Finding A Prosthetics Provider Near You

Finding A Prosthetics Provider Near You
September 1, 2021Nicole RizzoGeneral News

If you’re one of millions of Americans facing an amputation surgery in the near future, or even if you love someone who is, you know that it’s important to find the right provider for prosthetics. Beyond searching the internet for prosthetics, there are other resources that can help you in your search. All of your energy after surgery should go toward healing. That’s when resources like these step in to help guide you along the way.  

There are more options than just searching prosthetics

You might luck out and land on one of the best providers by simply searching the internet for prosthetics. But why take the chance that you won’t. Instead, depend on resources that help the amputee community like the Amputee Coalition, a non-profit that provides information and support to amputee patients. Check the coalition’s website for tons of great information including where to find talented, experienced prosthetists.  

Consider certification boards

There exists a certification board that you can look to for guidance on prosthetists. The American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics, and Pedorthics. This board has set the standards for the industry for more than 70 years. If you find a prosthetist in your area that’s certified by ABC, there’s a great chance that you’ve found a high-quality provider. The board also maintains a list of providers on its website. 

Check with associations

There are a couple of associations that providers in this industry are often a part of. You can search any of them for high-quality providers in your area. Look through the literature and recommendations provided by The American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists or The American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association. 

You can always ask for a referral for prosthetics

The surgeon that performs your amputation surgery is also likely to be a tremendous resource for providers in the area. They likely know best what prosthetic clinics deliver the highest quality care. It’s a good idea to have this conversation with them before you’re completely discharged from their care.
