Pediatric Care

Bone Health for Children & Young Adults

A child’s body goes through rampant, extreme changes in a very small amount of time. While most kids don't' experience bone or joint pain outside of occasional injuries, some orthopaedic conditions can affect a child's growth and development.

When that happens, it's important to seek proper medical attention right away. Early diagnosis and treatment can make a big difference in helping your child grow strong and stay active.

When to See a Pediatric Orthopedist

We employ a team of medical professionals who are well versed in treating a variety of conditions affecting children, including:

  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Clubfoot
  • Muscular Dystrophy
  • Perthes' Disease
  • Scoliosis
  • Skeletal Dysplasia
  • Spina Bifida
  • Fractures and broken bones
  • Dislocations
  • Overuse injuries (from sports or activity)
