Our services include comprehensive orthotic, prosthetic, and diabetic shoe program. Our office is certified by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics (ABC).
Our facility includes an in-house fabricaion lab which allows us to "build" your orthosis or prosthesis on site. This helps maintain quality control of the products we make.
We are one of the few offices in the area to offer a Diabetic Shoe Program for eligible participants.

ORTHOTICS: Once we receive your order or referral for your orthotic device, our staff will set-up the appropriate appointment with you whether it is for immediate delivery of a pre-fabricated brace or splint or for individual casting of the body part for a custom-made device. Once the initial appointment is made, the staff will then explain the procedures to follow. Usually, a custom made device for an ankle, foot, knee or even back support can be made within days.
PROSTHETICS: Once we receive your order or referral for your prosthesis, our staff will schedule an appointment for you to be seen by our prosthetist. This appointment is a thorough evaluation of your particular situation and need of a prosthetic device. The evaluation consists of a review of your medical and health condition, your particular functional ability, your goal for prosthetic use, and discussion of the process of being fit with a prosthesis. Once it is determined that you are ready for the process, a mold will be taken of your limb and the first prosthetic component, the "test socket", will be constructed. The test socket is simply a hard plastic shell that your remaining limb will fit into. This socket is called a test socket as it is just that; a test to determine if the fit is comfortable, supportive, and correct. Once it is determined that the test socket is correct, the next step is to connect the components(foot, knee for a lower extremity or a hand, elbow for an upper extremity) to the socket to complete the prosthetic limb. This completed limb is then ready for dynamic alignment. This is an important step of the process to determine if the components have been attached or "aligned" in the correct position to allow for as normal or as functional of a use of the prosthesis as possible without creating any problems with the remaining body part or the person overall. Once dynamic alignment is maximized at this stage, which may take some time and may need some adjustment as time passes, the "test-socket" phase is then over. The prosthesis is then ready for lamination, which is the process of fabricating the prosthesis into a final product that the person may then use independently or be trained with by appropriate professionals; a physical therapist or an occupational therapist who is specially skilled in the rehabilitation of patients with amputation and prosthetic limbs.
