Mount Carmel Spine Care: Comprehensive, Compassionate Treatment for Back and Neck Pain

Expert spine care for back, neck, and spine pain — from diagnosis to recovery.

Spine issues can affect people in very different ways, and effective spine care treatment requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach. The spine is an intricate system of vertebrae, discs, nerves, joints, muscles, and connective tissues that work together to support your body’s movement and stability. When something goes wrong in this system, it can produce symptoms that range from mild stiffness to debilitating pain that radiates through your entire body.

That is why specialized spine care matters. Our clinicians focus exclusively on the complexities of the spine. They stay at the forefront of evolving research and clinical advances—including evidence-based diagnostic techniques, modern non-surgical therapies, and innovative surgical options for complex conditions. Whether you are dealing with nerve compression, degenerative changes, spinal instability, or pain that has persisted for years, our specialists take the time to identify the underlying issue rather than relying on quick fixes.

Referrals required. Talk to your primary care physician to obtain a referral. To learn more about working with the Mount Carmel Spine Program to reduce your back pain or to talk to one of our nurse navigators, please call 614-627-1433

Choosing where to receive spine care is an important decision—one that affects not only your recovery but also your confidence, comfort, and overall experience. Our comprehensive spine care program is designed to be different from traditional, fragmented models. Here, you will find a coordinated approach that puts you at the center of every decision.

Your Dedicated Spine Nurse Navigator

One of the most valued aspects of our program is the support of a dedicated spine nurse navigator. From the moment your referral arrives, your nurse navigator becomes your central point of connection—your guide, your advocate, and your partner throughout care. They ensure you are matched with the right specialist at the right time, that appointments are scheduled in the correct order for your diagnosis, that your progress is monitored closely, and that communication flows smoothly between every member of your care team. Patients often share that having one person who knows their story and stays with them throughout the journey brings comfort, clarity, and peace of mind.

A Multidisciplinary Team of Spine Experts

Spine conditions can be complex. They may affect muscles, nerves, joints, discs, mobility, sleep, and daily function. That is why effective spine care requires a team—not just one specialist. Your care at Mount Carmel is supported by a multidisciplinary group that includes neurosurgeons, pain management specialists, rehabilitation experts, and nurse navigators. This collaborative orthopedic and spine care approach ensures your treatment plan is well-rounded, thorough, and aligned with the latest evidence-based practices. Specialists meet regularly to discuss patient needs, review progress, and make coordinated decisions about next steps. 

Personalized, Whole-Person Care

Every patient’s experience with spine pain is different. Some have symptoms that come and go; others have struggled for years. That is why personalization is at the heart of our comprehensive spine program. Your plan is built around your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle and goals, response to early treatment, and your preferences and comfort level. From physical therapy and home exercises to targeted injections, pain management interventions, or minimally invasive surgery, we help you understand your choices and make informed decisions about your spine care.

Coordinated Care Under One Roof

Our spine care program is a true one-stop destination. Instead of moving from one office to another with little communication between providers, we bring everything together under one cohesive program. Whether you need evaluation, pain management, physical therapy, rehabilitation, advanced diagnostic imaging, or surgical expertise, our team ensures all your care happens within a streamlined, supportive system. That means fewer delays, fewer repeated tests, fewer mixed messages, and a more unified path toward relief. For patients searching for a spine care center near me in the Columbus area, Mount Carmel offers the coordinated, accessible experience you deserve.

Spine issues can look and feel different for every patient. Some people experience sudden, sharp pain after an injury, while others notice symptoms gradually building over time. Our specialists are trained to evaluate and treat all of these issues with precision and empathy. We listen carefully, ask the right questions, and work with you to understand exactly what you are experiencing so we can tailor a plan for your spine and back care needs.

Back and Neck Pain

Chronic or acute back and neck pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek spine care. Pain may stem from muscle strain, disc degeneration, arthritis, poor posture, or injury. Our team conducts a thorough evaluation to identify the source of your pain and develops a targeted treatment plan to provide relief and prevent recurrence.

Burning or Shooting Pain

A burning sensation in the neck, mid-back, or lower back can signal nerve irritation, muscle inflammation, or changes within the spine’s supporting structures. Shooting pain that radiates from the back into the arms or legs often indicates involvement of spinal nerves. We use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the origin of your symptoms and determine the most effective spine care treatment—which may include physical therapy, medications, injections, or minimally invasive procedures.

Sciatica and Radiating Leg Pain

Pain that radiates from the lower back down through the leg is commonly associated with sciatica and can make walking, bending, or standing feel nearly impossible. Our spine care team focuses on reducing nerve compression and inflammation through personalized care plans designed to help you regain mobility and resume normal activities.

Muscle Aches and Stabbing Pain

Muscle fatigue, soreness, or tightness can stem from poor posture, repetitive movements, stress, or underlying spine conditions. Sharp, stabbing pain may appear suddenly and is often triggered by certain movements or positions. Our specialists work to identify structural issues—such as disc problems or facet joint irritation—and guide you toward treatments that combine hands-on care, rehabilitative exercises, posture education, and strength training for long-term relief.

Difficulty Bending, Standing, or Walking

Back pain that worsens with movement can be linked to muscle dysfunction, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, or alignment issues. We evaluate your spinal mechanics and partner with you to improve flexibility, strength, and stability so that everyday movements become comfortable again.

Don't wait to get relief.

At the Mount Carmel spine care program, we believe effective treatment starts with understanding the whole picture. Our approach begins with a comprehensive evaluation using advanced diagnostic imaging and clinical assessment to determine the exact source of your pain. From there, we build a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your symptoms, goals, lifestyle, and preferences.

Non-Surgical Spine Care

Many spine conditions respond well to conservative, non-surgical spine care. Our team offers a range of evidence-based therapies including physical therapy and rehabilitative exercises, targeted epidural and joint injections, pain management medications and interventions, posture and ergonomic education, and lifestyle counseling. These approaches are designed to relieve pain, restore function, and strengthen the structures that support your spine. Our pain management specialists work closely with your care team to ensure every option is explored before surgery is considered.

Minimally Invasive and Surgical Options

When surgery is the right path, our neurosurgeons and spine surgeons use the most advanced, minimally invasive spine care techniques available to reduce recovery time and improve outcomes. From disc repairs and decompressions to spinal fusions, every surgical recommendation is made with care, precision, and your long-term well-being in mind.
