Orthotic interventions
Orthotic interventions involve custom-made or off-the-shelf devices, called orthoses, designed to support, align, prevent, or correct musculoskeletal issues. They are often used to improve function, reduce pain, or prevent injury by providing stability to joints, correcting foot biomechanics, or supporting weakened areas. Examples include braces, shoe inserts, or splints. Orthotic use is tailored to each individual’s needs and goals, often prescribed by healthcare professionals like podiatrists, orthotists, or physical therapists, to enhance mobility, comfort, and overall musculoskeletal health.
