Orthopedic Devices

Orthopedic Devices have become integral components of treatment plans for numerous orthopedic injuries and neurological conditions.  There are multiple types and options for veterinary patients.  We work closely with certified orthotists and prosthetists to ensure our patients have the correct orthopedic device that fits well and enables them to achieve their highest musculoskeletal potential and function.

Dr. Britt Carr Benson has years of experience in prescribing and fitting orthopedic devices for patients and has been on the forefront of research being conducted on various orthopedic devices.
