Orthotics
Orthotics:
Orthotics is the branch of medicine that deals with the design, manufacture, and fitting of devices that support, align, or correct the function of the musculoskeletal system. Orthotics can be used to treat a wide range of conditions affecting the muscles, bones, and joints, such as sprains, strains, fractures, and degenerative diseases like arthritis.
Orthotics are designed to provide support and stability to weak or damaged muscles and joints, helping to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. They can also help to improve posture, balance, and mobility, allowing individuals to perform daily activities with greater ease and independence.
Orthotics are commonly used to treat a range of conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
