Orthotists

  • Orthotists are brace specialists trained in prescribing and fitting leg and arm braces, cervical and spinal supports and some adaptive aides. They are familiar with the latest materials and innovative styles. The orthotist assists the doctor and physical therapist in determining what braces are appropriate and ensuring its proper fit. Orthotists from Eastside Orthotics and Prosthetics are available, as needed, to evaluate and provide equipment here at our center.
