Pediatric Orthopedics
Comprehensive Pediatric Orthopedics in Watertown, NY
At North Country Orthopaedic Group, we specialize in pediatric orthopedics, understanding that children are not just small adults – they require care that is sensitive, compassionate, and specialized. From the earliest days of orthopedics, which focused on treating children with spine and limb deformities, to the present, our practice has evolved to offer expert care for young athletes with sports-related injuries. We recognize that treating children demands an extra measure of kindness and understanding to ease their concerns and make their experience as comfortable as possible.
Furthermore, we recognize the pressing nature of addressing a child in pain, whether it stems from a playground mishap, a mid-season sports injury, or intricate pediatric surgical procedures. We take immense pride in ensuring the entire experience is as comfortable as possible for our patients, with a special focus on the well-being of the little ones!
Conditions We Treat in Children
The unique speed at which children heal from injuries necessitates a distinctive approach to their orthopedic care. Common conditions that may bring your child to our orthopedic doctors include:
- Bone-related birth defects (like clubfoot, scoliosis, limb length discrepancies)
- Gait abnormalities (such as limping)
- Fractures (broken bones)
- Bone or joint infections
- Growth plate injuries
- Common sports injuries, including ankle sprains, shin splints, knee and shoulder injuries
Tailored Treatment Approaches for Our Young Patients
Given the rapid healing capacity of children’s bones, non-surgical treatments are often the most effective. Our approach includes the use of braces, splints, and physical therapy to correct deformities and disabilities, while closely monitoring their growth and development. In cases where surgery is necessary, North Country Orthopedic Group offers minimally invasive techniques to ensure the best outcomes with the least impact on your child’s life - right on site at our Ambulatory Surgical Center.
Your child will benefit from the expertise of our devoted team of orthopedic doctors, comprised of a multi-disciplinary group of rehabilitation specialists, physical therapists, and orthopedic surgeons.
