Kids are the most active members of our families, and they suffer musculoskeletal injuries, just like adults.
However, since children are still growing, their bones have growth plates which often differentiate their injuries from ones suffered by adults. Children also face a variety of musculoskeletal conditions that could affect their development later in life.
Kansas City Orthopedic Alliance provides specialized attention focused on the unique differences in each child’s body.
Our board-certified, fellowship-trained pediatric orthopedic physicians and surgeons are highly experienced in their respective fields and are considered among the top orthopedic providers in the Midwest.
Along with our physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and support staff, Kansas City Orthopedic Alliance physicians deliver the utmost level of dedicated care across a range of subspecialties. While diverse in background and capabilities, the common thread that brings all of our team members together is our patient-centered approach.
Get Started
By using the latest technologies, most advanced diagnostic studies, and effective treatment solutions, our physicians ensure your child receives the best pediatric orthopedic care.
For Any Condition. For Every Body.
What We Treat
Treatment Options
Physical Therapy
The best pediatric orthopedic plans typically include a referral to a physical or occupational therapist to help regain range of motion, decrease pain, and increase strength in the affected area. A child’s body adapts and heals through movement, especially when guided by a trained musculoskeletal expert. Physical therapy may also help with mobility challenges caused by developmental conditions.
Casts & Braces
For fractures, sprains, and strains, casts or braces help stabilize the injured area to promote healing. Specifically with fractures, more conservative measures like casting and bracing are the preferred choice of treatment.
Prescription Medications
Your child’s physician may recommend over-the-counter or prescription medications to reduce pain, muscle spasms, inflammation, and more. This will depend on your child’s specific needs, symptoms, and other factors surrounding your condition.
Orthopedic Surgery
Kansas City Orthopedic Alliance’s physicians only recommend surgical intervention when we have exhausted all other conservative measures, or it is apparent the only available solution is surgery. This is always a collaborative decision. It’s important you feel empowered to make the best decision for you and your child, with your goals and timelines in mind.
