Continuing Education
Lyons P&O staff just completed the OPIE Bootcamp in Clearwater, Florida!

This three day course worked on the efficiency of using our electronic medical management system so that we can better serve the O&P community. During those three days, our staff met together multiple times per day so that we can brainstorm how to implement advancements to our procedures in the office. We at Lyons are committed to providing the best care possible and our continuing education helps us to do so.

Ask the Prosthetist....Alex Lyons, CPO
Q: Alex, I keep seeing all these high tech prosthetic devices on the news. I've been very happy with my prosthetic leg but I'm starting to wonder if I'm missing out on some of this fancy new stuff.

 

A: These are very exciting times in the world of prosthetics! High-tech devices and components are being developed at a rapid pace, giving you, the user, lots of options to explore.   

 

If you find all of these choices confusing, you are not alone. Many people come to us asking this same question. Whether you are a new amputee or not, it is wise to ask questions and educate yourself on all the options available before making a decision about what prosthesis is right for YOU.    If you've got specific questions about things you see on tv or the internet, just give me a call or make an appointment and I'll be happy to talk to you about it. 



The mission of Lyons Prosthetics & Orthotics is to promote the well-being of individuals with amputations, orthopedic injuries, and disabilities in the Horry County Community. We provide accessible, quality O&P care, utilizing state of the art designed artificial limbs and braces. We are committed to quality and emphasize trust, respect, confidentiality, and compassion in a collaborative effort with the overall greater health care community.

If there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to contact me at 843-347-5800.

Sincerely,


Alexander Lyons, CPO
