Adena Orthopedic and Spine Institute

Our new 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 work with you on a treatment plan that will result in the best possible results. 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.

Services and Treatments

Adena’s sports medicine team performs a wide range of procedures to relieve pain, including:

Computer Based Concussion Testing

For athletes, a baseline test is valuable information that can be used in the event of a concussion. Baseline testing measures your brain in a healthy state, so doctors know the normal functions of your brain to help you recover from a concussion.  

Adena uses a series of tests called Sway to baseline test our athletes. To learn more call 740-779-8943.

Concussion Treatment

If you or your student athlete receive a concussion, immediate testing and treatment is important. Most concussion issues last around 7-10 days, and treatment includes mental and physical rest. That includes no running, jumping, weight lifting, drills, gym class, video games, television, texting or other tasks that require a lot of focus and concentration.  In some cases, athletes are even held from school to allow the brain to rest. 

Fracture Treatment

Accidents happen, and so do fractured bones. No matter your age, Adena Sports Medicine can provide the best fracture treatment in south central Ohio. 

A fracture can often be diagnosed with a physical exam. In some cases, an X-ray, MRI or CT scan may be used. Once a fracture is diagnosed, treatment may include:

• A cast or brace
• Surgery to align the fractured bone (which can include pins, screws, or plates to stabilize it)
• Traction therapy, which uses weights, pulleys, or ropes to apply gentle force to the fractured bone
• Physical therapy after the fracture has healed
