Paediatric Orthopaedics focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases and abnormalities of the musculoskeletal system in babies, children and teenagers.
Through expert care, a paediatric orthopaedic specialist helps to ensure healthy development, promoting mobility and improving the quality of life for young patients.
Early diagnosis is key to identifying potential problems that could affect a child’s development. A full range of tests is available, including hip ultrasound for babies, X-rays and other imaging techniques, to provide an accurate assessment.
Depending on each child’s needs, we offer personalised physiotherapy and posture correction programmes, as well as the use of orthoses, insoles and orthopaedic braces, such as scoliosis braces or the Pavlik harness. Where necessary, corrective orthopaedic surgery is also available.
At Joaquim Chaves Saúde, every treatment is carefully tailored to the child’s age and stage of development, ensuring highly personalised and safe care.
