About

Your Care Partner

People lose limbs or suffer orthopedic impairment for many reasons, including accidents, injuries, birth defects and disease. Our specialization in orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) can help patients regain their mobility by fitting them with artificial limbs (prostheses) and orthopedic braces (orthoses).
Our duty to the patients include:

Perform a detailed assessment to determine the patient's O&P needs.
Assess the patient's functional status, including muscle development, gait, sensory function, range of motion, joint stability and skin integrity.
Develop a plan that addresses the patient's needs and goals, including pain reduction, comfort, stability and mobility, as well as aesthetics.
Select the appropriate design, materials and components for optimum strength, durability and function.
Discuss the treatment plan, including benefits, risks and time involved.
Prepare the patient for the device, with the use of splints or compression garments, as needed.
Take measurements, make impressions and develop templates as needed to accurately fit the device.
Fabricate/assemble the device and assess and properly align it for maximum function and comfort.
Explain how to use and maintain the device.
Provide ongoing care, including evaluation and modification of the device for optimal fit and function.

OUR MISSION

Our mission at O &P Innovations is to provide our patients with quality and cost effective orthotic and prosthetic services to serve their needs for a better quality of life.

Team Approach

Orthotic & Prosthetic Partnership

In a U.S. health care system that’s often fragmented and costly for the consumer, a team approach for patient care is accomplished successfully by treating the whole person with a collaborative team.

We believe in partnering with other health care providers responsible for the patient’s care – from nurses to doctors to community health workers to mental health specialists to physical therapists. We will help the team work together to anticipate the patient’s needs, communicate their findings with each other, and make sure no aspect of the patient’s health, in particular their orthotic or prosthetic care, will slip through the cracks.
