Spina Bifida
Although there are many physicians who treat spina bifida in children, there are few such specialists for adults. Through our Adult Spina Bifida Clinic, we offer a variety of services and resources designed to help individuals with spina bifida as they transition from pediatric care to adult care.
How We Heal
In our Adult Spina Bifida Clinic, we address several key issues for adults: bladder and bowel control, depression, education and work accommodations, fitness, weight, mobility, osteoporosis/fractures, pressure sores, and sexual function.
