Orthotics & Prosthetics

Our Orthotics and Prosthetics department fabricate and fit state-of-the-art orthotic and prosthetic devices for all ages, both pediatrics and geriatrics.

In addition to using the highest quality materials available, HPRC's staff uses cutting edge technology. With these resources, they are able to create products that improve patients' quality of life. According to the American Orthotic & Prosthetic Association, patients equipped with more technologically advance prosthetic devices have a better quality of life relative to those outfitted with less advanced devices. These advanced devices result in, not only fewer falls, but also fewer emergency room visits. In addition, patients using these devices face compartively less coexisting conditions or disorders than those with less advanced devices.

Our practitioners have received certification from the American Board for Certification in Prosthetics and Orthotics (ABC). HPRC's clinic has also received accreditation from ABC and also has an NCOPE (National Commission on Orthotic and Prosthetic Education) accredited residency program.

At HPRC you'll receive outstanding care and a superior product that enables you to live your best life. The clinicians' most important goal is to help you continue living a life that is not limited by your prosthetic or orthotic device.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A physical therapy visit lasts about 40-60 minutes. The actual contents of the visit vary based on your diagnosis/need, but typically what happens is:

    1. You check in with the receptionist, make any appointments necessary, and we discuss your health insurance benefits with you.
    2. You go into the gym. You can change clothes if you need to, then begin therapy.
    3. You perform 6-8 various exercises and stretches. These can include therapeutic band exercises, light body weight exercises, or minimal weights. The stretches will promote strength, stability, improved range of motion, and pain relief.
    4. We can initiate other techniques to include manual work, taping, cupping, and dry needling as needed.
    5. The therapist makes recommendations based on your progress. These can include altering the frequency of visits, making additions/alterations to your home exercise plan, or things to do before your next visit.
  • We recommend budgeting 40-60 minutes for a typical therapy session. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 10-15 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.

  • If we are asking you to do something that is hurting too much, let us know! Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.

  • During your initial evaluation, your therapist may ask you a number of questions to determine what the cause of your pain is. This can include questions about your sleep habits, activity level, and work environment. They will also ask for a medical history, and then typically ask direct questions about where and when you experience pain.
