Custom Splinting

Try Telemedicine NOW
Home » Custom Splinting

Custom splints are a type of splint that is customized to each individual patient. Typically, custom splints are fitted and designed by a hand therapist. To make a custom splint the hand therapist heats a thermoplastic material in warm water and then molds it to the shape needed for the individual, cutting off any excess as needed. After the thermoplastic cools it hardens to create a customized splint. These splints are typically used to provide stability and strength to the affected area while the patient is resting or preforming certain motions.

One of the biggest benefits seen form customized splints is their versatility. As the patient swells, heals, and changes their level of activity the splint can be adjusted accordingly by the hand therapist. This leads to more comfort and mobility for the patient which improves the likelihood of them complying to wear the splint as often as they should. Injuries that may require a custom splint include fractures, ligament or muscle injuries, and nerve injuries. Custom splints are often recommended after surgery to protect the affected area as it heals and prevent overuse. Custom splints may also be a good fit if you’re suffering an overuse injury such as carpal tunnel or tendonitis. With the help of the splint you won’t continue to overuse the area, allowing it to heal properly.

After your physician orders a custom splint you’ll have an appointment with a hand therapist. At the first appointment your hand therapist will review why you need the splint according to you and your doctor and then evaluate your injury to determine what type of splint is right for you. You should leave your first appointment with your custom splint completed. Since they have to measure, cut, design, and fit your splint at that appointment be prepared for a long visit! You’ll likely come back on a regular schedule to see the hand therapist and practice exercises that promote the long-term healing of the affected area.

Our rehabilitation facility has a team of experienced hand therapists who can get you fitted for the best custom splint for your injury. The hand therapist will discuss exercises to begin strengthening the affected area and begin working on pain management, range of motion, and much more. Once you’ve been fitted for a splint, your hand therapist will work with you to come up with a treatment plan that’s right for you to promote a speedy recovery!

The best Therapy center in Miami! The staff is amazing and are extremely nice. The customer service is 10/10. Arley the... PTA is the great and his attention to the patients is like no other. Laura the front desk is so kind and is very attentive to the patients. No matter what you need she will help with any request. All the other staff including the other therapist are incredible. I 100% recommend this office. Do not waste your time finding another office!read more

This has been one of the worst experience I ever had with any service provider of any kind. People at this office hate... their job, starting with the main therapist that works in the morning. In several occasions I heard him cursing the fact he had to be there working in the morning. Then he would punish his patients by letting them sitting around waiting while he watched videos on his computer. I am returning from a new therapy office I had to go to complete my therapy and I just realized how poor of a service I was receiving at ortho now Doral. Do yourself a favor by spending a bit more time on research before choosing this place.read more

After two hand surgeries, OrthoNow is a Godsend. I had very limited movement in 2 fingers on my right hand. The “Double... A’s” (Angela and Amanda) have really been a light in this process. The care and concern that I’ve received has been great. It feels like a family. From the first appointment, Kristen has welcomed not only me but every patient that walks into the office by name. It means a lot that they show they care and you’re not just another person. Laura is the best and if you’re nice and tell her you know me, you just may end up with some of the best coffee on this side of the Palmetto! OrthoNow has really helped me on my road to recovery and restoring movement and flexibility to my hand. I’m happy to be family member now.read more

I am writing this review based on my last visit to the Orthonow office in Doral. I have visited this location numerous... times in the past, seeking medical attention and was always greeted with the upmost professionalism. This time the Physician Assistant on shift did not agree that I should be treated at all and directed me to contact another physician. At that moment I was in severe pain but understood that he had the right to refuse treatment. It would have been nice though if he had at least given me something for the pain. He did not agree with the treatment that I requested even though I received the same treatment at that location three times before. He instructed the person at the front desk to refund my copay and let me go.read more
