Our pediatric spine program sees, treats and heals children with scoliosis and other congenital spinal disorders, which are often present at birth and continue to have lasting effects through a child’s development and growth. Many of these congenital abnormalities are noted at birth, however, they can be difficult to identify in some children. Our spine specialists in Denver diagnose pediatric spinal disorders and treat your child as they grow into a young adult.
