Specialized orthopedic care for growing bodies
Get answers about your child’s pain.
Children and teens are still growing, which means orthopedic injuries and conditions need to be evaluated with growth, development, activity level, and long-term movement in mind. A problem that seems simple at first, such as a sprain, fracture, sports injury, or ongoing pain, may need a closer look when it affects a growing bone, joint, muscle, growth plate, or spine.
Southern Oregon Orthopedics provides pediatric orthopedic care in Medford and Grants Pass for young patients with injuries, pain, and musculoskeletal concerns. Our team helps families understand the diagnosis, review treatment options, and move forward with care that supports healing, function, and healthy development.
When to see a pediatric orthopedic specialist
Your child may benefit from an evaluation for:
- Persistent bone, joint, or muscle pain
- Pain or dysfunction that affects walking, movement, sports, or daily activities
- A fracture, dislocation, or sports-related injury
- Pain or symptoms related to growth or overuse
- Concerns about scoliosis, spinal development, or another growth-related condition
- Mild congenital clubfoot
- Symptoms that are not improving or that continue to return
If your child has ongoing pain, a growth-related concern, a sports injury, or a fracture, an orthopedic evaluation can help determine what is causing the problem and whether treatment or monitoring is needed.

Diagnosis and treatment
How pediatric orthopedic conditions are diagnosed
A clear diagnosis helps your specialist recommend the right treatment
Pediatric orthopedic conditions require age-appropriate evaluation because growing bones, joints, muscles, soft tissues, and growth plates can respond differently to injury and treatment. Your child’s assessment may include a review of symptoms and development, a physical exam, and diagnostic imaging when needed.
Diagnostic testing may include digital X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans.
Treatment options
Care is tailored to your child’s condition and stage of growth
Nonsurgical care may include activity modification and orthotics to support alignment and movement, casts, braces, or splints to promote healing and stability, observation and monitoring for mild conditions, pain-management strategies, and physical therapy or rehabilitation to improve strength, flexibility, and function.
Treatment recommendations are based on the diagnosis, the severity of the condition or injury, your child’s age and development, and how symptoms affect movement and daily activities.
Connected care
Why families choose us for pediatric orthopedic care
Clear guidance for every stage of care.
Children’s orthopedic needs can change as they grow, so clear communication and coordinated care are especially important. Families need to understand what is causing the problem, whether it may affect growth or development, what treatment options are available, and what follow-up may be needed.
Southern Oregon Orthopedics connects age-appropriate evaluation, diagnostic imaging, observation and monitoring, casting, bracing, orthotics, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and follow-up care. That gives families a clearer path from diagnosis through recovery, with fewer unnecessary handoffs along the way.
