Ability Orthopedics

Ability Orthopedics, located at 209 Statesville Blvd, Salisbury, NC, is a dedicated clinic specializing in prosthetic and orthotic solutions. Established in 2004 as part of Ability Prosthetics & Orthotics, they are committed to enhancing the health and well-being of their patients by providing custom-fitted artificial limbs and braces. Their practitioners evaluate, design, and fit both custom and off-the-shelf orthotic and prosthetic devices. The clinic emphasizes a comprehensive care philosophy, ensuring that patients receive tailored attention to maximize their prosthetic and orthotic experience. They leverage state-of-the-art, computer-aided design and the newest technology in their services. Unlike traditional models that might fabricate all devices in-house, Ability Orthopedics collaborates with over 50 leading manufacturers to source a wide array of devices, ensuring the most comfortable fit and optimal function for each patient. While they have an on-site fabrication laboratory in their Hickory facility, their overall approach includes external resources for diverse solutions. Ability Orthopedics is certified by The American Board for Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics (ABC), which mandates high quality and patient care standards. Their practitioners are also certified by the Board for Certification in Pedorthics (BCP) and The American Orthotics & Prosthetics Association (AOPA), demonstrating their commitment to stringent standards of care through continuous education and demonstrated competency. Key services offered include: Prosthetics: Providing a wide range of artificial limb designs and components for both lower and upper extremities, utilizing advanced technology. Orthotics: Offering a variety of lower and upper extremity orthotics, diabetic foot care, fracture bracing, and scoliosis bracing, with an emphasis on on-site fabrication for precise control. Compression Hosiery: Featuring a certified lymphedema and compression hosiery fitter on staff, they provide solutions for conditions like varicose veins, spider veins, and post-surgery needs. The Salisbury office is conveniently located near the W.G. Hefner VA Medical Center, making it accessible for veterans and other patients. Ability Orthopedics aims to improve patients' self-reliance, self-esteem, and dignity, helping them better manage daily activities with their prosthetic or orthotic devices.
