The General Orthopedics Program

Our General Orthopedics Program treats a variety of pediatric orthopedic conditions, from fractures and sprains to more complex conditions such as developmental, congenital and neuromuscular diagnoses.

About the General Orthopedics Program

We provide a multidisciplinary care approach, meaning our team includes a variety of orthopedic experts who work together to deliver timely, comprehensive care. This includes pediatric physicians, radiology technicians, medical assistants, registered nurses, orthopedic technicians and onsite orthotists.

One of the many benefits of a multidisciplinary approach is that we can offer one-stop visits in a single location. Our services include:

• X-rays
• Splinting
• Casting or other orthopedic device treatments
• Physical therapy
