Orthotic devices (orthoses) are designed to brace, support, protect, or correct various parts of the body. We offer a wide range of options for the head, neck, spine, and upper and lower extremities to meet each patient’s unique needs for support and stabilization. Depending on a patient’s anatomy and the severity of the condition being treated, we may customize a pre-fabricated device or build a device specific to the patient.
We treat patients with diverse needs, and work diligently to find the best solution for each person. Arthritis, complications from diabetes, nerve injuries, back injuries, sports injuries, stroke recovery, traumatic brain injuries, developmental deformities, and foot and ankle deformities are just a few of the many conditions we work with on a daily basis. We believe that a team approach leads to successful patient outcomes and will work closely with you, your physician, and therapist to ensure your device is most appropriate for your goals.
