Pediatric Orthopedics

Act now, so your child can move easier. 

Watching your child grow and develop is one of the true pleasures of being a parent. But genetic issues and accidents may affect their bones and joints in unexpected ways, causing pain, slowing their growth, and even stealing some of their newfound independence. With the right treatment under children’s orthopedic doctors, many of these issues may be corrected before they become bigger problems, helping you get your child back on a pain-free developmental track. 

Pediatric Orthopedic Specialists 

Pediatric orthopedic specialists focus on musculoskeletal problems in children who are still growing, including newborns through teenagers, because the response to injury, infection or deformity in the musculoskeletal system of a growing child differs from that of an adult. Pediatric orthopedic surgeons work in specialty children’s orthopedic hospitals such as Palm Beach Children’s Hospital and West Boca Medical Center to ensure children with multiple medical conditions receive the multidisciplinary care they need from different pediatric specialists.
