Howard: Custom Orthotics & Quality of Life

IMPROVE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE WITH CUSTOM ORTHOTICS

(continued from outside) 3. Improving physical activity. Orthotic and prosthetic devices can help youmove in ways you may have thought were lost. Your CPO can help you enhance your performance and give you advice the proper forms and techniques of movement with your new device. If you are looking to get back into the activities you love, it is likely that a custom orthosis or prosthesis can help you achieve that. You and your CPO will work together to create a treatment plan that will help you reach your goals, and he or she will assist you in increasing your strength, endurance, and flexibility with your new custom device. 4. Potentially avoiding surgery. In some cases, a custom orthotic may help you avoid an invasive surgical procedure altogether. With surgery, you always run the risk of blood clots, infection, and a lengthy recovery time. Fortunately, it is possible that an orthotic device can correct a problem without the need for surgery at all. Your CPO can also provide you with targeted therapeutic exercises that will help your body speed up its natural healing process. While surgery is sometimes unavoidable, it’s almost always better to eliminate the need for an invasive procedure if the problem can be treated with a custom device.
