How Our Individualized Approach Can Improve Your Quality of Life Our team is here to help whether you need a temporary brace or a full artificial limb. In both cases, we provide fully customized equipment that ensures maximum comfort and effectiveness. Orthotics include devices such as braces, supports, or splints. These devices keep an injured limb immobile as you recover from injury or surgery. For people with chronic conditions, such as arthritis, they can also help minimize pain. While you can buy off-the-shelf orthoses, a custom device will work better with your body and unique movement patterns, helping you to regain function and mobility as quickly as possible. Prosthetics refers to any replacement body part — a tooth, knee joint, or an entire limb. A good prosthetic can be absolutely life-changing, which is why we work closely with all of our patients to create an individually designed device that meets your specific needs. We always start by asking what it is you want to do. Your personal goals will serve as the foundation for our prosthetic designs, and we always utilize the latest technology to ensure you’re getting the best prosthetic possible. If you’re setting some lofty resolutions for 2024 — maybe you want to hike a particularly challenging trail or take up a brand new sport — you may benefit from an upgraded prosthetic. In fact, we’re excited to bring in some new technology this year for our patients! TWO NEW PROSTHETIC OPTIONS FOR THE NEW YEAR Power Knee
