A child’s body goes through rampant, extreme changes in a very small
amount of time. Our anatomy is built for this rapid change, and most children
do not experience any sort of joint or bone pains outside of injury. There
are rare occasions, however, when a condition interferes with the child’s
ability to grow, and this is when it’s time to see a pediatric orthopedist.
These injuries and conditions could permanently affect the child’s
ability to grow and develop, making it imperative that you see proper
medical attention right away so that your loved one can receive the treatment
they need.
We employ a team of medical professionals who are well versed in treating
a variety of conditions affecting children, including:
Cerebral Palsy
Club foot
Muscular Dystrophy
Perthes' Disease
Scoliosis
Skeletal Dysplasia
Spina Bifida
Fractures
Dislocations
Overuse injuries

advancements to develop a plan of care that is personalized to fit the
