About Myelo Clinic

Children with spina bifida will face complex medical issues at every stage of their life, often involving multiple body systems such as the central nervous system, musculoskeletal system, urinary and intestinal systems.

We will be here for you every step of the way to help you make informed decisions about advanced surgical treatments, ongoing therapies, daily challenges and the transition to adulthood.

Our team includes board certified specialists in developmental and behavioral pediatrics, neurosurgery, physiatry, orthopedics, urology and gastroenterology, as well as specialists in physical and occupational therapy and nutrition services.
