Services
Custom Foot Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics are crafted using plaster casts or 3D digital scans to address specific conditions like diabetes, ulcers, or biomechanical imbalances. These devices redistribute pressure, improve alignment, and enhance mobility for patients requiring long-term support or post-injury recovery.
Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs)
Custom AFOs are fabricated from fiberglass casts to stabilize ankle joints for conditions like drop foot, cerebral palsy, or post-stroke mobility issues. Options include rigid, articulated, or energy-storing designs to balance support with natural movement for improved gait and stability.
Knee Braces
Custom knee braces address osteoarthritis, ligament damage, or post-surgical needs using 3D scans or casts. Solutions range from unloader braces for compartmental arthritis to post-op immobilizers, combining comfort with structural support to reduce pain and enhance joint function.
Upper Extremity Devices
Custom upper extremity orthoses treat wrist, hand, or elbow conditions from neurological injuries or arthritis. Devices like WHO (Wrist Hand Orthoses) and elbow orthoses are molded to individual anatomy, providing stability for long-term use or recovery from fractures and nerve damage.
Spinal Orthoses
Custom spinal braces, including clamshell TLSOs, stabilize fractures or manage chronic back pain from osteoarthritis. Prefabricated options like cervical collars or LSOs offer adjustable support for postural correction or recovery from spinal injuries while maintaining patient comfort.
