Our Military
We warmly welcome Veterans who have served our country!
Georgia Prosthetics was founded in 1964 and has proudly been serving veterans since the Vietnam War. War veterans visit Georgia Prosthetics regularly because prostheses naturally wear out over time – requiring maintenance and periodic replacement. Many veterans recognize each other from visiting our facility over the years. Some were even in the hospital together and others met while in the hospital here in Atlanta or in Augusta.
Recipient of the Freedom Award
Georgia Prosthetics has received the Freedom Award each of the last few years for the custom work and services provided for veterans.
Why Trust Georgia Prosthetics?
We take precise measurements and extreme care with each prosthetic to ensure a comfortable, customized fit for each individual. You’re getting a prosthesis made by hand, heart, and soul in the USA by our artisan technicians.
The socket on this prosthetic (pictured) is clear for diagnostic fitting purposes. This is not the finished product, but a step in our process of checking the fit and alignment (the angle of the socket over the foot). The height of a prosthesis also needs to be verified because people run on their toes. Meaning the prosthesis needs to be longer than if it was made for walking. This is even more tricky because the spring of the foot compresses so much. After all components have been checked and confirmed, we then fabricate the definitive version for the veteran.
The photo of this prosthesis is of a running leg we are in the process of making for a veteran who stepped on an IED in Afghanistan.
