What can I expect during my first visit?

During your first Occupational Therapy session you can expect a comprehensive assessment based on your concerns/complaints. Your therapist will work with you to identify your goals and develop a personalized treatment plan based on your needs and preferences. Our comprehensive treatment approach may include hands on treatment, home exercises program, custom splinting etc. Your therapist will also discuss potential follow-up appointments with you.

How much does a custom splint cost?

All splints are fabricated by a Registered Occupational Therapist with low temperature thermoplastic materials. These splints are custom made for each client. As such, the price of each splint is different based on the amount of material used and the fabrication time involved. Once your assessment is complete, your occupational therapist will be able to provide an accurate quote based on your needs. For more information or for a preliminary quote based on your needs please email us at info@durhamcustomsplinting.com.
