As a trusted Tampa home medical equipment store for more than a decade, we often see people who have just undergone tough medical situations. A new diagnosis, recent accident, or even complication or setback can lead to new medical equipment needs. And we are proud to be here for Tampa residents when they most need medical supplies and knowledgeable, face-to-face support.
But that’s not all we do. Our store also serves ongoing needs for single-use and durable medical equipment. And we even carry home medical equipment for people of all ages who are continuing to live their most active lives and/or are still working full time. One class of equipment in this category is orthopedics.
Orthopedic devices are designed to prevent injuries and alleviate chronic joint pain from sports and repetitive strain injuries (RSI). They can make a world of difference in keeping you up and running—or walking, playing, swinging, babysitting, shopping, typing, and more.
Who Needs Orthopedic Devices?
“Orthopedics” covers a big category of home medical equipment. But roughly speaking, these devices can be huge aids for people who are recovering from mild injuries, RSIs, chronic joint pain, and other everyday medical issues. You should shop Helios’ Tampa orthopedic device selection if you need support for:
- Wrist or ankle sprains
- Knee issues
- Back issues or weakness
- Carpal tunnel
- Thumb injuries
- Tennis elbow
- Back pain during pregnancy
Why Should You Wear Orthopedic Devices?
Orthopedics serve two primary uses: To facilitate recovery from an injury, and to prevent new or further injury. These purposes often come in the form of stabilizing injured joints (wrists, ankles, and knees), and supporting weak or vulnerable musculoskeletal areas during physical activity (especially your back).
What’s especially important to remember is that orthopedic devices are available—and affordable—without a prescription. Many people feel that these minor injuries and chronic pain don’t warrant a trip to the doctor. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t support your recovery with the right home medical equipment.
“Over-the-counter” orthopedic devices, especially when they’re properly selected and fitted with the help of a medical supply expert, can keep minor issues from become major injuries.
