Specialization at Shriners Children's Erie
Our team of physicians and specialists at Shriners Children's Erie are highly-trained and experienced in pediatric orthopedic care. Our outpatient clinic focuses on a wide range of orthopedic conditions including fracture care, orthotic and prosthetic services, scoliosis and spine care and rehabilitation and a variety of other conditions ranging from simple to complex.
Fracture Care
Fracture care is provided to children and families on a referral basis. So, if your child has experienced a fracture, they must first be seen by a physician, urgent care center or an emergency room doctor. The physician can then arrange an appointment through our referral process. Our medical center does not offer emergency room or urgent care services for fractures or injuries.
Orthopedic Care
If your child has an orthopedic condition that requires specialized care, Shriners Children's Erie is an exceptional facility to consider for their treatment. We provide comprehensive care for orthopedic conditions, including surgery, rehabilitation, and treatment. Our team is committed to ensuring your child receives an optimal outcome.
Pediatric Orthotic and Prosthetic Services
When you and your child visit our POPS team, it is more than measurements and mechanics. It is about your child sharing their hopes and dreams and providing our team with information specific to them. These personalized details about your child's activities and lifestyle allow our technicians to return to the lab and design a perfect fit just for them.
Scoliosis and Spine Care
Our team of pediatric orthopedic specialists provide treatment for a variety of spinal conditions including scoliosis. Our treatment approach for these conditions will vary depending on the cause of the disorder and the progression of the spinal curve.
If your child has scoliosis or a spine condition, our team of specialists will work with you to develop a plan that covers all aspects of their care, including surgery, rehabilitation, treatment and psychological support.
