What do you do with your old parts?

Addison came in for a foot shell replacement on her prosthesis—and took her previous one home with a creative idea in mind.

She turned it into a one-of-a-kind planter, bringing new life to something that once supported her every step.

We always enjoy seeing how our patients make their prostheses their own. Great work, Addison—this turned out beautifully.

As we come to the end of the month of we're reflecting and revisiting some of our favorite articles.

If you have diabetes, taking care of your feet is crucial for preventing complications like nerve damage, ulcers and amputation.

Don’t wait until it’s too late; do daily foot exams yourself (check out Caring for Your Feet: Safe Foot Care if You Have Diabetes to learn how) and get your feet checked regularly by an expert. https://ow.ly/abPh50Yrlj4

It’s and we’re one week into !

This month, we're celebrating the strength and spirit of the limb loss and limb difference community—and reminding everyone that no one walks this journey alone.

Show your support: wear orange, snap a photo, and tag us to celebrate together!

*Shout-out to Verona Ducey + Erin Deegan for showing us their ORANGE support!

Some couples set trends. The Goyal's test them first.

Mr. Goyal is meticulous by nature - always exploring new products and services that truly add value to his family’s life. He believes in thorough research, trials, and discussing every decision with his family before making a final choice.

This time, after careful research and consideration, he chose the C-Leg 4. The walking comfort it provides means more energy at the end of the day -resulting in more quality time with family. Its advanced safety features also make Mr. Goyal more confident and dependable during holidays and even unexpected situations.

What about Mrs. Goyal? She trusts a proven upgrade when she sees one. In their home, he tests-she follows when it’s truly value for money and with technology like this, it usually is.
If you’re someone who believes in upgrading your car, your home, your phone-why not upgrade your mobility?

Don’t just read about it. Book a trial. Feel the difference.
