Prosthetic and Orthotic Intervention: Ongoing Care, Not Just Product Delivery.

As more small P&O practices get folded into large device
conglomerates, the market focus shifts from ongoing care to
device sales. This can leave many patients feeling like their
concerns are being met with a “one-size-fits-all” mentality. The
truth is that prosthetics and orthotics as a field is far more than
just the delivery of “products” you pick up and take home, like
buying a new pair of shoes. In reality, prosthetic and orthotic
care is an ongoing medical process, not a one-time transaction.
We see ourselves as partners in your long-term health, not just
someone who fits a device.
When you receive a prosthesis or orthosis, that’s just the beginning. Your body changes over
time—muscles adapt, weight shifts, and your activity level may increase or decrease. These
changes often require adjustments, refitting, or even replacement components to ensure your
device continues to support you properly. Regular follow-ups are a key part of this process.
We also monitor skin health, alignment, and gait patterns, helping to prevent complications
before they start. Think of it like dental care—you wouldn’t get a filling and never visit your
dentist again. The same principle applies here.
We believe that this ongoing relationship is what truly makes prosthetic and orthotic intervention successful. It’s about helping you move better, feel better, and stay as independent and active as possible. Not just selling you a prosthesis or a brace and shipping you out the door.
If it’s been a while since your last visit, or if you’re experiencing discomfort, it may be time to
check in. We’re here to support you every step of the way. Because to us, P&O is all about your quality of life. And that deserves ongoing care.
