Orthotics can be designed for upper or lower limbs, depending on your injury, chronic condition, or deformity. You might need an upper limb orthotic if any of the following conditions apply to you.

The team at Ortho Engineering Inc. can design your orthotics based on your needs, daily lifestyle, and activity level.
It’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions regarding how often and how long you need to wear your orthotic device. In many cases, you can remove your orthotic to shower, perform personalized physical or occupational exercises, or to be able to directly apply ice or heat.
Your doctor may suggest wearing your orthotic primarily during periods of activity. For example, if you have severe carpal tunnel pain, Ortho Engineering Inc. can design a hand and wrist orthotic support that you need to wear while typing or playing sports.
Once you’re fully recovered, you might not need to wear your orthotic any longer. In some cases, though, like with chronic foot pain from plantar fasciitis, you might need to continue wearing your Ortho Engineering Inc. orthotic insert daily for life.
