     INNOVATIVE CLINICAL TRIAL
Centinel Spine has initiated an FDA trial to study two new disc designs, specifically intended to treat two-level cervical disc herniation and neck pain. Dr's McLain and Anderson of SVCMC are the only two surgeons in Ohio approved to provide this surgery!
​Doctor Robert McLain M.D. will continue enrolling selected patients for a clinical trial  comparing the new prodisc® cervical disc replacement with the FDA approved Mobi-C® implants ​in patients requiring two-level cervical disc replacement.  If you are a patient with neck and arm pain, have not had previous neck surgery, and you've been told you need a two-level fusion or disc replacement, please consider getting a second opinion to see if you qualify for this opportunity. 

​Anyone interested in participating should contact Study Coordinator Jayson Zadzilka at 330.205.1334 or jzbiomedical@gmail.com.  For more information about this study, visit ClinicalTrials.gov at https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04012996.

Return to physical fitness and sports is possible even after lumbar fusion

Physical Therapy and Chiropractic Care 

Physical fitness and mobility play a crucial role in keeping our bones, joints, back and neck fit and pain free.  Once you've suffered an injury or had surgery, restoring fitness and retraining the muscles is even more important.  Our offices offer physical therapy, and coordinate our programs with your Chiropractic or Physical Therapist, to insure you receive therapies that sooth and relieve pain, and maximize your return to fitness and function.  Therapy options include our own therapy center, referral for services provided by expert doctors and  therapists at nearby offices, or visiting therapists in your own home.
