Services Provided by the Best Prosthetic Companies Port St. Lucie
May 4, 2020Nicole RizzoGeneral News

According to the World Health Organization, more than 30 million people in the world have an amputated limb that would benefit from a prosthetic. Not everyone has access to these wondrous medical devices though, and those that do are fortunate. If you’re just beginning to consider the transition to life with a prosthetic, here are a few services that the best prosthetic companies Port St. Lucie provide. 

Types of devices available at prosthetic companies Port St. Lucie 

The best prosthetic companies Port St. Lucie will provide, and be able to fabricate, a wide range of devices.  Lower extremity devices could include cosmetic or functional types or devices that are both cosmetic and functional. Upper extremity options might include functional hands, hooks, and cosmetic or functional arms. 

Post-operative care services available

It’s important to find a prosthetic company that will be committed to counseling to a patient before the amputation takes place, if possible, and immediately after. They will be able to help with immediate post-operative prostheses, stump shrinkers, and advice on stump care. Learning to live with a prosthetic is a process that begins immediately after surgery with both physical and psychological components.   

Custom-fit at prosthetic companies Port St. Lucie

The very best prosthetic companies are those that have in-house fabrication labs. With in-house labs, you can have a prosthetic made for you that is completely custom to your needs. It might even be a device that looks like few others and that’s made with your input and personal stamp.   

Aftercare and physical therapy 

After amputation and your stump has healed, you’ll begin talking to a prosthetist about your prosthetic. This relationship is likely to continue for a while to come because getting used to your new prosthetic is a process that requires extensive aftercare and physical therapy. Just remember to be patient with yourself and trust that you’re in the best hands possible.
