UNC Health Prosthetics and Orthotics

At UNC Health Prosthetics and Orthotics, we know you need a supportive device that’s made for your unique body. We spend time understanding your goals so we can choose a device that works for you. 

  • Personalized devices: At every stage — from your first visit to your follow-up appointments — we listen to your feedback and personalize your device.
  • Comfort first: For a prosthesis or orthosis to work, it has to be as comfortable as possible. We adjust your device until you are happy with the fit.
  • Practical design: We design your device to provide the support you need to achieve your mobility goals. 

Whether you’re in the Triangle or you’re visiting us from somewhere else, you can feel good about partnering with our team in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
