Prosthetics
Every patient is different, and their needs reflect that. We don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach with our care. Our practitioners evaluate each patient when they come in and work with them, their caregivers, and other allied health partners to create a plan for the patient to regain mobility. We use the latest technology available such as Microprocessor knees and ankles and Myo-electric upper extremity prostheses to give our patients the best care possible.
