At Casper Orthopedics, our fellowship-trained pediatric orthopedic doctor is an expert in assessing, diagnosing, and treating orthopedic injuries and conditions in children.
A pediatric orthopedic doctor is a medical professional who specializes in providing care for children of all ages with bone, joint, and muscle injuries and conditions. These musculoskeletal problems can range from limb and spine deformities to fractures and sports-related injuries. Pediatric orthopedic doctors also see children who have experienced a traumatic accident or fall.
Because pediatric orthopedic doctors have undergone extensive education and training, they have a deep understanding of the many orthopedic problems a child can face as well as how these problems can affect a growing musculoskeletal system. They also know how to carefully listen to children and work with them and their parents to create a personalized treatment plan.
It’s important to be aware of the specific issues surrounding your child’s pain so you can help your child tell their doctor what they are experiencing. Sharing this information with your child’s doctor can help him or her better understand what might be causing your child’s pain and what treatment to offer.
