Orthotics
An orthotic is a custom or prefabricated medical device designed to support, align, or improve the function of a limb or musculoskeletal structure. It can help manage conditions affecting the feet, ankles, knees, or spine by providing stability, pain relief, and improved mobility.
A consultation is typically required to assess the patient's needs and follow the appropriate protocol for selection, customization, and fitting.
Types
Spine
A spine orthotic is a medical device designed to support, stabilize, or correct alignment of the spine, helping to manage conditions such as scoliosis, fractures, or post-surgical recovery. It can reduce pain, improve posture, and limit movement to aid healing.
Lower Limb
A lower limb orthotic is a medical device designed to support, align, or improve the function of the leg, ankle, or foot. It helps manage conditions such as muscle weakness, joint instability, or post-injury recovery by providing stability, correcting alignment, and enhancing mobility.
Upper Limb
An upper limb orthotic is a medical device designed to support, stabilize, or improve the function of the shoulder, arm, wrist, or hand. It is used to manage conditions such as muscle weakness, joint instability, nerve injuries, or post-surgical recovery by providing support, alignment, and enhanced mobility.
Foot
A foot orthotic is a medical device designed to support, align, or relieve pressure on the foot, helping to manage conditions such as flat feet, plantar fasciitis, or gait abnormalities. It can be custom-made or prefabricated to provide comfort, improve posture, and enhance mobility.
