Casting and Bracing
Casts and braces are traditional and surefire tools aimed to help protect, stabilize and heal injured limbs. A cast is a hard, protective shell of plastic, plaster or fiberglass specially molded to fit an injured limb. A brace, by contrast, is a softer and more flexible orthopedic apparatus that similarly holds, aligns and supports injured body parts.
Under the supervision of seasoned orthopedic physician Dr. Garrett Tallman, the process of casting and bracing is conducted quickly but cautiously, with all care taken to preserve the comfort and promote the healing of the patient.
