Choosing the best professional to meet your needs is more important than your choice of brace. Take the time to make sure your provider has the necessary skill and experience, and find out what can and cannot be achieved. If you are unsure, you can always get a second opinion.

Here are some questions you might like to ask:

• What are the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of treatment?

• What will happen if I decide not to have treatment?

• Do you recommend a range of choices for treatment?

• What kind of treatment do you recommend?

• Is there an alternative treatment?

• How many cases have you treated?
