prosthetics
lower extremity
prosthetics
No matter the reason for limb absence, prosthetic treatment can help to support you to reach your goals and live life to the fullest with increased independence and activity. A thorough assessment, customized treatment approach, and regular follow-up allow for good fit and function for a prosthetic leg.
upper extremity
prosthetics
The unique challenges faced with replicating the many movements of the human arm require thoughtful problem-solving and a creative approach. Having someone who listens and works alongside you to determine solutions for you and your lifestyle is essential when developing a prosthetic treatment plan for upper extremities.
orthotics
cranial remoulding
Cranial remoulding helmets help babies minimize head shape differences. The helmets will not affect the babies’ normal development but will help redirect growth to a well-balanced head shape. These corrective helmets are worn full-time and are designed for babies less than one year of age.
custom foot orthoses
Proper support of the feet can greatly reduce pain and improve balance. All custom foot orthoses are made on-site to correct and assist foot problems.
custom orthoses bracing
Orthoses are not only for feet. We design bracing treatments that can support legs, arms, necks or your back. These braces help improve function, reduce pain and help patients achieve their functional goals.
functional electrical stimulation
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) can help you use your own nerve(s) to stimulate your muscles and enhance your mobility. These systems can improve range of motion and can be used with regular footwear, and may replace the need for a plastic leg brace.
scoliosis management
Our custom 3D asymmetrical scoliosis braces are designed to halt the progression of a scoliosis curve and promote growth into a corrected position.
