How It Works | Prosthetics and Orthotics in Wilmington, NC

The Process

The Home of personal service and professional solutions

After a referral from your healthcare provider, Atlantic Prosthetic Services will start by familiarizing ourselves with your medical history and the additional notes sent by your physician. We will also speak with you directly about the process, your needs and how a custom prosthetic, orthotic, or compression will best serve you and your lifestyle. Specializing in pediatrics to geriatrics prosthetics, we understand that each patient is unique and has different needs and wants. Once assessments are completed, our team gets to work planning the prosthetic, orthotic or compression piece best suited for you and begins fabrication.

After Your Initial Piece is Fabricated

We will schedule a time for you to return to our office for an initial trial and fitting of your device. Most of the time your new prosthesis can be ready within the same day. Occasionally, modifications are made to the prosthetic or orthotic to assure comfort and proper alignment. If this is the case, our team will make the adjustments in-house, and your device will be ready within a few days. We strive to make the process from referral to delivery as easy as possible so that our patients can resume their normal activities, restart physical therapy, or get back to normal routines as soon as possible.
