Kids we care for each year
We’re experts in children’s health.
Because we care only for kids, we understand their unique needs and how sports injuries can affect development. We protect a child’s growth with the right treatment.
We use nonsurgical approaches.
Not every sports injury needs surgery. We use braces, orthotics (inserts put in shoes to help foot problems) and a variety of exercises and therapies to help your child recover.
We’re world-recognized in orthopedics and orthopedic surgery.
Our orthopedics teams offer the latest sports surgeries like ligament reconstruction and transplant. We can use methods that need smaller, fewer cuts for a faster recovery.
We manage a range of sports-related issues.
We work with other specialists to address things like pain, mental issues, lack of energy and problems that affect females. We also see Special Olympic athletes.
We’re active in pediatric sports medicine research.
From studying dynamic ultrasound technology to looking at ways to predict and prevent certain injuries, our
research
is game changing. We also offer
clinical trials
.
Advanced Equipment and Rehab Facilities
Our rehab programs use the latest technologies to assess injury and body mechanics. We have track and field facilities, gym equipment and therapy pools in some areas.
