Orthotics are external devices such as splints or braces that help patients control, guide or immobilize an extremity or joint, reduce weight-bearing forces, aid in the rehabilitation of a fracture following removal of a cast, and/or correct the function of a body part to alleviate pain. Orthopaedics East carries a variety of orthotics. Your orthopedic physician and care team may recommend an orthotic device for your treatment.

Durable medical equipment (DME) is devices for extended use to aid in your treatment, recovery or rehabilitation. This may include, but is not limited to, such devices as walkers, walking boots, wraps, braces or post-surgical therapeutic devices. If DME is recommended by your Orthopaedics East & Sports Medicine Care Team, we offer in-house access to such devices for our patients or coordinate access with local partners.
