As a world-renowned leader in providing specialized pediatric medical care, we utilize the latest clinical and scientific research in our comprehensive approach to treatment.
Children with neuromuscular conditions have unique needs that often evolve as the child grows and gets older, or as the condition progresses. These conditions may cause problems with strength and mobility, and lead to the development of secondary medical concerns. We customize our care plans to treat the current needs of the child and to minimize additional conditions from developing. Every family we interact with is guided through the treatment process in a warm, collaborative environment that always puts the child first. Our focus is to help every child meet their potential and live their best life – physically, emotionally and psychologically – during every step of their journey with Shriners Children’s.
