Orlando Health Launches Spine Center in Tampa Bay area
The program will focus on finding customized solutions for those with back issues
Orlando, FL (September 1, 2026) – Today, Orlando Health is debuting the Orlando Health Spine Center in the Tampa Bay area. The multidisciplinary program brings together orthopedic, neurosurgical and pain management physicians to provide prompt diagnosis and treatment for patients with back and spine concerns.
“Our goal is to make it easy for patients to connect with a specialist and receive the care they need quickly,” said Michael Jablonski, MD, president of the Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute and Orlando Health Neuroscience Institute. “By bringing together a team of spine experts, we can provide coordinated care for a wide range of spine conditions, helping patients access the right treatment in a seamless manner.”
The center is comprised of multiple locations across the Tampa Bay area, including Tampa, Zephyrhills, Wesley Chapel, Brandon, Land O’Lakes and St. Petersburg. Two of those practices – Wesley Chapel and St. Petersburg – will offer walk-in clinics, where patients can receive care without making an appointment. With leading orthopedic, neuroscience and pain specialists at the helm, the program will guide patients through a customized journey to fit their needs, whether it’s physical therapy and rehabilitation, pain management, or minimally invasive surgery. The center, with a total of seven providers, will treat patients with conditions ranging from muscle strain to sciatica pain to more complex conditions.
“I’m excited about the expansion of the Orlando Health Spine Center to Florida’s west coast. It brings specialized spine care closer to home, giving patients in our region faster, easier access to the care they need without having to travel far to get it,” said physician leader Seth Cooper, MD, an orthopedic surgeon with Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute – West Region.
