The right prosthesis can restore more than mobility—it can restore possibility. It allows you to stay active, regain confidence, and experience the places you’ve always dreamed of visiting. With his properly fitted prosthesis, Charles was able to explore Yellowstone National Park—an adventure he once thought might be out of reach.

😢 An old, ill-fitting prosthesis can have a very negative impact on a person’s life - causing pain, skin issues, limping, instability and a myriad of other issues that can affect your back, hips and your sound limb.

🦿 Latrista's previous prosthesis was held together by tape. It had become too large after weight loss and left her in constant discomfort, forcing her to discontinue wearing it. That meant putting her fitness routine and her day-to-day activities on hold.

😀 Jason Siegler, CP worked with Latrista to get her a prosthesis that would allow her to keep up with her fitness goals. Now, she reports she is back to running on the treadmill and hiking the trails of WNC!

🎉 It's amazing what a well-functioning, proper fitting prosthesis can do!

📊According to the NIH, each year in the U.S., 30,000 to 40,000 amputations occur, with nearly 80% of amputees reporting phantom limb pain—a sensation of pain or discomfort in a limb that is no longer present. This differs from residual limb pain, which originates from the actual amputation site. Phantom pain can feel tingly, hot or cold, or as if the missing limb is still moving .

🤔The causes are not fully understood, but studies are currently being done to try to better understand this condition which can greatly affect a person's day-to-day activities.

⚕Treatments often involve medications (like NSAIDs, prescription pain relievers, or anticonvulsants) as well as non-drug therapies like TENS, mirror therapy, or spinal cord stimulation. Due to its complexity, phantom limb pain is best managed by a multidisciplinary team.

😫If you suffer from phantom pain, consult your surgeon or primary care for possible treatment options.
