Sports injuries, chronic illness, and neurological conditions can all play a huge part in how a child goes about his or her daily life. The right orthopaedic treatment for these conditions, however, can foster a sense of confidence, independence, and fulfillment.

‍

At LuskinOIC, our specialized pediatric orthopaedic rehabilitation can treat a number of ailments, such as sports injuries, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, or hip dysplasia, through our world-class Orthopaedic Rehabilitation Center. Our treatment plans and programs offer orthopaedic therapy for both musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, because healing often goes beyond physical injury.

What to expect during treatment:

‍

Our approach to pediatric physical rehabilitation and occupational therapy starts with education. It’s important for you and your child to understand rehabilitation goals and plans, to ensure steady healing. This also tends to remove any fears the child might have in terms of recovery or a future outlook. Here, we aim to help your child develop a confident mindset as part of their healing journey.

‍

While our on-site therapy is a crucial part of the progress, home-care is just as important. For many conditions, you’ll receive at-home exercises that are an important step toward recovery.

A typical pediatric orthopaedic rehabilitation treatment plan

‍

First, we begin with determining the impact of an illness or injury on your child’s ability to move and function in daily life and in sports. Next, we’ll devise a rehabilitation plan tailored to help your child regain function, including range of motion and coordination. From there, we can provide the tools needed to implement the rehabilitation program both on-site and plans for care at home. 

‍

Because post-recovery prevention is also important, we’ll offer continued support to help your child reach their goals and prevent symptoms or injuries from worsening or recurring.

‍

‍

What conditions can be treated at LuskinOIC’s Rehabilitation Center?

‍

Not only do we specialize in physical therapy and occupational therapy for all ages and developmental stages from infant to adolescents, but we can treat a wide range of conditions. This includes:

• Orthopedic injuries like fractures, sprains, strains, muscle and ligament tears, joint bleeds, etc.
• Musculoskeletal and neurological conditions like torticollis, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, post-cancer rehab, cerebral palsy, developmental delay, dysplasia, radial aplasia, hypoplastic thumb, limb loss, clubfoot, and more.
• Post-surgery rehabilitation and recovery
• Health conditions that impact bone joints, mobility and function
• Toe Walking: A condition in which a child walks on the balls of their feet.
• Flexible Flatfeet: A common condition in children where the arches of the foot are visible while sitting, but disappear upon standing. The arch reappears when a child stands on their toes or the toes are hyperextended.

Our goal is more than simply treating a condition; it’s about whole-child healing from mindset to post-recovery wellness. Our team of experts can walk you through every phase of your child’s recovery journey. To learn more about LuskinOIC’s Rehabilitation Center, watch our educational video below!
