We treat children and teens with a wide range of needs.  From pre-term infants to the young athlete and all ages in-between, we are prepared to help.   An evaluation will be completed during your first visit when we will discuss your child's needs and perform an examination to assess which areas to address.  From there, we will develop goals and a plan of care.  We realize children live in the community and need to be able to function in a variety of places - school, grocery store, home, theme park, wherever!  We also realize children have social and emotional needs.  We work to help your child feel comfortable, confident, and independent! Our motto is, "MOVE/LEARN/PLAY" because movement alone is not enough.  Everyone needs a purpose with somewhere to go and something to explore.  Life is full of adventures and your child deserves to be part of it all.

The Fit Kids  program is designed to help fight the obesity epidemic our young people are facing in the United States.   We focus on three main areas with your child or teen - physical activity, basic nutrition, and education all wrapped up in a fun, motivating environment to help your child take charge of his/her own health journey.  This program may be covered by your insurance.  Call and ask us for more information!

We provide our patients with onsite  orthotics services.  We are able to assess, measure, and order a variety of shoe insert supports, SMOs, and AFOs.  We then follow up with you in the clinic for fitting and adjusting braces as needed.
