How do I care for my prosthesis?Cleaning your prosthesis regularly with mild soap and water is important. Be sure to follow any specific care instructions provided by our team. Check your skin for irritation and contact us if you notice any issues.
-
Will my prosthesis need adjustments?Yes. After receiving your prosthesis, it’s common to require adjustments as your body adapts. We provide ongoing support and fitting sessions to ensure optimal comfort and function.
-
Can I be active with my prosthesis?Absolutely! Many patients with prosthetic devices are able to return to regular activities, including sports and exercise. We provide different types of prosthetics designed for a range of activity levels, from walking to more intense physical activities.
-
How long does a prosthesis last?Prosthetics can last up to a few years with proper care, but the exact time frame depends on wear and tear, how well the device is maintained, and changes in your body. Regular check-ups will help determine when replacements or upgrades are necessary.
-
Will I experience pain with my prosthesis?While some discomfort can occur during the adjustment period, your prosthesis should not cause ongoing pain. If you experience persistent discomfort, it’s important to schedule an appointment so adjustments can be made.
-
How do I get started with a prosthesis?The first step is a consultation with our experienced clinicians. After evaluating your specific needs and goals, we’ll create a personalized plan for your prosthetic care.

-
Can I wear my prosthesis all day?It depends on your comfort level. In the beginning, it’s recommended to wear your prosthesis for short periods and gradually increase the time. Your prosthetist will guide you through this process to ensure a smooth transition.

What if I have problems or need repairs?We offer comprehensive follow-up care, including repairs and adjustments. If you experience any issues, contact our office immediately, and we’ll schedule a time to resolve the problem.
