FAQs


There are many reasons why people might require assistive devices such as orthotics & prosthetics. The major difference between orthotics and prosthetics is that while an orthotic device is used to enhance a person's limb, a prosthetic device is used to replace a limb entirely.

An orthotist is a healthcare provider who makes and fits braces and splints (orthoses). These are made for people who need added support for certain body parts. These body parts have been weakened by injury, disease, or disorders of the nerves, muscles, or bones. An orthotist works under a doctor's orders

For example, ankle braces that allow a person to stand straight are orthotics. Also, wrist braces, arm braces, spinal orthotics, and heel casts are orthotic devices. They all work to help those who have pain or difficulty with basic movements to be able to perform these activities again.

If flat feet are causing pain, then supportive, well-fitted shoes can help. Fitted insoles and orthotics or custom-designed arch supports may relieve pressure on the arch and reduce pain if the feet roll too far inward. However, these products only treat the symptoms and do not provide long-lasting benefits.
