A healthy residual limb is essential for successful prosthetic use. Our team helps manage swelling, skin breakdown, neuroma pain, and prosthetic pressure issues to ensure comfort and proper healing.
Phantom sensations are common and can impact daily function. We offer evidence-based treatments including medication management, desensitization therapy, interventional pain procedures, and innovative rehab techniques.
Recovery is more than physical healing. We offer behavioral health resources, peer encouragement connections, and goal-focused care planning to support the whole person.
Walking, exercising, and transferring safely require retraining. Our therapists provide gait training, strengthening programs, and balance exercises designed for lower-limb amputees at all activity levels.
Tasks such as buttoning a shirt or cooking can feel daunting. We teach adaptive strategies, improve dexterity, and integrate the latest prosthetic technology into real-life independence.
Even the best devices need expert guidance and adjustment. We collaborate with certified prosthetists to ensure optimal comfort, alignment, and performance while teaching safe use through physical and occupational therapy.
Rehabilitation typically starts shortly after surgery to support healing, reduce swelling, and prepare your residual limb for prosthetic training while improving mobility and overall function early.
