For Veterinarians and other Medical Professionals
Please contact us for instructions in regards to casting and fitting. Instructions and referral forms are not posted to this website. We will send you a link to our Google Drive where you can watch available casting and fitting videos, and download Evaluation & Referral forms specific to the body region involved.
If you are uncertain which orthosis would be appropriate, we can discuss the options with you. These suggestions will be based on the diagnosis as well as the physical symptoms exhibited by the patient. Pictures and video may be requested. Video conferencing can be arranged.
Patients with amputated limbs may or may not be a candidate for wearing a prosthesis. Please contact us to discuss the requirements. Pictures, radiographs and the ability to video conference will be needed.
