Advanced treatments for pediatric spine care
Our pediatric spine specialists utilize both common and advanced treatment options to address a variety of spinal conditions.
Bracing and physical therapy
Often effective for mild to moderate conditions, our non-surgical treatments focus on relieving pain, enhancing mobility and preventing progression.
Minimally invasive spine surgery
We offer minimally invasive procedures for various spine conditions, reducing recovery time and minimizing discomfort.
Spinal fusion surgery
In cases of severe scoliosis or other complex spinal deformities, spinal fusion may be recommended to stabilize the spine.
Growth-sparing techniques
For younger children still growing, we use specialized techniques to treat spine deformities without affecting future growth.
Advanced imaging and robotic-assisted surgery
We are proud to be a leader in using robotic-assistence technology for spinal surgery, ensuring precision and safety for our young patients.
Our multi-disciplinary team stays at the forefront of pediatric spine care, offering treatments that combine innovative techniques with compassionate, individualized care.
