Injuries to the arms, legs, or joints can be painful and make movement difficult. Splinting provides immediate support, reduces pain, and helps prevent further damage while your body heals.
At Wallenpaupack Medical, Kelly Gorman offers splinting with a focus on comfort, safety, and proper stabilization.
What Is Splinting?
Splinting involves immobilizing an injured area with a supportive device to allow healing. Unlike casts, splints are adjustable and often used for:
- Sprains and strains
- Minor fractures
- Joint injuries
- Post-injury swelling
What to Expect During Treatment
Kelly will examine the injury and apply a splint designed to protect the area while allowing for necessary swelling. You’ll also receive guidance on when to follow up for additional treatment or receive a referral for specialized follow-up care if needed.
Benefits of Splinting
- Immediate stabilization of the injury
- Helps reduce pain and swelling
- Prevents further injury
- Can be adjusted as healing progresses
