Because children are growing and changing from infancy through adolescence, their rehabilitation often requires the coordination of many different types of services delivered over many years. At NewYork-Presbyterian, we continually tailor our treatments based on your child's anticipated growth, and offer a variety of physical medicine and rehabilitation treatment approaches, including:
- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Speech therapy
- Feeding evaluation and therapy
- Botulinum toxin (Botox®) to minimize drooling
- Spasticity treatment with Botox and phenol injections and intrathecal baclofen pumps
- Dystonia treatment
- Relief of chronic pain
- Evaluation and fitting for wheelchairs and other adaptive equipment
- Respiratory therapy for neuromuscular disorders
