General Info:
Our mission is to provide leading edge prosthetic care with a warm personal touch, building lifelong partnerships with our patients and their families. We seek to give our patients the tools, information, and resources necessary to allow them to achieve their goals. WHO WE ARE: Action Prosthetics utilizes the latest in prosthetic technology to provide customized one-on-one patient care to amputees. We provide healthcare through designing and fitting customized prosthesis for patients of all ages and functional levels. In addition, we coordinate your rehabilitation with your physician and other members of the rehabilitation team. Our founder, Karl Burk, C.P. has a Bachelor of Science degree in Rehabilitation and 18 years of patient care experience. Karl's prior experience in the creation and fabrication of adaptive equipment for rehabilitation facilities and work as a master carpenter has also contributed to his ability to provide patients with an excellent fit for maximum comfort level. Because of his knowledge and technical expertise, we are able to offer unparalleled service to our patients. WHAT WE DO: Prosthetic Services: When first working with you, we perform a detailed evaluation so that we can design a prosthesis that meets your individual needs. We then explain why we think a particular prosthetic component or socket design will benefit you. We encourage you to ask questions about your prosthetic limb's design, fit, and alignment. We also provide you with written materials to assist you with caring for your prosthesis in your everyday life. Our primary focus when delivering a prosthetic limb to you is achieving the proper fit. The most cutting edge component is of little use to you if you cannot wear the prosthesis comfortably. We understand that your success is dependent upon your ability to use the prosthesis all day without pain and discomfort. At Action Prosthetics, your prosthetist personally custom designs your prosthesis, oversees your training with it, and coordinates your rehabilitation with doctors, physical therapists, and other medical professionals. This interdisciplinary approach highlights our commitment to giving you all the resources necessary to achieve your functional goals. We do NOT send out any of our prosthetic work to central fabrication facilities. By keeping everything on site, we are able to maintain the highest quality control standards. We work closely with prosthetic manufacturers, collaborating with them to test and develop products. Our relationships with these companies permit us to provide you with the best and newest prosthetic technologies first. WE SPECIALIZE IN: Along with the unique personalized care, our prosthetists specialize in higher functioning, higher activity level clients and provide the most advanced prosthetics available. These products include the use of microprocessor controlled knees, feet and upper extremity systems and custom sport prosthetics. Action Prosthetics offers a multitude of specialized services and is a certified provider of a number of upper and lower extremity products from the most competitive prosthetic component providers.
