Pediatric Orthopedic Treatment

Pediatric orthopedic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. At Advance Ortho Center, we understand the unique needs of young patients and provide specialized care to ensure their growth, development, and overall well-being. Our experienced team of pediatric orthopedic specialists is dedicated to offering comprehensive treatment for a wide range of conditions, helping children lead active and healthy lives.

Pediatric orthopedics is a subspecialty of orthopedics that deals with the evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal issues in children. The bones, muscles, and joints of children differ significantly from those of adults, and our specialists are trained to address these differences effectively. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and ensure optimal outcomes for our young patients.

Conditions Treated in Pediatric Orthopedics

At Advance Ortho Center, we treat a variety of pediatric orthopedic conditions, including:

  • Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH): DDH is a condition where the hip joint does not develop properly, leading to instability. Early detection and treatment are essential for preventing long-term complications.
  • Scoliosis: Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that can occur in children and adolescents. Treatment options may include observation, bracing, or surgery, depending on the severity of the curve.
  • Fractures: Children are prone to fractures due to their active lifestyles. Our specialists are experienced in diagnosing and treating fractures, ensuring proper healing and recovery.
  • Osgood-Schlatter Disease: The bone is shattered into several pieces, usually requiring surgical intervention.
  • Osgood-Schlatter Disease:This condition causes knee pain in growing children, typically due to overuse or stress on the knee joint. Treatment often involves rest, physical therapy, and pain management.
  • Juvenile Arthritis: Juvenile arthritis refers to various inflammatory joint conditions that affect children. Our specialists work closely with families to manage symptoms and maintain joint function.
  • Flatfoot (Pes Planus):Flatfoot is a common condition in children where the arch of the foot is flattened. Treatment may involve orthotic devices, physical therapy, or monitoring as the child grows.

Types of Pediatric Orthopedic Treatments We Offer

At Advance Ortho Center, we provide a wide range of treatment options tailored to the specific needs of our pediatric patients, including:

  • Clubfoot Correction: Surgical intervention to correct clubfoot if conservative treatments are not successful.
