The Orthotic Treatment Process: From Assessment to Fitting
Introduction:
When you need a custom orthosis, Cardinal Orthotics is here to guide you through every step of the treatment process. Our goal is to provide comprehensive assessment, personalized orthotic treatment, and ongoing support in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. In this article, we’ll walk you through what to expect when you begin your orthotic journey with us.
Assessment:
Your orthotic treatment journey begins with a thorough assessment of your needs. This may involve capturing the shape of your body using casting with plaster bandage or fiberglass tape. Alternatively, we may utilize advanced 3D scanning technology to capture precise measurements. Not only does this method reduce material wastage and messiness, but it also provides baseline data for monitoring changes throughout your treatment.
Orthosis Customization and Fabrication:
Once your body shape is captured, our Certified Orthotist will modify the cast or 3D scan based on biomechanical principles to create a custom orthosis tailored to your unique needs. Our on-site orthotics laboratory ensures quality control as your orthosis is fabricated to exact specifications.
Fitting and Adjustments
After fabrication, your orthosis is fitted by our Certified Orthotist. We provide technical expertise to make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and functionality. With adjustments made while you wait, we strive to provide a seamless and efficient fitting process.
Conclusion:
At Cardinal Orthotics, we prioritize your comfort, mobility, and overall well-being throughout your orthotic treatment journey. From initial assessment to final fitting, our team is dedicated to providing personalized care and support every step of the way. If you require a custom orthosis, don’t hesitate to reach out to us for compassionate and expert guidance. Your journey to improved mobility and quality of life starts here.
