Helping patients across Northern NJ and the Tri-State Area regain mobility and function through innovative prosthetic and orthotic solutions.

Bryan spent some time in our office recently doing something he hasn't been able to do much in years - move his legs.

We have been working with him, using a custom C-brace to improve his mobility after his MS diagnosis.

He has noticed:
• improved balance
• longer, more controlled steps
• more confidence when walking
• stability when standing

For someone who is used to sitting more than standing, simply being able to move - stretch, and bend - is important.

If you or a loved one is living with MS and struggling with walking, there are options worth exploring. Send us a message here or call us 201-943-3900

This may look like a small moment, but it isn’t.

After a stroke affected this patients mobility, being able to put his brace on himself is an important part of moving toward independence and staying active at home and in daily life.

Good orthotic care goes beyond providing devices, it contributes to supporting independence, problem-solving together, and helping patients feel capable in their own environments.

We’re grateful to be part of this process and to support patients as they work toward the things that matter most to them.

In Part 3 of our Workshop Series, we’re smoothing the cast, a step that’s all about precision and comfort.

We’re not changing the foot. We’re following its natural contours so the final brace fits the way it should.

This behind-the-scenes look shows the care that goes into building a custom AFO before it’s ever worn.

Part 4 coming soon!

Curb test ✔️

The Meracus Prosthetic Foot from Allard USA continues to impress!

We've shared videos in which this patient has taken her first steps, managed stairs, uneven terrain, and now curbs.

Watch how she transitions onto sidewalks with newfound confidence and more natural movement. "That felt pretty good... almost seamless" - her words say it all.

Think this could work for you? Reach out to us today!

Welcome to Part 1 of our Workshop Series: Building a Custom AFO!

If you’ve ever wondered what actually happens between a casting appointment and getting fit with a custom AFO, this is where it all begins.

We love bringing you into the workshop with us, not just to show the “how,” but to show the care, detail, and hands-on work that goes into every orthosis we build right here in Flanders, NJ.

Part 2 coming soon!

New brace or prosthetic? Here’s how to make it more comfortable.

Breaking in a new orthotic or prosthetic device can feel like a big transition, physically and emotionally.

If you’re feeling eager to “get back to normal”… we understand that more than you know.

But going slow in the beginning can make all the difference in comfort, skin health, and long-term success.

Here’s a simple break-in guideline to get you started:
• Day 1: Wear 1 hour → remove 1 hour (repeat 3x/day)
• Day 2: Wear 2 hours → remove 1 hour (repeat 3x/day)
• Add 1 hour each day until you're wearing it full-time.

Think of it like breaking in a new pair of shoes - your body needs time to adjust.

If you're dealing with foot drop, neuropathy, stroke recovery, Charcot-Marie-Tooth, or adjusting to a prosthesis, you’re not supposed to figure this alone. Your comfort matters.

We’ll guide you every step, from fit, to footwear, to follow-ups.

Located in Flanders, NJ - serving Morris County, Northern NJ and the Tri-state area.

If you’re wondering what happens during an orthotic device fitting, here’s a simple look at the process.

We fit the orthotic, check alignment and comfort, make small adjustments if necessary, and help you stand or take a few steps so you can feel how it works with your movement.

The goal of every fitting is the same: a comfortable, supportive brace that helps you walk more safely and confidently in your daily life.

You’ll always have time to ask questions and understand how to use your device before you leave. We take the time to make sure it feels right for you.

We help people across North Jersey find the orthotic support they need to improve balance, stability, and overall mobility.

Did you know?

Earlier this year, New Jersey passed S1439/A3856 - a law that requires insurance plans to cover an additional orthotic or prosthetic device when prescribed by your clinician for physical or recreational activities.

For many people, the idea of a sport-specific or activity-specific device felt “out of reach” because insurance wouldn’t cover it. This new law changes that conversation.

If you live in New Jersey and were told in the past that an activity-specific prosthesis or orthosis wasn’t covered, it may be worth revisiting the topic with your orthotist/prosthetist.

👉 Why this matters:
• Supports safe movement, exercise & mobility
• Helps people return to activities they love
• Applies to running, biking, swimming, team sports & more

Always check with your insurance provider to understand your plan’s details and coverage requirements.
