Help Your Spine Feel Fine

Join us for a free virtual health talk with Dr. Jonathan E. Belding, an orthopaedic spine surgeon with MetroHealth’s Spine Center. He will explain the effects of aging on the spine, different spine conditions and discuss options to help you get relief, including options without surgery and without medication – and he’ll answer your questions.
