Splinting - Casting
Immobilizations are essential to treat injured extremities to allow fast healing and rehabilitation. During the consult, we perform all kinds of immobilizations, either partial with splints or permanent with casts. Injury healing begins immediately without additional appointments or delays at doctors' offices.
Patients with fractures, sprains, joint inflammation, and tendinitis get immediate pain relief with adequate immobilization. In most cases, this is the only required treatment.
Every well-immobilized patient can then be adequately transported to continue their treatment without pain and without the risk of worsening the injury. Casts are considered one of the treatments for fractures and other traumatic injuries that do not need surgery.
Bracing – Immobilizing
Braces and other orthopedic aids help to align the joints and maintain a certain degree of mobility, thus aiding in quick rehabilitation.
We also provide Durable Medical Equipment (DME). The devices
are used to immobilize patients' shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, knees, ankles, and feet.
With orthopedic aids, the patient regains their independence for self-care and mobility.
Durable Medical Equipment includes:
-
Control Ankle Movement CAM boots
-
Post-operatory shoes
-
Crutches
-
Shoulder immobilizers
-
Slings
