Losing a limb is a traumatic experience and the road to recovery is long. Most patients will need time to get comfortable with a prosthetic and will undergo physiotherapy for months or even years. Most patients are able to adapt and successfully resume their lives following an amputation.
Living with orthotic support such as braces or special footwear affects how you work and move each day.
We at Johan Nieman Orthotics and Prosthetics know and understand the physical and emotional changes to which our patients have to adapt and we are mindful that the daily living and recovering paths are different for each person.
Apart from encouraging daily care of your orthosis or prosthesis and embracing a healthy lifestyle, we are always here to give medical support and advice and to make every step better for you.
