Services Available from a Prosthetics Center

Services Available from a Prosthetics Center
July 1, 2021Nicole RizzoGeneral News

If you’re one of millions of Americans facing life with a prosthetic, you’ll see that the prosthesis clinic you choose will become a place where you spend a lot of time as you’re adjusting to life with your device. For that reason, you’ll want to be sure that the clinic offers a host of services and that you’re choosing the best center for prosthetics in Port St. Lucie. Here are just a few of the services that you should consider must-haves for any clinic you visit. 

Caring providers at a center for prosthetics

Life with a prosthetic comes with it’s own challenges and you’ll want to be sure that whatever center for prosthetics you choose includes an inviting and friendly staff. You’ll also want to be sure the prosthetist on staff is exceptional with an impressive training record and plenty of experience to share. Ultimately, their goal should be your success and nothing less. Go where you feel comfortable and welcomed. Feeling those things will make all the difference.   

The perks of an in-house fab lab

Choosing a clinic that also offers an in-house fabrication lab is icing on the proverbial cake. Proximity to their own lab means a prosthetist can fit your needs to a tee. You can even personalize your prosthetic and have access to prosthetics designed for specific activities like running or swimming. Aside from the inner workings of the device, you can have the lab personalize your prosthetic to your taste.   

Post-surgery care at a center for prosthetics

You also want to choose a clinic that has a solid reputation for post-surgery care. This care will likely include counseling both before surgery and in the months following as your residual limb heals. It could also provide a post-surgery prosthetic that can help you get around better in the first few months following surgery and until you can be fitted for a permanent device.   

Physical therapy is important too

Learning to get around with a prosthetic takes work. Usually, once you’re fitted with your device, you’ll log many hours with physical therapy providers working with you to build your strength and while learning to move more fluidly and naturally while wearing the prosthetic. Physical therapy is really the key to success and having that kind of care in the clinic you choose is critical.
