When your child or teen is in pain, you can rely on LVH Pediatric Rheumatology to support your family with compassionate care just for kids.

Our services

We treat a wide range of musculoskeletal and autoimmune conditions, including:

  • Juvenile idiopathic arthritis
  • Lupus
  • Kawasaki disease
  • Inflammatory disorders of joints, muscles or eyes
  • Extended, unexplained fevers
  • Muscle pain, loss of appetite and fatigue

Our pediatric rheumatology team takes great care to evaluate and diagnose the underlying cause of your child’s condition or pain. The most important diagnostic tools a pediatric rheumatologist has are the child’s medical history and a physical examination. In some cases, a blood test may be needed to confirm a diagnosis.

Treating rheumatoid diseases in children

While no cures exist for pediatric rheumatic diseases, we offer evidence-based treatments that provide long-term relief from inflammation and pain. Our experts are committed to helping your child maintain an active, healthy life while managing chronic conditions and will start with the least aggressive treatment approach that is likely to provide relief.
