Summit providers work closely together with bracing specialists to communicate strategies to optimize patient outcomes. Our bracing staff combined has well over 50 years plus experience in the field covering all ranges of orthotic specialties.
If a custom brace is not required, we keep successfully proven braces in our inventory to cover a majority of patient’s needs. However, we recognized that these will not work for everybody all the time. Our staff routinely stay on top of the latest in bracing trends and options available. As a result staff can recommend and order braces that have enhanced fit and function for the individual.
