Whether your child has just received a diagnosis of a spine disorder or needs ongoing care, our Wolfson Children’s Spine Center experts are here to provide early diagnosis, treatment and long-term management for a variety of conditions.
Spine treatment in children is highly specialized since their bones are still growing. That’s why we have the only orthopedic surgeons in the region who have additional pediatric orthopedic training. And if your child needs neurosurgery expertise, you can feel good knowing that Wolfson Children’s has one of the best neurosurgery programs in the nation.
We bring together a team of experts from different medical specialties to provide the highest level of coordinated care for your child. Our patient-centered approach takes your child from diagnosis or second opinion to personalized, cutting-edge treatment and ongoing therapy or rehabilitation.
