How do I get a prosthesis?

Getting a prosthesis is a step-by-step journey, and we're here to guide you through every stage. From your initial consultation to the final delivery of your custom prosthesis, we ensure a personalized and supportive experience. We’ve highlighted our 5-step process below to help you understand how we turn your needs into reality.

Step 1:

Consultation

During your initial visit, we will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. The consultation is complimentary and serves as an opportunity for assessment and recommendations. In some cases, we may also be able to perform casting during the same appointment. Please contact us for more details.

Step 2:

Casting

In this step, we take precise measurements of your stump and create a custom mold tailored to your unique shape. Using advanced casting techniques, we ensure the mold fits securely and comfortably, providing a strong foundation for your prosthesis. This personalized approach helps us craft a prosthesis that meets both your functional needs and comfort requirements.

Step 3:

Fitting

Once your custom mold is ready, we create and fit you with a temporary socket. During this fitting, we thoroughly assess how the prosthesis aligns with your body to ensure it supports your daily activities. We make precise adjustments as needed, fine-tuning the fit for optimal comfort, stability, and function before proceeding to the final prosthesis.

Step 4:

Follow-Ups

After fitting your temporary socket, you will wear it for a specified period to evaluate it’s fit and functionality during your daily activities. At your follow-up appointment(s), we will assess the performance of the prosthesis and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal comfort, fit, and function. Our goal is to provide you with a fully customized solution that seamlessly integrates into your life.

Step 5:

Delivery

When your prosthesis is ready, we conduct a final assessment to refine the fit and make any necessary adjustments to ensure comfort and functionality. We also apply any cosmetic details to match your preferences, ensuring your prosthesis looks the way you envision. Our goal is to provide you with a fully customized solution that seamlessly integrates into your life. After delivery, our team will provide ongoing support, making adjustments as needed to help you maintain an active and comfortable lifestyle.

 

We are excited to be on this journey with you.
