National Spina Bifida Association Spina Bifida Association of Houston Gulf Coast

The spina bifida clinic is a multidisciplinary program that includes several specialty services: orthopaedics, neurosurgery, pediatrics, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and urology.

Patients are seen initially by all of the services. Frequency of follow-up is determined on an individual basis, so at a follow-up appointment, patients may be seen by only part of the team. Nutrition, social service and physical therapy are also available. Patients are seen through self- and physician referrals.
