Check out the BracePlace!

2016 was an exciting year for Howard Orthotics and Prosthetics; from opening our first satellite office to our embrace of the newest technology and even a staffer that achieved full credentialing, we have a lot of news to share. We’ve been able to expand and offer services in a second location, allowing us to provide the same level of personal and customized service to customers in the Canton area. With all of these changes, we’ve retained our core values and reaffirmed our dedication to serving those who need us most.

Now You can Visit Our New Satellite Location Our newest office is located in the Canton area and covers most of the services we offer in the original Watertown office. We can now accept Medicare and Medicaid at this location, allowing us to offer convenient treatment for patients in this area. Situated about an hour and a half north of the main office, the new Canton location is designed to make it easier for rural or remote patients to receive treatment. While many in our industry are closing down or giving up, HOP continues to see growth. Our unique approach to care, our dedication to learning and our commitment to our patients help us stand out in a crowded field. We opened a new location to increase the number of people we help while providing convenience for our current patients

Health Tips

Keep That Resolution To Get Fit This Year! Going to the gym is not the only option in becoming more active. Activity can include many varieties of physically demanding hobbies or interests such as weightlifting, swimming, walking, playing basketball, gardening, or exercising at home. You should see an orthopedic physician before commencing any vigorous activity, if you have a history of activity related injuries. Here are some tips to help you embrace your new years resolutions to stay fit: • Join a race by supporting a good cause. Whether it’s a 5K, 10K, or 15K, supporting a good cause will not only raise money for charity, but it will also get you closer to your weight loss goals. • Make time for activity every day. It is often easier to make it a habit to exercise in the morning, so that you don’t have to worry about it later in the day. • Stay Hydrated. Keeping your body hydrated will reduce muscle fatigue, dizziness and headaches. • Bring a healthier dish to parties. Whether it’s a potluck at work or a friends BBQ, there are many recipes available online to help you make tasty healthy dishes. • Don’t skip breakfast. Eating breakfast not only keeps you more energized but it also helps improve mental performance.
