Comprehensive Pediatric Orthopedic Care for Your Child
When the pediatric patient arrives for an orthopedic evaluation, the first step will be an examination. We will use advanced imaging technologies when necessary, but also keep things gentle and non-frightening for your child. Once our orthopedic specialist arrives at a diagnosis, we'll be able to provide you with some treatment options.
These treatment options can vary. Whenever possible, we will stick with nonsurgical treatments, which might include the use of medication, an orthotic device, or physical therapy. However, in some cases, surgery may be required. Our doctors will be able to fill you in on everything you and your child can expect from pediatric orthopedic surgery, including the procedure itself as well as the recovery time. Note that the goal of surgical intervention is to resolve the problem quickly and fully, restoring your child to full mobility while relieving his or her pain and discomfort.
When it comes to your child's health, it's vital to seek care from the appropriate specialists, and that means seeking the right specialty-trained doctors who can combine their medical knowledge with a calming, kid-friendly approach. That's where our practice shines. We understand the unique needs that our young patients have, and we strive to get them back on their feet as quickly as possible while making the experience as friendly and relaxed as we can.
