Pediatric and adolescent sports medicine
Physical activity is a vital part of a healthy lifestyle for your child, though injuries during sports may occur. Trained in the most up-to-date care of pediatric and adolescent sports injuries, the physicians at Children’s Bone and Spine Surgery lead the Las Vegas valley in the treatment of acute and overuse injuries in young athletes.
Effective care of pediatric athletes involves not only knowledge of the many types of injuries and their treatments but also insight into the demands of the various sports and the needs of individual athletes.
As always, individualizing treatment leads to greater patient satisfaction and improved results.

Clubfeet and Foot Deformity
Clubfoot describes a range of foot abnormalities that may present at birth. Orthopedic specialists are trained in both conservative and surgical measures for treating these conditions, based upon the severity. Dr. Ryan uses the Ponseti casting technique for clubfoot treatment, avoiding extensive traditional surgery in most cases, and improving long-term outcomes. We also treat a range of other foot conditions.

Nonsurgical Treatment
While our physicians and surgeons have been trained at Harvard, UCLA and Redys Children Hospital, we work to achieve positive outcomes for our patients when medically appropriate through non-surgical means.
Many conditions that we treat do not require surgery; for others, surgery may be recommended only if an appropriate course of nonsurgical measures has failed.
Our providers work to discuss with you the pros and cons of various treatment options to provide individualized care for your child.

At Children’s Bone and Spine Surgery, we have many years of specific, advanced training developing expertise in effectively managing curvature of the spine (Scoliosis).
Dr. Kitchen employs a combination of orthotic, nonsurgical and surgical solutions to best meet the needs of each child.
