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:
At the Baxter Health, our orthopaedic staff understands that a child's musculoskeletal system is different than an adult's, requiring a specialized type of care.
We treat all children as if they were our own, recognizing that children's bodies and minds are special and must be cared for accordingly. That's why, at Baxter Health, we have medical professionals who are trained to treat children's pediatric musculoskeletal injuries.
Our staff combines the use of compassionate care with leading-edge technological advancements to develop a plan of care that is personalized to fit the needs of each child we care for. Baxter Health's orthopaedic surgeons, physicians, occupational and physical therapists, and other staff members work tirelessly to achieve the ultimate goal of helping each child reach maximum function as quickly and safely as possible.
