Spine Surgery in Wooster, OH

If you need surgery to correct a problem with your spine or to resolve chronic neck or back pain – make sure you’re seeing the right kind of medical specialist.

At the Orthopaedic Center at Wooster Community Hospital (WCH), we have not one but three board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons who are committed to improving your quality of life and are ready to serve you. Now you can get the expert surgical care you need right here in Wooster; there’s no need to travel to Cleveland or Columbus.

  • Dr. Marcus Newton of WCH-affiliate Bloomington Orthopedic Specialists is an experienced surgeon that specializes in spinal reconstructive surgery of the neck and low back.  Dr. Newton completed a competitive orthopedic surgery
    internship at Doctors Hospital in Columbus, Ohio and completed several residencies in Texas, including the Texas Back Institute in Dallas where he focused on spinal procedures. He advanced his spinal expertise further at the University of Iowa, where he completed a fellowship in spinal reconstruction.
  • Dr. Jeffrey Watts has recently joined the  Wooster Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Center orthopedic team. Dr. Watts received his bachelor of science degree from Youngstown State University and his doctorate in osteopathic medicine from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed a fellowship in spine surgery at the Texas Back Institute in Dallas, Texas.
  • Dr. Elizabeth Yu is with WCH-affiliate Ohio State Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, where she serves as director of minimally invasive spine surgery. With an undergraduate degree in bioengineering, she works with the biodynamics lab to better understand the biomechanics of the spine – how it is affected by disease and improved with surgery.

Note: Bloomington Orthopedic Specialists and Ohio State Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine are affiliated with Wooster Community Hospital, which allows patients like you more convenient access to a greater number of specialty medical providers right here where you live.

Spinal Conditions Our Experts Treat

Conditions our spine surgery experts treat include:

  • Back pain
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Fractures of vertebra due to osteoporosis or trauma
  • Herniated discs
  • Myelopathy
  • Neck pain
  • Radiculopathy (pinched nerve in spine)
  • Sciatica
  • Scoliosis
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Spondylolisthesis
  • Spondylolysis
  • Strains and sprains
  • Tumors and cysts
  • Whiplash

Your Treatment Options

We use the least-invasive methods possible to bring long-term relief of your symptoms. Many surgical options can now be performed in a minimally invasive manner – meaning less post-op pain, less scarring, and a faster recovery period for you.

Our treatments and services include minimally invasive therapies such as injection-based vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty to repair compression fractures due to osteoporosis or trauma to the spine. We also perform a wide range of spine surgeries, including discectomy, laminectomy, and other techniques that can relieve nerve compression and treat other spinal problems.

Which treatment is right for you will depend on a number of factors, including your medical or spinal condition, the severity of your symptoms, your overall health, as well as your personal treatment goals and preferences. The spine surgery professionals at WCH provide personalized medical care that’s best-suited for each individual patient.

In many cases, our spine surgery patients will follow up with physical therapy at WCH’s HealthPoint facility.
