Referring Patients to Advanced Prosthetics
At Advanced Prosthetics & Orthotics, we collaborate with a wide range of healthcare providers to deliver the highest level of care to our patients. We understand that many individuals require prosthetic and orthotic services as part of their ongoing medical care, whether they're recovering from an injury, managing chronic conditions, or living with a disability. That’s why we work closely with physicians and other care providers to ensure patients receive the appropriate solutions tailored to their specific needs.
Physician and Care Provider Referrals to Advanced Prosthetics & Orthotics
Our referral partners include a variety of specialists who trust us to support their patients in regaining mobility, comfort, and independence. Here are some of the key provider types who regularly refer patients to our practice:
Spinal Surgeons
Whether it's for patients recovering from a spinal injury following a traumatic event, or for those dealing with chronic back pain, spinal surgeons may refer individuals for spinal braces and supports. This can include both inpatient care following a trauma, or outpatient referrals for long-term support such as lower back braces.
Vascular Surgeons
Patients with circulatory or vascular conditions may require compression garments, supports, or custom orthotics. Vascular surgeons refer individuals who may benefit from these devices to manage blood flow and swelling, especially following surgeries or injuries.
Physiatry & Physical Therapy
Specialists in physical medicine and rehabilitation often work with us to prescribe devices like braces, splints, or custom orthotics to help patients with musculoskeletal issues, pain management, or rehabilitation after surgery or injury.
Podiatry
For patients with foot-related concerns, podiatrists frequently refer individuals to us for custom foot orthotics or prosthetic solutions, ensuring improved comfort and function.
Neurology
Neurologists may refer patients who require orthotics to manage conditions such as neurological impairment, paralysis, or spasticity, helping individuals regain stability and movement.
Rheumatology
Patients dealing with autoimmune or inflammatory conditions like arthritis often need customized orthotic devices for joint support and pain relief. Rheumatologists frequently send referrals for these types of treatments.
Cancer Centers
Oncology specialists refer patients who have undergone amputations or need prosthetic limbs following cancer treatments. We assist with both the emotional and functional aspects of recovery, providing personalized solutions.
Wound Care
For patients recovering from chronic wounds or surgical wounds, wound care specialists may refer them to us for compression garments, custom orthotics, or prosthetics to aid in healing and prevent further injury.
Pain Management
Patients dealing with chronic pain, particularly in the back or joints, may require custom braces or supports. Pain management specialists often refer patients for these devices as part of their pain management strategy.

Family physicians and internists play a vital role in identifying patients who may benefit from orthotic and prosthetic services and refer them to us for further evaluation and fitting.

For patients who require orthotics or prosthetics after undergoing procedures for infections, especially those affecting bones, joints, or limbs, infectious disease specialists refer them to our practice for rehabilitation.

Pediatricians often refer children with congenital conditions, limb loss, or physical disabilities to us for pediatric prosthetics and orthotics designed for growing bodies and active lifestyles.
