At Orthotics & Prosthetics Associates we strive to give our patients the ability to lead more active and independent lives.

By working with other members of the rehabilitation team or individual healthcare practitioners to create a treatment plan and orthopaedic device for enhancing quality of life.

Whether this means manufacturing a prosthetic limb to allow a baby to walk for the first time or a walking frame to help someone keep walking for a little longer. We aim to give each patient individual attention and work with them for the best possible outcome.
