HOWARD ORTHOTICS AND PROSTHETICS HONORS OUR VETS THIS NOVEMBER Thank You For Your Service!
HAPPY VETERANS DAY TO ALL RETIRED AND ACTIVE SERVICE MEMBERS!
Despite the many advancements in our society, war continues to be an unfortunate reality. And where there is war, there are brave men and women who answer the call to defend those who cannot defend themselves. Some of those service members pay the ultimate price. Others may lose a limb in combat, a wound they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. As proud VA-contracted healthcare providers, Howard Orthotics and Prosthetics is here to help those soldiers who have undergone an amputation or suffered

a loss of a limb with custom prosthetic devices. Whether it’s your first time getting fitted for a device or you just need a tune-up, our team of Certified Prosthetists/Orthotists (CPOs) will ensure you get the care you need and deserve. How We Help Veterans & Active Service Members Restore Their Independence We know the military: one of our clinics is located in Watertown, New York, home to Fort Drum and the 10th Mountain Army Division, and we have extensive experience working with military personnel from all four branches. No matter your prosthetic needs, we’re here to help! We custom-design and fabricate all of our prosthetic devices in-house, ensuring the comfortable fit and natural appearance that only customization can provide. Our customized devices will blend seamlessly with your body’s natural lines to create a smooth, uninterrupted appearance. But a proper fit is about more than looking good: it’s crucial in helping you relearn the functional skills you need to navigate day-to-day life. A good prosthesis will make restoring balance and coordination that much easier, allowing you greater mobility and independence. You’ll be back to your favorite activities before you know it! We believe our veterans deserve the best. That’s why our team will ensure your prosthetic device perfectly matches your needs, addressing both appearance and function. Let Us Express Our Appreciation: We’re Here If You Need Us But we aren’t just here for those military personnel who require a new prosthetic device. We’ve treated many active-duty and retired vets over the years, and we invite all of you to pay us a visit if you have any new conditions or flare-ups! Prosthetic technology is constantly evolving–and the team at Howard Orthotics and Prosthetics evolves with it. We keep up-to-date on the latest advancements in the field, such as new scanning technology that allows for an even more accurate fit. So if you're an old-timer whose prosthesis is giving you trouble, we might be able to refit your device for maximum comfort. Beyond that, though, regular follow-ups with our experts can help catch any issues with either the device itself or the way it fits before they become major issues. As you get older, your body changes. If you’re noticing any aches, pains, or mobility difficulties surrounding your prosthetic device, a follow-up could be just what you need. This Veteran’s Day, we want to show our appreciation to our service members, and we plan to do that the best way we know how: by helping you with all your prosthetic needs, from first fit to troubleshooting a new condition.

PATIENT SUCCESS STORY
Success Story —Jared M. “After a partial finger amputation, the occupational health clinic on base referred me out to Howard Orthotics and Prosthetics to get some articulated replacement fingertips. I could not be happier with the results. Roger and Sara were so helpful and friendly and it was evident that they truly hold a passion for the work they do. They are both great to deal with and experts at their jobs. The business is fully equipped with the latest medical and physical therapy equipment while being cozier than any other clinic I've ever been.”
Our Staff Salutes You! At Howard Orthotics and Prosthetics, we believe our country’s service men and women deserve to come home to an independent, active lifestyle–no matter what injuries they might have sustained in combat.

This Veteran’s Day, we salute our retired and active-duty military personnel. As a thank you for your service, our CPOs would like to let you know that they’re here to help in any way they can.
