Custom Hand and Arm Splints
How a custom fitted splint can help you
Do you want to be more active? Do you have pain when moving? Whether it is your hand or arm, pain can stop you from enjoying life. Often, joints become unstable over time with arthritis, injuries or surgeries. This can lead to more bone rubbing on bone, thus causing pain. A custom fitted splint can make a world of difference in enjoying daily activities. Whether you just want to walk without pain, or engage in aggressive sports activities, a custom-fitted splint can give you the support you need.
Splints come in all shapes and sizes, fitting a variety of joints, including the spine. However, it is important to understand that generic splints are nowhere near as effective as a custom- fitted splints. A custom-fitted splint is fitted exactly to your body shape and size. As we are all made differently and our needs are different, having a specialist evaluate and fit a custom brace will give your joints the exact support they need.
Custom-fitted splints are used for:
- Relieving knee pain and providing support with walking or sports
- Providing ankle support, which is especially important after injury
- Low back pain to allow freedom of movement while providing support
- Elbow and wrist pain with lifting activities or sports
Not all splints are the same, and having an expert guide you to the correct splint is essential. Thus how well a splint is designed and fitted will provide the needed support to your joints. Costs don’t have to be high for a custom fitted splint. Many off the shelf braces, just need the expert fitting to your body to allow maximum results. Our experts at MoveMend can recommend and properly fit a brace that will work for you and your budget.
Why should you update a brace?
Braces will wear out with time, so it is important to have check ups to make sure the brace fits properly, may need adjusting or may need to be replaced. In addition, brace technology changes rapidly and new models offer more freedom of movement and support. Often, insurance companies will cover for updates to braces and orthotics after a period of time. The end result is a brace that correctly fits you and supports you, allowing you to enjoy the activities you want without pain.
