Aptiva Health - Central Louisville
Aptiva Health's central Louisville campus at 3615 Newburg Road is our flagship location and the home of our largest provider team, our on-site Imaging Center (with two MRI machines), our Immediate Injury Care walk-in clinic, and the Spine Center of Excellence. Whether you need a same-day evaluation for a new injury, a $350 cash-pay MRI, a consultation with an orthopedic or spine surgeon, an interventional pain procedure, or bilingual physical therapy - it all happens here, in one building, with your providers coordinating directly with each other on your care.
Louisville's Most Complete Outpatient Musculoskeletal Campus
Most musculoskeletal clinics offer one service line under one roof - an orthopedic group, or a pain practice, or an imaging center, or a PT clinic. Patients end up driving across town to multiple buildings, repeating their history to providers who do not talk to each other, and waiting weeks for the next step.
Our central Louisville campus is built differently. Under one roof on Newburg Road, you have:
Orthopedic surgery - knee, shoulder, hip, hand and foot specialists
Spine surgery - the Aptiva Spine Center of Excellence, with fellowship-trained spine surgeons performing minimally invasive lumbar microdiscectomy, ACDF, cervical disc replacement, MAS TLIF, and full spinal reconstruction
Interventional pain management - epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, medial branch blocks, radiofrequency ablation
Physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) - non-surgical management of complex musculoskeletal conditions
On-site MRI - two machines, $350 cash-pay (the lowest published price in the Louisville region)
Digital X-ray - immediate imaging during your visit
Physical therapy - including bilingual (English/Spanish) PT
Immediate Injury Care - walk-in evaluation for new musculoskeletal injuries
Massage therapy and dry needling
You see a surgeon, get an MRI, start a pain procedure, and begin physical therapy without ever leaving the building - and every provider on your care team is reviewing the same images and the same notes.
And because the Concussion & Sports Medicine Institute sits next door at 3611 Newburg, patients with combined musculoskeletal and concussion needs (common after motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, and work injuries) can be coordinated across both buildings on the same day.

ON-SITE MRI
Our central Louisville campus houses two MRI machines and the highest-volume imaging suite in the Aptiva network. We offer cash-pay MRI at $350 per scan - the lowest published price in the Louisville metropolitan region and a fraction of what hospital-based MRI typically costs.
Two machines on site means appointments are usually available within a few days, not the two-to-three week waits common at larger imaging centers. If you are seeing an Aptiva surgeon or pain physician, your MRI images and report go directly into your care team's chart - no faxing, no portal hunting, no "we don't have the disc yet" delays at your follow-up visit.
