• Pediatric Care
  Powell Pediatrics can’t stress the importance of a mouth guard for sports. This is National Facial Protection Month. This means it is time to take stock of the playing field.
• Emergency Care
  Make sure you and your family have helmets, pads AND mouth guards. When you do you’ll have less chance of spending your Saturday in the emergency room.
• Flu Shots
  According to your Knoxville pediatrician, your kids will not get the flu. In fact, flu shots prevent the flu.
• Immunizations
  It may be nearly spring, but flu is still around and this year it is worse than ever. Because there are so many super strains, flu vaccination is vital.

• Autism
  Autism is one of a group of serious developmental problems called autism spectrum disorders (ASD) that appear in early childhood — usually before age 3. Though symptoms and severity vary, all autism disorders affect a child’s ability to communicate and interact with others.

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  If your kids are prone to accidents it’s important that you schedule an appointment with a pediatrician in Knoxville. A doctor will be able to tell if your child is suffering from ADHD.

Physical Therapists

• Sports Medicine
  Once your kids reach adolescence it is imperative that they see a pediatrician on a regular basis. Sports physicals are necessary if your children want to participate in athletics. When your kids start school, you may notice behavioral issues, and if your children have been spending more time in the principal’s office than in class, you could be dealing with ADD, ADHD, or ODD. Your Pediatrician in Knoxville will be able to give you a behavioral evaluation for your children, which will help deal with problems and school, and at home.
