About Us
Breakey Prosthetics is an American Board Certified facility located in the Willow Glen area of San Jose, CA. We specialize in the rehabilitation of both upper and lower amputees. Our staff's expertise in conventional prosthetics, Myo-electric arms, C-Legs and the Genium Knee allows us a wide range of opportunity to meet our patients needs.
- Our prostheses are designed and fabricated in our in-house lab for quality control, allowing us to give efficient and effective care to our patients in all stages.
- In addition, our clinic and lab areas have separate entrances which keeps the patient area cleaner, quieter and free of congestion, giving easy access to all.
- At Breakey Prosthetics, we also offer both patient and family education, in addition to one-on-one prosthetic training. These added educational and training opportunities greatly compliment the rehabilitation process for our patients.
Our history
Breakey Prosthetics was founded by Dr. James W. Breakey, Ph.D, in 1978. Dr. Breakey's goals were to create a comprehensive rehabilitation program for the amputee utilizing old-fashioned personal care with the latest technology available.
He is known nationwide for his seminars on the C-Leg and the LASAR posture alignment device; and his publishings on the body image of the amputee.
Dr. Break retired in 2006 from clinical practice and is currently teaching at selected seminars across the United States, but his philosophies are still carried on today at Breakey Prosthetics.
Our mission
Our mission is not only to provide our patients with quality care and up-to-date technology to suit their individual needs and lifestyles; but also to live their healthiest lives with new normality.
Our skilled and talented staff has been working together as a team for over three decades to provide our patients with the finest care available.
