Why ALOC-V?

Established in June 2007, American Limb and Orthopedic Company of Valparaiso (ALOC-V) is owned and managed by ABC Board Certified orthotists and prosthetists. The company is owned by Dagny Laur, C.O./Prosthetist who bought this location from Norbert Fliess, C.P. and CEO of American Limb & Orthopedic Co. We share a common goal and commitment to providing high quality, innovative and comprehensive orthotic and prosthetic services to local hospitals, nursing homes and the community at large. Our focus is to consistently provide professional and patient-centered care that is accessible and affordable.

I never had well minded people like yourself, very understanding. I have served for 10 years in the Army, seen over 100 different doctors. I never felt so good as I do now. Thank you. Your company is rated #1. I'm honored to have met you and your help will allow me to enjoy my kids and life. Thanks again.   -Gary

ALOC-V provides the full range of treatments for individuals who have suffered debilitating illnesses and injuries. Our commitment to state-of-the-art technology has kept us in the forefront of orthotic and prosthetic care. Our services are highly personalized and customized to each patient’s needs. Successful treatment depends on many factors, but an important consideration is the knowledge, skill and experience of the practitioner and the ongoing relationship that is established with the patient and the rehabilitation team.

ALOC-V employs only American Board for Certification (ABC) certified orthotists and prosthetists. ABC is the national certifying/accrediting body of the orthotic and prosthetic profession. Created in 1948, ABC serves to promote the welfare of the physically challenged by certifying practitioners who have met high educational, ethical and competency standards through university post-graduate degree, practical experience and rigorous written and clinical examination.

ALOC-V orthotists and prosthetists work closely with the physician, physical therapist, occupational therapist, nurse and family to ensure progress towards recovery and rehabilitation. Through thorough assessment of the patient’s functional status—physical examination, medical history and rehabilitation goals—the appropriate orthotic and/or prosthetic treatment plan can be derived to achieve the greatest level of mobility, comfort and function possible.
