At Banner Children’s, our pediatric neurology team works closely with other specialists - such as orthopedic doctors, physical therapists and sleep medicine physicians - to provide the best possible care for your child. As your child’s brain grows and develops, we are here to diagnose and treat a wide range of brain and nervous system conditions that require expert skill and compassion.
We create personalized treatment plans tailored to your child’s specific needs, condition, and stage of development. Our team is committed to helping your child get back to learning, playing and enjoying life as quickly as possible.
Thanks to advancements in technology and research, there are many effective treatment options for pediatric neurological conditions. Depending on your child’s diagnosis, their treatment plan may include one or more of the following:
Medications can help manage symptoms, control seizures, reduce pain or slow the effects of certain neurological disorders.

Your pediatric neurologist will work with you to determine if medication is right for your child and discuss possible side effects.
Neurological rehabilitation helps restore function and improve quality of life after an illness, injury or condition that affects the nervous system. This includes recovery after stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, or infections that damage the nerves.
