Pediatric neurology is a critical specialty that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles in children. Neurological disorders can affect a child’s development, behavior, movement, and cognitive abilities, making early detection and intervention crucial. At Intown Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine, we offer comprehensive pediatric neurology services to help manage and treat neurological conditions, ensuring your child receives the care they need to thrive.
Our dedicated team of pediatric neurology specialists works closely with families to develop personalized treatment plans for each child, addressing their unique neurological needs. Whether your child is experiencing developmental delays or a more complex condition like seizure disorders, our pediatric neurologists provide expert care designed to support their overall well-being and development.
Why Pediatric Neurology Matters
Neurological conditions in children can manifest in many ways, from developmental delays to more severe conditions such as seizures. These issues can impact a child’s ability to function in daily life, affecting their ability to learn, move, or communicate effectively. Pediatric neurologists are specially trained to address these challenges, providing targeted treatments and therapies that help children improve their quality of life.
Early intervention is critical for children with neurological disorders. Early diagnosis allows for more effective treatments, which can significantly enhance a child’s development and long-term health outcomes. At Intown Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine, we emphasize a holistic approach to care, combining medical treatments with developmental support to ensure that your child receives the comprehensive care they need.
Dr. Sells is fantastic! We have been with her since our baby since her release from the NICU! Dr. Sells is very knowledgeable and patient! She has helped our baby love her visits to the doctor, even requesting to go see “Dr. Sells” without a scheduled appointment. Thank you for the special gifts (books) at each scheduled doctor’s visit! Perfect touch!
Common Pediatric Neurological Conditions
Our pediatric neurology team treats a wide range of conditions that affect the nervous system, including:
Seizure disorders
These conditions involve abnormal electrical activity in the brain, leading to seizures that can vary in intensity and frequency.
Developmental delays
Some children experience delays in reaching important milestones such as walking, talking, or socializing, which can be caused by neurological issues that require assessment and intervention.
We offer a range of diagnostic tools and therapies designed to address your child’s specific neurological needs and support their developmental progress.
