Treatment Options
Our targeted therapies tackle custom orthotics and bracing with accuracy and skill. At Summit Orthopaedics, we provide individualized approaches that enhance mobility and elevate quality of life.
Accurate Diagnosis
Every plan begins with a thorough exam and the right imaging (X-ray, MRI, etc.). When needed, we also perform tests like EMG to evaluate nerve function.
Conservative Care
Most patients start with non-surgical treatments such as activity modification, bracing, physical therapy, and image-guided injections to reduce pain and improve mobility.
Advanced Interventions
If symptoms persist, we offer minimally invasive procedures and surgical options — including ACL and shoulder repairs, spine surgery (cervical or lumbar), and joint preservation or replacement.
Special Programs & Technology
For qualifying patients, we use advanced options like motion-preserving implants (e.g., Mobi-C cervical disc) and robotic-assisted surgery for greater precision and faster recovery.

FAQs
Common questions about our orthopedic services and patient care approach.
Over-the-counter inserts provide general cushioning, but custom orthotics are designed specifically for your foot structure, gait, and medical needs. They’re crafted to correct alignment, relieve pressure points, and support your unique biomechanics.
If you experience chronic joint, muscle, or foot pain, instability during movement, or recurring injuries, you may benefit from a brace or orthotic evaluation. Our specialists assess your movement, posture, and anatomy to recommend the best solution for your condition.
These devices can help manage arthritis, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, tendon and ligament injuries, and post-surgical recovery. They’re also effective for preventing re-injury or providing stability in patients with chronic instability or overuse conditions.
No. While braces are often prescribed post-surgery, they’re also used preventively. Athletes and individuals with chronic instability often use bracing to protect joints during activity and reduce the risk of injury.
With proper care, most custom orthotics last 2–5 years, while braces may last 6–18 months, depending on usage and activity level. Regular check-ins ensure they continue to fit correctly and function properly.
That depends on your diagnosis and goals. Some patients use them only during activity or recovery, while others benefit from daily wear. Your provider will create a usage plan based on your treatment progress.
Yes. As your condition improves or your activity level changes, adjustments may be made for comfort and effectiveness. Our team provides periodic evaluations to ensure continued support and proper function.
