STEP INSIDE O&P

WalkAide "Bionic" Orthosis for Treatment of "Drop Foot"
Our clinical staff has completed training and certification on this exciting new technology which in many "drop foot" cases alleviates the need for traditional ankle foot orthosis. We are now making the WalkAide available at all three of our locations, to patients who fit the criteria for this advanced new orthosis.

At Snell's O&P, we believe that the business of providing orthotic and prosthetic care and products to clients can never be regarded as a simple job assignment of supply and demand. While science, technology, and mathematical precision figure largely in the services we provide, the heart of our work is based on humanity rather than science. We believe that the art of understanding inner needs and private dreams is as vital to success as the mechanics of providing tangible tools of enablement to our clients.

We are privileged to receive the trust of people whose lives may be dramatically changed by our efforts; we do not take that trust lightly. For nearly a century, this philosophy has driven us to stress quality in every aspect of our care and service to our Louisiana area patients:
  • Quality of products-thoughtfully conceived, finely-tuned, and precisely fitted
  • Quality of service-prompt, efficient, knowledgeable and reliable
  • Quality of care-sensitive, empathic, courteous and considerate
  • Quality of life-expanding the horizons of those previously limited by disability
  • Quality is what we're all about...and we've been getting better at it every day since 1911

The field of orthotics encompasses any device used to support, correct or replace musculoskeletal functions lost due to a disability.

As in the prosthetic field, impressive strides have been made, and an amazing array of devices are now available, in custom-made or prefabricated designs to suit your personal requirements, your size and your shape. Faster, cleaner, more convenient and comfortable precision measurement methods allow us to quantify the smallest variances in individual shape and size.

Because no two people are alike, every amputee patient who seeks our care is carefully assessed to determine not only their physical characteristics and fitting measurements, but the nature of their hopes and dreams for an active future. Goal-setting is a vital part of determining which prosthesis will best serve each patient's needs and help them to achieve what might once have seemed impossible.

You can rely on Snell's to design, fabricate and fit a wide variety of upper and lower limb devices from the top manufacturers in the country. Because of our excellent relationship with such firms, we are in the vanguard of providers offering the very newest designs and techniques.

We are happy to explain how new materials, new ideas and designs can open up new horizons for active amputees. This is an exciting field where new advances are rapidly being perfected-making today's prostheses more lightweight, responsive, and controllable than ever before. Many prosthesis wearers compete athletically, while others rediscover the joys of golf, tennis, skiing, and other sports.
