Pediatric Orthopedics

The Pediatric Center at Ortho Montana specializes in the care of pediatric musculoskeletal problems.

They understand that a child's musculoskeletal system is different from an adult's, requiring a different, specialized kind of care. They are committed to treating each child as if they were our own. They use compassionate care with cutting edge technology to develop the optimal treatment plan for each child.

They provide both operative and non-operative treatment options and prefer non-operative treatment whenever possible. However, their surgeon has extensive experience in operative care of many pediatric orthopedic problems including cerebral palsy, club foot, scoliosis, hip dysplasia, fractures, and dislocations just to name a few.

We bring a patient focused model to help return patients to a desired level of performance and get you back to getting back to doing what you love. This includes operative and non-operative options. We prioritize patient education by striving to understand patient limitations and problems by working with your other healthcare providers to coordinate care. We can often provide same-day services including in-house imaging. All of our physicians stay current with cutting edge technologies and procedures.

Provides free app developed by the experts at Shriners Hospitals for Children, that enables parents to perform a preliminary spine check on their child. The SpineScreen app detects abnormal curves when the phone is moved along a child’s back, giving parents a quick, informal way to regularly monitor their child’s spines. Parents can also schedule annual reminders, learn the signs of scoliosis and explore treatment options. The app is only a tool and results should be followed up by a doctor’s examination for an official diagnosis of scoliosis.
