When your child is in pain, all you care about is helping them feel better. And if that pain is in the joints, muscles and bones (musculoskeletal system), your child may need specialized care from a Mercy pediatric rheumatologist.

Mercy Kids' pediatric rheumatologists treat arthritis and other musculoskeletal problems with expertise and compassion. Our specialists understand that children may not be able to describe their “aches and pains” as an adult would, and we know how to talk to kids to accurately evaluate their symptoms and get to the root of the problem.

Our team approach may include Mercy physical therapists, occupational therapists, pain management experts and other professionals to ensure every need is met.

Mercy Kids knows that pain is tough on kids – especially when they don’t know why they’re hurting. Trust our pediatric specialists to care for your child the way you do.
