Types of Orthotics We Provide
Immobilization Orthotics
Immobilizing orthotics are designed to restrict movement in a specific joint or body part, providing stability and protection during the healing process. These devices are commonly used for fractures, post-surgical recovery, or severe sprains.
Dynamic Orthotics
Dynamic orthotics are designed to allow controlled movement while providing support. These devices are often used in rehabilitation to promote mobility and function while protecting the injured area.
Functional Orthotics
Functional orthotics are designed to improve the alignment and function of the foot and ankle during daily activities. These devices are often used to address issues such as flat feet, plantar fasciitis, or other biomechanical problems.
Static Progressive Orthotics
Static progressive orthotics are designed to gradually increase range of motion in a joint through a series of adjustments. These devices are particularly beneficial for patients recovering from surgery or those with limited mobility due to conditions like contractures.
