Dear Mr.Stewart,
In my opinion the first specialist who can prescribe it properly is the orthopaedic surgeon. Orthotics precisely related with spine and affected neurology are the common domain of neurosurgeon and orthopedic surgeon. However, consultants in physical medicine and general surgeons practicing with the ailments of locomotor systems come the second. Next follow the Paediatric surgeons and physicians. Physiotherapists are the allied professionals and get referral for physio only similarly as Orthotists and prosthetists get it for them to do the job. Dr.K.N.Niazi.
