Excel Prosthetics & Orthotics

Since being founded in 1978, Excel has expanded to seven offices located in Virginia, Tennessee, and West Virginia. The company has grown due to its innovative products and unwavering commitment to patient comfort and satisfaction. We have extensive experience with all levels of lower and upper extremity prosthetics and orthotics.

We understand that each patient has different circumstances, needs, goals, fears, and hopes. It’s our job to guide patients on this journey that they may have never expected. Our team of certified practitioners and technicians takes this responsibility very seriously. Patients can expect our team to take great care in analyzing specific needs and designing the appropriate prosthetic or orthotic.

At Excel, experience and cutting-edge technology create a better quality of life for patients. Our industry-leading technologies are utilized by an experienced, professional team of certified practitioners and technicians. Excel Prosthetics & Orthotics is always working to bring the latest and most advanced technology to our patients. Technology is always changing and improving, and we owe it to our patients to seek out the knowledge of all options available. Digital scanning is an example of this technology that improves quality of prosthetic fitting and reduces the number of test fittings needed. Excel employs the use of elevated vacuum suction sockets, which help maintain a healthier residual limb and helps control volume changes.

The use of microprocessor knee and ankle components are an important part of prosthetic design because they help reduce stress on the patient and increases energy efficiencies that allows for a longer duration of ambulation. Excel Prosthetics and Orthotics worked with the first patient to receive a BIOM ankle/foot system in our region. The BiOM replicates the action of the foot, ankle and calf muscles that work together to assist the individual's forward motion when walking. While a traditional prosthesis can store energy and then return it, the BiOM actually replaces energy allowing amputees to walk as normally as possible over all terrain types. The BiOM is the only prosthetic system that can actually restore lost muscle function of the foot, ankle and calf for lower leg amputees. This allows patients to reduce their energy expenditures because this system actually assists during ambulation instead of being a passive device.

Our fully integrated facility ensures that patients receive the best care possible by employing enhanced scanning and digital mapping and on-site prosthetic engineering. During every initial evaluation, we capture the exact parameters of a patient’s residual limbs through digital scanning. Computer aided machines are utilized to carve out exact mold of a patient by our engineers develop and produce a socket that fits perfectly to the shape of the patient’s body. The result is a prosthetic that helps restore mobility and functionality, and more importantly, self-reliance.

When the passion is rebuilding lives one step at a time, Excel Prosthetics is the Right Choice!
