Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services focus on reducing pain and restoring function through personalized treatment plans. We treat sports injuries, post-surgical conditions, and chronic pain using evidence-based techniques. Our therapists work closely with physicians to ensure comprehensive care that addresses each patient's specific needs.
Chiropractic Care
Evidence-based chiropractic treatments address musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders. Our doctors use spinal adjustments and manual therapies to treat neck pain, back pain, and headaches. This non-invasive approach focuses on improving mobility and promoting natural healing without medication.
Acupuncture
As a complementary treatment, acupuncture helps alleviate chronic pain and neurological conditions. Our practitioners use fine needles to stimulate specific points, promoting natural healing and pain relief. This service integrates with other therapies for comprehensive pain management solutions.
Sports Medicine
Specialized care for athletes at all levels addresses sports-related injuries and performance optimization. Our team treats acute injuries, provides concussion management, and develops return-to-play protocols. We combine physical therapy with sports-specific training to ensure safe recovery and injury prevention.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
This specialized physical therapy addresses pelvic floor dysfunction in both men and women. Our therapists use manual techniques and exercise programs to treat pelvic pain, incontinence, and postpartum recovery. The treatment focuses on improving muscle function and quality of life.

The entire staff at OSSI in Howland were terrific. Lindsay (PTA) and Dr Andrew were so kind and knowledgeable. They really know their stuff I wouldn't trust anyone one else with my family's PT needs.

Lindsay and her colleagues are amazing! One can immediately tell that they are caring, motivated, and genuinely enjoy what they do. They're also wonderful with kids. My daughter is a patient there and has made a lot of progress. I highly recommend!

Highly recommend! Visiting from Arizona and my back went out. I called and was able to see Dr Hospodar the same day! Dr. did a full assessment, adjusted me and gave an exercise plan that gave me complete relief in days. The office was quite busy, I was very impressed with how efficient and effective the staff worked. I received a follow up call the next day to check on my pain - great care given!
A week later I returned for a follow up - another great experience! New assessment and updated exercise plan to build strength in my back. Highly recommend Dr H. and the staff at Ohio Sports and Spine!

I've had 12 sessions at Ohio Sports and Spine, under Dr. Hospodar IV. This is by far the best facility that I have been to, even during the stressful times of this pandemic. I am always greeted and welcomed by caring and kind staff, with a great, can-do attitude. With great professionalism and attention to detail, I feel that I have excelled past my expectations of therapy.

I been going to Ohio sports and spine for 5 years and would never go any where else! The personal, sincere care that i receive is genuine by Dr. Hopodar and his amazing staff. Everyone is always so helpful and understanding with a smile. Dr Andrew Hospodar attentively listens to you about the issues you have going on. He has helped me when no other doctor's could. Dr. Hospodar has addressed and fixed a few issues other doctors have given up on. My physical and emotional quality of life has greatly improved since I have sought treatment at Ohio Sports and Spine with Dr. Hospodar. I highly recommend Dr. Hospodar and his staff.
