Bracing/Orthotics & Electric Stim
Bracing/Orthotics
We can fit you in our office with a variety of medical grade braces such as lumbar supports, knee braces, wrist support, ankle braces etc. Many are covered by insurance but at times they are not. Other time your condition does not meet the requirement of your insurance company for them to cover the cost. In those cases we can provide you the back brace as an out of pocket expense after appropriate consultation. For those patients participating in a "Direct Specialist Care" subscription plan, braces and orthotics will be provided at $15 over our cost.
At our office we use braces mainly from Quienn medical, Aspen Braces, Bauerfeind and Vive Health. Here re the links to these companies:

Electric Stim.
If you have an injury, Dr. Dieguez may order physical therapy to help you on the road to recovery. Along with other forms of treatment, you may receive electrical stimulation as part of your therapy.
Electrical stimulation is a type of treatment used to accomplish various tasks. The idea is that applying an electrical current help strengthen muscles, block pain signals, and improve blood circulation and stimulate cell growth after some regenerative procedures.
For those patients participating in a "Direct Specialist Care" subscription plan, Electrical Stimulation will be provided at no additional cost.
