Orthotics & Splinting

Orthotics & Splinting


Orthotics can make a profound difference in mobility, comfort, and recovery. At Physical Therapy Specialists, we provide custom-fabricated orthotics and splints for both the upper and lower extremities to support healing, reduce pain, and restore function. Unlike prefabricated devices, our orthotics are carefully designed and fitted by experienced therapists to meet each patient’s unique needs.

Hand & Upper Extremity Splinting

Our certified hand and occupational therapists specialize in creating custom splints that protect healing tissues, improve alignment, and restore mobility. Whether you are recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, or dealing with a repetitive strain injury, we provide splints that maximize function while supporting daily activities.

Common uses for hand/upper extremity splints:

  • Post-operative tendon and fracture protection
  • Arthritis and joint protection
  • Carpal tunnel and nerve-related conditions
  • Custom positioning for contracture management
  • Functional splints to support grip and hand use

Foot & Ankle Orthotics

Foot and ankle mechanics have a direct effect on balance, gait, and overall movement. Our therapists design custom orthotics to improve alignment, relieve pressure, and optimize biomechanics from the ground up. By correcting imbalances and reducing strain, orthotics can help patients return to pain-free activity with greater stability and confidence.
  • Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
  • Flat feet or high arches
  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Postural alignment issues
  • Sports injury recovery and prevention

Why Choose Us for Orthotics

What sets us apart is our functional biomechanics expertise—we don’t just fit an orthotic, we ensure it integrates seamlessly with your movement patterns. Combined with our manual therapy and one-on-one care, orthotics become part of a complete plan to restore mobility, reduce pain, and support long-term health.
