Holistic pediatric orthopedics
Precise diagnoses and gentle treatments for your child
Pediatric orthopaedics is dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases and deformities of the musculoskeletal system in children and adolescents. We take into account the special needs and growth phases of young patients in order to ensure optimal development and mobility.
As trained pediatric orthopaedists (Hessen State Medical Association), we have many years of in-depth expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal problems in children.
What is pediatric orthopaedics?
Pediatric orthopedics is a specialized field that focuses on the special needs of the growing body. In contrast to adults, who often require surgical intervention, children have the unique opportunity to take corrective action at an early stage without having to resort directly to surgery.
In our practice, we place particular emphasis on helping your child to achieve a healthy musculoskeletal system through individual and gentle treatments – and in the most natural way possible.
What to do if your child has symptoms?
Does your child complain of back pain? Have you noticed any changes to your musculoskeletal system, such as a waddling gait or flat feet? Or does your child need orthopaedic and accident surgery support after an accident? In these cases, our pediatric orthopedist will be happy to assist you in the pediatric orthopedics consultation.
Not every physical change necessarily indicates a serious illness. It is therefore important to have any abnormalities clarified at an early stage to ensure that your child’s growth is uninterrupted.
Our doctors carefully examine whether the complaints are harmless and development-related or whether targeted treatment is required. We also always check whether an operation is necessary or whether a gentler, conservative therapy is sufficient.
Our pediatric orthopaedic philosophy: With a great deal of empathy and child-friendly examination methods, we create a trusting atmosphere for our young patients. Our aim is to sustainably improve and maintain children’s mobility and quality of life.
