In the case of orthotics, which are support devices that help a person with mobility issues or comfort issues from anything from an injury to wear and tear, there can be many options as well. Walk aides, braces, etc. are the usual required support anyone with these issues.

It’s just a matter of contacting us, getting a diagnosis, and we will work with every client personally to provide a custom approach and solution to mobility issues. This is what makes LifeCare unique. We take the time to assess the process of being fitted for an orthotic brace or walk aide, which can go through several necessary steps in order to bring the best result to a person’s recovery and comfort.

Custom Orthotics

August 7, 2013 | By | No Comments

Custom-Orthotics-2LifeCare’s comprehensive approach to healing is encompassed in our solution to ankle and foot injuries- Custom Orthotics.

First we are about custom care to our patients through a variety of approaches that have become our signature distinction as a clinic.

We take the time to work with your therapist or doctor to be present and available at every point in the rehabilitation process. This gives us the best information through hands-on encounters with our clients that make us stand out among the rest.

The other distinction is that after our assessment is given to each client, we custom make our orthotics (hence Custom Orthotics) to best meet the needs of the patient. This means a cutting edge lab that takes the consultation of the experts and specifically design each Custom Orthotic solution, which is the best and only way to truly regain full mobility after a trauma or injury. This often occurs through damage to the muscles or nerves, and since each person’s injury and body is different, the Custom Orthotics solution is the best.

Our clients come with every story being different, which makes their needs unique, and it is our concern to meet those needs through the best approach- Custom Orthotics.

We are good with any age client, but are experts with children. We particularly work with: Spina Bifida, Developmental Delay, Cerebral Palsy, Scoliosis, Traumatic Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Injury, and Sports Related Injuries.

These are all cases we’d love to work with you to bring a comprehensive solution through Custom Orthotics healing.

Prosthetics for Kids

August 7, 2013 | By | No Comments

prosthetics-for-kidsThe goal at LifeCare Prosthetics & Orthotics is to bring a holistic healing process to anyone coming to us for help in prosthetic treatment. The keyword for us is “holistic” because what makes us unique is that we work alongside our clients through each part of the process in gaining function with their prosthetic or orthotic limb. We are there at the time of diagnosis, we custom make our limbs to each client, and we are there alongside each person in the process of their physical therapy. What makes this vital to regaining functionality is that sometimes new needs arise, and others diminish as steps are made.

But what makes us especially unique is our love for children. We not only work with adults of all ages, but with children as well, and at every level of development. Though it can be daunting, and in prosthetic situations with children there can be unique occurrences particular to their level of growth, we are experts in understanding and accommodating to what’s best for them.

And we understand that it is not just the child that is affected and needs guidance through this process. We work with the entire family to make physical therapy and custom orthotic designing as easy and as beneficial as possible.

Prosthetics for children

August 7, 2013 | By | No Comments

prosthetics-for-children-2At LifeCare Prosthetics & Orthotics, we understand the uncertainty and anxiety that can arise with unexpected prosthetic needs for children, especially if a family has no experience in dealing with this situation. It can be daunting, and it is our primary concern at LifeCare to accommodate and alleviate any doubt or loss that may threaten such a case.

What makes us unique is that we listen to each client, not just the parents but to the children most especially because it is their condition we treat. We work alongside each client at every part of the process (diagnosis, creating a custom prosthetic limb, physical therapy etc.) to adapt, understand and help guide through the process.

However, it is not always that the need for a prosthetic limb arises unexpectedly or later in a child’s life. It may be the case that a child needs it from early stages in his or her life, and the case might require experts, in dealing not only with both children and adults, but with children of all stages in development. That again is a perfect match for LifeCare.

However, other than the details of the process and our work with families we have a special love for working with children. You could say it’s our specialty.

Pediatric Prosthetics

pediatric-prostheticsLifeCare Prosthetics & Orthotics specializes in working with children in finding the best prosthetic solution to meet their needs. We take the time to work with every client in the most ideal and potentially reviving way. We are not naive to think that we can standardize an approach that works for every client because every client is different, and even within the process we have in providing prosthetic solutions there can be changes that occur that require expert knowledge and adaptation to make it the best experience for everyone.

And this is especially true for children. We love working with them, and we aim to bring understanding to both the child and the family of what is happening in all stages of receiving a prosthetic limb. We know the questions that can arise when a child begins to walk this road and it’s one of primary concerns to ease any doubt or confusion in what having a prosthetic limb entails.

We make custom made orthotics!

Custom-Made-OrthoticsInjury to the ankle or foot can be a major discomfort to anyone who’s experienced it. It can be a muscular, skeletal, related to the nerves, or all three, and proposed remedies for the condition can be manifold coming from such things as one-size-fits-all braces that can be bought at the local drugstore to pain therapy that might never get to root of the issue. The best remedy, however, is Custom Made Orthotics provided by experienced caregivers who work with patients in this condition on a daily basis.

Custom Made Orthotics is what it sounds like it would be; they are specifically tailored to meet the needs of a specific ailment to the ankle and foot. Custom Made Orthotics is not a simple insert that goes into a person’s shoe bought from the local drugstore. The distinction in the care provided at LifeCare is that each remedy is made to accommodate and support your foot. Yes, we custom make each orthotic brace to support the specific condition and injury. In our labs we take the time to bring the most optimal solution to your ailment.

That, however, is not the only trait that stands out about LifeCare. The only way we can provide the best Custom Made Orthotics care to our clients is that we are present through every step of the process of healing. This means working with doctors and therapists right alongside them to be vigilant and attentive to every need concerning the injuries of our clients.

Lastly, age is not a factor in providing care. We work with people of any age, children (we love working with children) to the elderly. However, we are experts in pediatric orthotics– Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Developmental Delay, Scoliosis, Spinal Cord Injury, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Sports Related Injuries. We do it all and are ready to provide real solutions with attentive care.

Ankle Foot Orthotics is a speciality of ours

August 7, 2013 | By | No Comments

Ankle-Foot-OrthoticsLifeCare’s greatest concern is healing with maximal comfort and support for all our clients. The process is driven by care for each person that walks through our doors, and the goal is to provide support, and in many cases it is some trauma or injury to the ankle or foot. For those looking for a real solution, it’s found a LifeCare through our work in the area of AFO (Ankle-Foot Orthotics).

The ankle and foot are parts of the body that take a lot of punishment from everyday tasks, and when issues arise, it might seem as if there isn’t much to accommodate. Trauma or injury can occur and leave anyone with a vast spectrum of pain or discomfort that they may not know where to turn to for relief. A family doctor will diagnose the issue, but what about the hardware and the support from those who deal with these cases everyday? The solution is Ankle-Foot Orthotics.

So, what is AFO?

It’s basically a brace or support device that is tailored to relief the pain and discomfort that can occur with injuries related to the ankle and the foot with an emphasis on the need for arch support. Ankle-Foot Orthotic braces immobilize that part of the body and help align the nerves and muscles to bring normalcy back to everyday mobility.

What makes LifeCare different?

Two distinctions make us the best.

One is that we work alongside your doctor or therapist, constantly assessing and providing comprehensive care to our clients. This brings specific, holistic, and acute care to each patient. Each case has its own intricacies and needs and we are willing and equipped to accommodate to bring personalized and supportive care every time.

The other is that we not only work with the therapist or doctor, but we tailor each AFO brace or support device to best heal and provide normalcy. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to care at our clinic. We understand the uniqueness of each person and their needs, and we love the challenge to assist each person perfectly.

What is an AFO?

August 7, 2013 | By | No Comments

AFOAFO is a remedy to a part of the body that can undergo intense and unrelenting wear and tear through everyday activities, or in many cases through a specific injury or condition. It is the job of LifeCare to provide individualized support through the work in our labs to take any condition, in this case an ankle-foot condition that requires attention, and seek to assess and carry out what is best to free client’s from unnecessary impediments.

At LifeCare Prosthetics & Orthotics, our goal is to bring prompt care for our clients. We take the time to assess our clients’ condition and find the best solution to working with them.

Orthotics can be tremendously helpful in gaining mobility with any musculoskeletal condition, and play a crucial role in regaining function during therapy. We make custom-molded braces for clients for anything from AFO (ankle-foot orthotics) to more complex cervical and spinal orthoses. The goal is to provide individualized and custom care to bring the optimal outcome that best meets your needs.

The process begins with an intricate and thorough evaluation, followed by a process of recommendations, treatment, and rehabilitation. For every step made, we are there to work and educate, providing holistic therapy to all our clients.

Another distinction of LifeCare Prosthetics & Orthotics (a known AFO Dallas clinic) is that we are committed to meeting the needs of every child that comes through our doors. We aim to increase the functioning and quality of life through particular attention given to each child.

This can take many forms, and it is our job to figure out what is best for you. The ways we can help are manifold and intricate, bringing a perfect solution from the most common ailments of the ankle-foot area, to more severe cases. This is why Lifecare as the best AFO custom Dallas TX clinic.
