Pediatric Rehabilitation

We offer pediatric physical therapy services at our outpatient clinic in Carrollton, GA. Our therapists specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of infants and children with a variety of congenital, developmental, neuromuscular, or skeletal disorders. Specialty services include Neurodevelopmental Treatment.

A licensed therapist will examine and evaluate strengths and impairments through an in-depth analytical process. This process helps the therapist learn about the functional limitations and abilities of your child. The goal of treatment is to help them function more independently.

We also offer pediatric physical and occupational therapy services through our local school-system contract.

PEDIATRIC PHYSICAL THERAPY

Pediatric physical therapists are specifically trained to improve the lives and daily function of children who suffer from a wide range of injuries and congenital conditions. Our therapist can translate your child’s therapeutic goals into exercises that seem more like play than therapy, making rehabilitation fun. Our physical therapy program can benefit children with conditions including:
  • Brain trauma and injuries
  • Cerebral palsy — a disorder affecting a child’s muscle tone, movement or posture
  • Developmental delays
  • General orthopedic — injuries to the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles
  • Genetic syndromes — Down syndrome (which can cause developmental and intellectual delays) and muscular dystrophy (which can impact muscle mass and strength)
  • Gross motor skills — deficits including muscle strength, coordination and balance
  • Hypertonia or hypotonia — abnormally high or weak muscle tone, respectively
  • Post-fracture care
  • Spina bifida — a birth defect affecting the spinal cord
  • Sports-related pain or poor posture
  • Sprains and strains
  • Torticollis — a condition causing the head to twist to one side
