The Pediatric Spine Program at Arkansas Children’s includes a multidisciplinary team of orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons who treat the full spectrum of spinal conditions using the latest technology and surgical techniques. The Spine Program provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment, working in close collaboration with anesthesiology, pulmonology, rehabilitation medicine, and neurology to achieve patient-focused care.

 

Conditions Treated

Many spine conditions are treated with bracing or physical therapy, but sometimes surgery is necessary. We offer both surgical and non-surgical treatment options. Our preoperative and postoperative care pathways have achieved an outstanding track record, with shorter hospital stays and excellent safety when compared to national data.
