The Next Step Orthotic and Prosthetic Difference

Welcome to Next Step Orthotics & Prosthetics, Inc., where our clients come first. You can feel the difference as soon as you come in our door, as people greet you warmly and are genuinely pleased to see you.

We understand how the big national prosthetic firms operate, because we've worked for them and didn't care for their get-them-in-and-out, bottom-line-focus. Before you choose Next Step, we invite you to visit other prosthetic facilities so you can see the difference. We want you to be comfortable with your decision.

• Reputation for expert fittings
• High satisfaction, comfort and quality
• Our mission

 Reputation for expert fittings

Next Step is a practitioner-owned and operated company based in New England. With a reputation for personalized care and high-quality orthotic and prosthetic services, clients seek us out from across the U.S. and the world.

Our expert fitting techniques allow us to successfully fit many amputees who have not achieved a comfortable fit elsewhere. This is why many of our clients are referred to us by other amputees.

At Next Step, we treat you the way we want to be treated, with care and respect. We listen to your goals, value your ideas and encourage you to be involved in the fitting process.

 High satisfaction, comfort and quality

Fittings, alignments and gait adjustments are customized, not only to your specific functional needs, but are performed until you attain the highest level of satisfaction and comfort possible.

With a state-of-the-art fabrication lab on site, we maintain a higher level of quality control and much faster turnaround times. We can even perform cosmetic finishing or repairs while you wait.

 Our mission

Our mission is to become the preferred resource for orthotic and prosthetic care. We will accomplish this by:

providing the inspiration, courage and clinical experience that will enable the people who enter our facility to leave with the tools they need to lead the most fruitful, productive life possible.

maintaining a modern, productive, efficient facility so we can attract top quality personnel, exhibit a strong community presence, and identify the economic growth needed to secure our position in the rapidly changing health care arena.

proving that a caring, specialized approach to helping people can still be done in such a way that ensures people's dignity and also serves as a potential role model for the rest of the health care community.

"We support ABC accreditation of our practitioners and facilities and participate in ongoing education compliance programs. From our participation in the development of new prosthetic technology and componentry to our clinicians' involvement with several college educational programs, we are at the forefront of advances in prosthetics. We invite you to learn more about us by reviewing this site and visiting our facilities. You will discover that we truly are "with you every step of the way."
