Many take advantage of our accelerated fitting service.

We also offer specialized gait analysis and training that ensure a smooth, natural gait.
With an on-site fabrication lab, we can make fitting adjustments quickly, so your prosthesis or orthotics can be ready in days, not weeks. Our technicians are in the next room, not in another state, allowing repairs and adjustments to be made while you wait.
Clients tell us it's refreshing to talk with our amputees on staff, because they have a deep understanding of the challenges that amputees face, as well as the wide range of activities possible with a properly fitting prosthesis.
Our highly respected, ABC-certified practitioners are invited to teach current prosthetic methods at seminars and educational institutions throughout the region. We are also involved in developing new prosthetic techniques and technologies.
As one of the country's most highly regarded prosthetic firms, Next Step is at the forefront in beta-testing and utilizing state-of-the-art components, giving our clients access to the latest advances in the field.

"The bottom line is that I know how influential my prosthetists have been in my life and the difference they have made for me. I have been on all sides of the fence in this industry starting as a patient, then an influence in sports, later a technician, and practitioner. I can only hope that I am able to influence and provide hope for people that go through a life altering experience like my own in the future. At the end of the day, if I am able to do that, that is the ultimate reward."
