Our Mission Statement: Professional amputee care and
prevention.
Many of our patients (91%) owe little or no money

coverage which otherwise Medicare has set as a patient responsibility co-pay.
Call our office and one of our insurance specialist will be happy to discuss
those options.

Risks Associated With Diabetes (PLEASE READ)
As a diabetes
educator, Mary Austin sometimes counsels diabetic patients who are acutely aware
of how the disease, over time, can ravage the
human body, from the eyes down to the feet. "If any family member or close
friend had diabetes, somehow the horror stories come out," said Austin,
president of the American Association of Diabetes Educators, whose members teach
patients to manage their diabetes on a daily basis.
Others,
though, are terribly uninformed about the risks, as Austin, a former renal
dietician, has witnessed. "I can count the times that I had patients say over
and over, 'I had no idea that the diabetes could cause my kidneys to fail like
this,'" she recalled.
Exacerbated
by the nation's obesity epidemic, diabetes is now the sixth-leading cause of
death in United States and is rapidly becoming a public health nightmare. The
number of U.S. adults who've been diagnosed with diabetes, including pregnant
women with gestational diabetes, has increased 61 percent since 1991 and is
projected to more than double by 2050, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. Of the 18.2 million Americans who currently suffer from
diabetes, 5.2 million don't even know they have it, the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services reports. Almost all of the undiagnosed cases are
people who suffer from type 2 diabetes, a condition in which the body fails to
use insulin properly. And, increasingly, it's afflicting people at younger and
younger ages -- even children and teens.
Type 2
diabetes usually can be controlled through diet and exercise, but sometimes
people require medication or insulin. With type 1 diabetes, which is far less
common, the pancreas no longer makes insulin, so patients must inject insulin or
use an insulin pump.
When people
don't manage their diabetes, glucose and fats remain in the blood, eventually
damaging vital organs, according to the CDC's National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. The condition can lead to terrible
complications:
Heart disease and stroke
cause about 65 percent of deaths among people with diabetes.
About 42,813 people with
diabetes develop kidney failure each year, and more than 100,000 are treated
for this condition.
Some 82,000 people have
diabetes-related leg, foot or toe amputations each year.
Between 12,000 and 24,000
people become blind because of diabetic eye disease.
About 18,000 women with
pre-existing diabetes and another 135,000 women with gestational diabetes who
give birth each year face serious complications such as stillbirth, congenital
malformations and the need for a Caesarean section.
About 10,000 to 30,000
people with diabetes die of complications from flu or pneumonia each year.
"This is the
kind of disease where vigilance is demanded," said Andrew J. Karter, a research
scientist with Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, Calif., who has studied the
relationship between genetics and risk for diabetic complications.
Karter's
study, published in 2002 in the Journal of the American Medical Association),
found no one racial group is more affected by diabetic complications than
another. Whites had the greatest risk of heart attack as a diabetes-related
complication, while other groups were more likely to suffer from end-stage renal
disease.
Genetics
likely play a role in the development of complications, but non-genetic factors
such as health behaviors and quality health care are also clearly important,
Karter said. "So regardless of their genetic makeup, patients with diabetes who
carefully manage their health can reduce the risk of long-term complications,"
he said.
Diabetes
patients could learn a lot about how to avoid serious complications by meeting
with a diabetes educator for self-management training, Austin said. Medicare, in
fact, covers up to 10 hours of initial training in a year, and two hours of
follow-up training each subsequent year, according to the National Diabetes
Education Program. Patients only need a referral from their physician or a
qualified health practitioner who is treating the beneficiary for diabetes.
Yet few
Americans who suffer from this chronic condition are getting the benefit of such
services. "They're not getting referred for it," Austin said.
According to
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison a Texas Republican and co-sponsor of a bill that would
allow certified diabetes educators to authorize self-management services, the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services estimates that only 30 percent of
beneficiaries are using the benefit.
Keeping
diabetes in control can require difficult lifestyle changes, and that's why
having an advocate can help. "You don't have to have diabetes on your own,"
Austin said she tells patients.
Even people
who don't have access to a diabetes educator can help themselves. For starters,
the National Institutes of Health and the American Diabetes Association advise
people to know the "ABCs" of diabetes:
"A" stands for hemoglobin
A1c, a test that measures a person's average blood glucose during the past
three months. The goal is an A1c below seven, which equates to an average
blood glucose of 150.
"B" is for blood pressure.
It's best to keep it below 130 over 80.
"C" is for cholesterol.
Keep low-density lipoprotein, the "bad" kind of cholesterol that can clog your
arteries, below 100.
Here are some facts to digest.
Fact: Diabetes and vascular insufficiency
are the leading causes of amputation during peace time.
Fact: One cigarette reduces the blood
supply to the lower extremity by 92% for 16 hours. So if you have the
above problems, quit smoking.
Fact: Each dollar spent on rehabilitation saves
$11.00 which would be required for alternative methods.
Fact: The total number of people with paralyses,
deformity or orthopedic impairments is expected to increase by 25% by the year
2020.
Fact: The number of people who have an
amputation and use a prosthesis is expected to rise by at least 47% by the year
2020.
Prosthetics is the science of evaluating,
fabricating and fitting amputees for restoration of their amputated limb(s).
Orthotics is the science of evaluating,
fabricating, and fitting supportive-corrective devices on patients.
All devices are either custom fabricated or custom fitted. Very little of
what we do is strictly out of a package. See our pictures of our high tech
custom Prosthetic and Orthotic items.

year BS degree along with 1 year post graduation classroom education per each

examination consists of a 3 hour written exam, 3 hour written simulation
examination, and a 1 day practical examination that requires evaluation,
measurement, fabrication. and fitting of a Prosthesis or Orthosis in front
of real-live examiners. That's why it pays to ask if the practitioner
is ABC Certified. If you are an ABC Certified CO, CP or CPO in good
