Believe it, many of our clients have forgotten the song in their heart at the beginning of their initial visit with us. Visit with a client who has just lost a limb or talk with a mother whose child is living with a disadvantage. There are questions, and lots of them, concerns, emotions.

For our clients, it is more than working with a highly skilled, board-certified professional ... it is working with a newfound friend who can often help promote not only a new lease on life, but an attitude that will bring them to it as well.

That becomes the difference. When physical potentials begin to flourish, so does the song in the heart.

A professionally fit, reliable and comfortable prosthesis is our goal. Using state-of-the-art materials, computer aided design (CADCAM), vacuum suspension technology, and other proven methods, we enhance the client's safety and functional potential. Our technical professionals are trained to fabricate and assemble prosthetic devices in our on-site lab. Personal client fittings and adjustments are made in our comfortable and personable office atmosphere.

Reaching past a barrier and grabbing on to a richer, fuller life becomes a reality through our comprehensive orthotic services. Goals, such as standing erect for the first time or being able to play golf once again, are typical challenges we address on a routine basis. Finding the appropriate compromise between comfort and required support for someone who wears a plastic body jacket for scoliosis or spinal paralysis is always a challenge; but one that is almost always doable.

Managing diabetic and arthritic foot/ankle supports is a primary sub-specialty in our orthotic practice. Additionally, we specialize in plantar fasciitis, posterior tibial tendonitis and other foot/ankle gait related problems. Whether the problem is caused by a stroke, a personal injury, or another cause, our goal is always the same ... to simply help our clients reach their maximum functional potential.

Life is different for each of us. Each one of us has different gifts ... each will have challenges of one kind or another. A child in need of a prosthesis is an emotional issue, not only for the child but the family as well.

Most children exhibit a higher degree of adaptability and acceptance than adults. When a child experiences the thrill of walking ... one can see the pleasure in his or her eyes. As the family sees the progress of the child ... their happiness and joy are no less apparent.

Lower limb pediatric prosthetics is a specialized service at MaxCare Bionics. Helping children achieve higher levels of mobility brings great satisfaction to our entire professional team. Simplicity, durability of components, and engineering compensation for the growth of the child are all key to the child's ongoing prosthetic success.

Helping a child with cerebral palsy or spina bifida reach his or her functional potential makes for a special day for all concerned. When orthoses are needed, our philosophy is that the best device is often the simplest device that helps the child function as desired, so they can get to where they are going as fast as possible .... safely and securely.

At MaxCare, we often use the Cascade DAFO® wrap-around orthotic system for lower limb pediatric problems that arise from cerebral palsy, spina bifada and other causes; a system praised by physicians, therapists, parents, and orthotists alike. This system has proven to be an important assist in helping children reach their functional potential.

Pedorthic services can meet a wide range of different foot and ankle needs. Simple shoe modifications or a well-designed foot insert can make the difference between walking in comfort or discomfort. We believe for most foot and ankle problems, there is a solution. Accordingly, we consider comprehensive biomechanical and gait factors when analyzing foot and ankle problems. With a successful solution, our clients step back into the world with improved comfort, confidence, and safety.

Problems never could tell time, but for those times, MaxCare Bionics provides after-hours consultation for our established clients and physicians.

Each of our office locations provides this optional service with the availability of a certified practitioner to meet the specific needs of our clients and referral sources. A comfort for you to know … a blessing when a client needs help.

In today's world, saying one cares … almost sounds contrived. Often times it is. In many professions, patients/clients/customers are dealt with in such a forced systematic fashion that truly caring for another, takes a back seat to profit and volume.

So why is it different at MaxCare Bionics? It's a matter of the heart. People that come to us are challenged in many ways and it's very personal. Understanding that is the beginning of bringing a person back to a better life.

It's more than liking what you do or getting up looking forward to your day … it's loving what you can do for others. From working with children wondering what's next to adults hoping for the best… it's the personal care from us that builds a bridge to relationship and trust.

One couldn't put a patient in better hands … hands that reach out from the heart. That is a Passion for Caring.
