Motility Program
A motility disorder, or dysmotility, occurs when the muscles and/or nerves in the gastrointestinal tract do not work properly. Symptoms of these types of disorder could include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and constipation.
The Motility Program at Akron Children’s is one of the few pediatric hospitals to offer a full range of state-of-the-art testing and treatment options.
The goal of the Motility Program is to provide a multidisciplinary approach to caring for your child. Our team of pediatric experts includes
- Neurogastroenterology
- Surgery
- Psychology
- Pediatric interventional radiology
This team will work to diagnose common motility conditions as well as more complex disorders in infants, children, and teens.
