to be highly effective, Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP therapy is an application of orthobiologics that uses healthy cells to treat damaged or diseased cells in the body. For many patients, PRP can be used in the treatment of common tissue injuries, such as rotator cuff tears, Achilles tendon ruptures, tendinitis, muscle injuries, arthritis-related pain, and joint injuries. With PRP, platelets are drawn from the patient and “super charged” through a centrifuge. They are then injected into that patient’s damaged tissue to aid healing and re-growth.
The treatments take place in the exam room, and are applied through an injection. The entire process takes only 30-45 minutes. Some conditions may require several injections to help heal the damaged tissue. Currently, patients with abnormal platelet function or a low platelet count, anemia, cancer or an infection cannot receive PRP therapy.
