Cast Treatment

Cast treatment is a medical procedure used to immobilize a broken bone or injured area by encasing it in a rigid material, usually plaster or fiberglass. The cast holds the bones in place to ensure proper alignment while they heal, preventing movement that could worsen the injury. Typically, the cast is applied after a doctor has set the bone, and it is worn for several weeks, depending on the severity of the injury. Regular check-ups are important to monitor healing. Once healed, the cast is removed, and physical therapy may be recommended to regain strength and mobility.
