Re: Orthotist vs. Orthopedist

[Guest guest]

Jodene,

An orthopedist is a medical doctor. An orthotist does not have a medical

degree. The orthopedist will probably make the diagnosis and write the

perscription for the helmet/band. The orthotist will make the device and make

the adjustments.

I hope this helps clear some things up!!

No problem - education is the key to understanding and acceptance. The more

we know the more we can help our children!!

Ask away - that is what we are here for! :-)
