Pediatric Orthopedic Conditions: Nurturing Healthy Growth

POBAR specializes in managing various pediatric orthopedic conditions affecting growth and development. Our team utilizes cutting-edge techniques, including bracing and non-surgical interventions, to address hip dysplasia, scoliosis, spina bifida, clubfoot, and other developmental conditions. Through personalized care plans, we aim to enhance your child's mobility and overall well-being.

• Hip Dysplasia:

  At POBAR, the leading pediatric orthopedic practice in Tampa our expertise in managing hip dysplasia includes cutting-edge techniques and personalized care plans to ensure healthy hip development in children. Treatment options may vary depending on the severity of the condition but can include harnesses or braces to help stabilize the hip joint and encourage proper alignment. 
  In some cases, surgical intervention such as a hip osteotomy may be necessary to reposition the hip joint and improve function. These treatments work by gradually realigning the hip joint, reducing strain on the affected area, and promoting normal development of the hip socket.
  

• Scoliosis:

  Non-surgical management and bracing for scoliosis are specialties at POBAR, aiming to enhance spinal alignment and overall well-being in children. Bracing involves the use of custom-made orthotic devices that apply pressure to the spine, helping to correct curvature and prevent further progression of the condition.  
  Physical therapy and exercises may also be recommended to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine. These treatments work by exerting external forces on the spine, gradually guiding it into a more aligned position and reducing the degree of curvature over time.
  

• Spina Bifida:

  Our comprehensive approach to Spina Bifida involves personalized care plans to address specific needs, ensuring optimal mobility and quality of life. Treatment may include surgical interventions to repair the spinal defect and manage associated complications such as hydrocephalus. 

  Physical therapy and assistive devices may also be utilized to improve muscle strength, mobility, and independence. These treatments work by addressing the underlying spinal abnormalities, managing symptoms, and supporting overall function and well-being.
  

• Clubfoot:

  POBAR excels in managing clubfoot, utilizing advanced techniques and personalized care plans to promote proper foot development. Treatment typically involves a series of gentle manipulations and casting to gradually correct the position of the foot. 
  In some cases, minor surgical procedures may be necessary to release tight tendons or ligaments contributing to the deformity. Bracing and physical therapy may also be recommended to maintain correction and prevent relapse. These treatments work by gradually realigning the structures of the foot, allowing for normal development and function over time.
  

• Foot Deformities:

  Whether addressing bunions or other foot deformities, POBAR's specialists in Tampa provide tailored care plans to enhance mobility and foot health in children. 

  Treatment options may include custom orthotic devices, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgical correction to realign bones and soft tissues. These treatments work by addressing the underlying structural abnormalities, relieving pain, and restoring proper foot function and alignment.
  

• Developmental Conditions:

  Various developmental orthopedic conditions are carefully managed at POBAR, utilizing advanced techniques and personalized care plans to support healthy growth and development. 

  Treatment approaches may vary depending on the specific condition but often include a combination of physical therapy, orthotic devices, and surgical intervention when necessary. These treatments aim to address underlying skeletal abnormalities, improve mobility and function, and promote optimal development in children.
